Disney and Lucasfilm today launched Star Wars Collectibles: Ultimate Studio Edition bringing an unprecedented level of authenticity to prop replica products for fans. Made to order by propmakers at Propshop in Pinewood Studios using digital data collected during filming of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, the production process marries cutting-edge 3D printing technology with master craftsmanship to produce replicas virtually identical to those seen on screen. Available initially in the U.S., starwarsultimatestudioedition.com is the exclusive location to purchase these products.

“We’re delighted to be able to produce such a groundbreaking line of merchandise,” said James Enright, Assets Director and CEO of Propshop. “Designed, made and finished by the hands of specialist motion picture prop makers and artists, we’ve worked extremely hard to create something that we know would make fans and filmmakers proud.”

The initial offering from the Star Wars Collectibles line features eight prop replicas from Star Wars: The Force Awakens, including Darth Vader’s melted helmet, Rey’s lightsaber hilt, FN-2187 Stormtrooper helmet and more. Each replica item is a limited production piece due to the high level of craftsmanship required to create them.

These made-to order replicas will come with custom display pedestals, packed in branded wooden crates that are inspired by the real crates used to ship the film props. Each one is custom built to accommodate the shape of the replica inside.

“We are continually looking for new ways to extend the storytelling from movies in innovative ways,” said Josh Silverman, executive vice president of global licensing at Disney Consumer Products and Interactive Media. “We’ve worked hand in hand with the film makers and talented team at Propshop to create a unique product experience for fans and we’re excited to see their reactions to these incredible prop replicas.”

Props to include the following...

Rey's Graflex Hilt
Kylo Ren Lightsaber Hilt
Chewbacca Bowcaster
Poe Dameron Helmet
Darth Vader Melted Helmet
Rey's Staff
FN-2187 Stormtrooper Helmet
Kylo Ren Helmet

Sabers and staff priced at $1,250 each, helmets at between $1,750 - $3,500 each and the Bowcaster at $2,500

Average waiting time is 16 weeks for the products to ship

AWESOME!

and pricey.

Pretty sweet:

-Includes a chip to authenticate the serial number that is printed on the Certificate of Authenticity
-Delivered in an exclusive, custom wooden crate inspired by the packaging used for the original prop (seems like would skyrocket the shipping cost)

Re: Star Wars Ultimate Studio Edition Prop Replicas

I may have missed it, but I didn't see what materials will be used for the helmets. Fiberglass? The Kylo Ren helmet is almost three times as expensive as the Anovos Premier Line version, so what are the differences to justify the price?
 
Re: Star Wars Ultimate Studio Edition Prop Replicas

I have a hunch that Anovos are a tad idealized, even if Premier line. These Ultimate Studio ones might be more accurate. Still the price is quite high. They don't ship to my EU location either (though it's good to see they ship everywhere in Africa and to some tiny islands in the middle of nowhere LOL), not that it would matter since I don't collect TFA.
 
Re: Star Wars Ultimate Studio Edition Prop Replicas

I also wonder what the edition size will be on the items that don't have that information listed.
 
Re: Star Wars Ultimate Studio Edition Prop Replicas

Shipping prices are insane but I guess this is for a small niche that wants the full experience of the purchase. And at the end of the day it comes down to is the total price (with shipping) worth it to the buyer. Look forward to seeing what else they come out with.


Rey Staff × 1 $1,250.00
Subtotal $1,250.00
Shipping UPS (includes Duty, Shipping and Handling): $362.78
Tax $87.50
Total $1,700.28

Yeah, I don't love the stands. They look like they are built for toys, not a $2,000 helmet...

Tempted to buy that Vader helmet for $3500. My guess is it will sell out fast.

What, $540 to ship it?!?!??!
 
Re: Star Wars Ultimate Studio Edition Prop Replicas

Yeah the shipping on these are insane. Its like 400 shipping just for the kylo helmet. As much as I love these.... its way out of my price range haha.
 
Re: Star Wars Ultimate Studio Edition Prop Replicas

Well, they are crating it to ship, and it's shipping to the U.S. from the U.K., so I'm not shocked at the shipping charges. What I really want to know are what materials are used??? The video shows 3D printing is used, but is that just for a mold, or for every piece? If for every piece, then are we talking about plastic here?
 
Re: Star Wars Ultimate Studio Edition Prop Replicas

The Kylo Ren helmet weighs in at only 1310 grams, which is 2.88 pounds. Sounds like plastic for that one to me.

Wow, $2,000 for a plastic helmet? That's unbelievable.
 
Re: Star Wars Ultimate Studio Edition Prop Replicas

Well, it's a lot like Quantum Mechanix. You're paying for a prop made by the original prop builders. Hence the cost. It's more about their time and expertise as opposed to materials, I'm guessing. Also, you get to pay for a custom wooden box!
 
Re: Star Wars Ultimate Studio Edition Prop Replicas

And the guys at RPF already found a few accuracy issues with the lightsabers... Made by the original prop builders, but less accurate than fan made LOL
