Star Wars Collectibles: Ultimate Studio Edition – Prop Replicas by Propshop

under Star Wars Toy News

Propshop is a digital and physical asset production studio. They are the company behind the actual props used in Star Wars: The Force Awakens. In making the assorted props for the film, they used a combination of traditional sculpting, 3D scanning, and digital sculpting and 3D printing to meticulously craft the props used in the film. Now they are putting their groundbreaking technology and effects work, and bringing it to consumers. Propshop has teamed up with Lucasfilm to introduce Star Wars Collectibles: Ultimate Studio Edition prop replicas.

These aren’t just any type of prop replica. The Star Wars Collectibles: Ultimate Studio Edition prop replicas are being crafted the exact same way as the original props were made, all by the same people who created them in the first place. So that means if you buy the burned Darth Vader mask replica, you will have a piece this is identical in every way to the screen used prop, from design to materials used to the hand painted look. Each prop replica has a RFID chip installed, which act as a digital Certificate of Authenticity. Wave 1 of the collectibles includes:

  • FN-2187 Stormtrooper Helmet with blood streaks
  • Kylo Ren’s Helmet
  • Poe Dameron’s X-wing Helmet
  • Darth Vader’s Melted Helmet
  • Rey’s Staff
  • Chewbacca’s Bowcaster
  • Kylo Ren’s Lightsaber Hilt
  • Rey’s Lightsaber Hilt

Being 100% authentic replicas, crafted by the same company who made the original props, comes at a cost. These items will be for the Star Wars collector with the deepest of pockets. The Lightsaber hilts alone cost $1,250 each, while Darth Vader’s melted helmet will run $3,500. Most of us will have to admire these from afar. For those who would like to purchase these, you can do so by Clicking Here. You can see photos of the replicas as well as a fantastic video on Propshop by reading on.

    I get it, but these are really expensive. MR I always thought had great quality and pretty damn good likeness to the real thing, and they weren't this much.

    The difference, though, is that Master Replica were still doing their best to replicate the look of the Lightsabers, but using their own interpretation. where as these are as close to film used props as you can get without buying the ones seen on screen. Made by the people doing it for the films, from the same materials, files and process used in making the films props. Plus it's delivered the same way the actual props are, in hand made custom crates. That's a a pretty impressive thing to own.

    Oh I know, and agree. Like I said, I get it, I get the reasons for the price tags, but still too rich for my blood, especially since from a display point of view, these would really look like my MR collection and only I would really know the difference.

    I thought for a moment that the melted helmet replica was a prank. Priorities change when you have money to burn. For my part, in that hypothetical (!) situation, I'd focus on clean, shiny props. The bowcaster looks very nice -- another man-cave trophy...!

    I still hope that somebody will release another miniature, good quality, screen-accurate Vader helmet like the Riddell version that came out a few years ago...

    for me the melted helmet is infinitely more interesting.

    I would love to see behind the scenes on how they make that thing. looks to be a complete pain in the trowser hams to get out of a mold.

    that being said. I'm not buy a $3500 prop, would like money to burn though.
