Seriously cannot wait to get in on this run! thanks guys for offering it!!! The 2002 MR FX Anakin AOTC saber was the first "replica" saber I ever purchased back in 2002 when it came out...I also hear that it was the first mass produced certified "replica" saber with electronics on the market...so this comeback as an "Authentic Scale replica" with the capability of being fully electronics ready is certainly an awesome sight to see!!!

thanks again for making my "unicorn" saber be available soon!!!  :afro:

The "long" screws are place holders and we will get a different heat sink.

We are still working on getting the prototype ready. Designing a good chassis solution and test the first install.
We hope to have more details by the end of the month. We work together with Saberproject shop so there will be a post in the MC after all details are verified by the staff. Thanks for your interest guys =)

I've been watching these on Facebook, and whenever they're officially available I'm 100% down for one. A beautiful design!

What is the ID and inner available length of the hilt?

Title: Re: New Run Open!! The Tusken Slayer - an Anakin Skywalker AOTC inspired hilt
Post by: Noir1990 on May 09, 2017, 12:03:21 PM

The id varies between 23mm and 26mm because of the deep groove on the side. The main hilt is 219mm long plus 6,5mm pommel. It's really tiny.

Finally new pictures of our second prototype arrived and we got an impression of an installed Tusken Slayer. The hilt is made out of aluminium and chrome plated. The black parts are anodized. It features an one inch balde holder, blade plug, comes with a heat sink, covertec, display pommel, rubber grips, a magnetic box with the possibility to hide switches, six 5mm leds and of course two ascents leds (these will be colored). At the moment the grips are very soft, we will change that when we are doing more Tusken Slayer hilts.

I am signed up! So excited to be in on this run. It's obvious how much hard work and quality you put into the design of this saber. Can't wait to get it!

Btw, any chance of a chromed Anakin ROTS run after this? I'd love to see how you guys would do that saber as well.

Almost there! Everything is ready to be shipped by the machinist. A small batch Tusken Slayer hilts will be in our hands by Friday for a final quality control.

Hey guys,

I'm not associated with watto's but I know this run has ended and most have received their hilts already. Watto's is considering another run of these but they said not until late this year.

Post by: Noir1990 on February 26, 2018, 03:43:44 AM

The run is long sold out. We closed preorder in September 2017. All hilts are shipped and at their owners hands. We had a few extras but those are gone too. We are going to open a second run in late summer/ fall. More news about that will be posted in our MC section. If you are interested, write me a pm and I will put your name down for the second batch, at least.
