Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):

Q: Can I have a different color saber blade on any character?
A: Yes - you can optionally specify Blue, Green, Red , Purple/Magenta or White on any character's saber. Dark Purple, Yellow and other colors coming soon.

Q: Can I power Vader's stand and chest box at the same time?
A: Yes, see the "Lighting Integration" options

Q: Do you make sabers for Premium Format (1/4 scale) statues/figures?
A: Yes, I can replace the blade on your CCFL PF or convert your non-CCFL PF to a CCFL blade.

Q: Do you ship to my country?
A: Yes

Q: Do you have a power supply for my country?
A: Yes

Q: What do I need to send you?
A: Hilt(s) for whichever characters you want - they can be the one with or without the original blade, your choice.

Q: How do I return my original hilt(s)/saber(s) to you?
A: By postal mail. Package the parts wrapped in printer paper in a small padded or stiff envelope/mailer such as a #000 bubble mailer. You should post the item as a flat/letter type. If you're in the US you should send it as First-Class Mail International of the Large Envelope (Flat) mailpiece type (under $3 postage up to 4oz). Pay for postage online at stamps.com to save time/money. I'll send you a return address and detailed instructions by email when we finalize your order.

Q: Are the sabers very bright?
A: Yes. "Insanely bright." :) Consider one of our dimmers if you want to control the brightness.
 
Sabers and Vader's belt/chest powered from my Vader Saber kit, shown above, from a single 12v supply - this wires directly to my shelf lighting system.

Ignore the unfutzed poses, this isn't the final display - Vader is also in the middle of modification with a loose helmet.

 
very awesome, Pixel! this would've been great for my Anakin if it didn't break at the knee oh so long ago with the wires tearing apart in the break
 
Pixel, can the Vader and Luke sabers be made just a bit longer? Even just 1cm? They look spectacular but seem just a tad short in those duel pics. Seems like the PT ones are longer.
 
I tried pming, sending email and Facebook messaging you bUT have not heard back. Are you still selling these?
 
I've got a big backlog at the moment of messages and pending orders, but I'll get through everything.

I had sent you some messages a while back, let me know when you will be taking new orders. I am interested in having 2 sabers done.
 
Just wanted to give credit where its due! Thank you Bruno for fixing my Aayla Secura PF lightsaber!

Hi PixelPiper.

I have a Hot Toys ANH Darth Vader and a Hot Toys ANH Obi-Wan Kenobi. Vader has two belt boxes and a lightsaber that lights up. Obi-Wan has just a lightsaber that light up.

I would like to display them 24/7 without the batteries and light bulbs running out too fast. I was told you could create alternate power sources that light them up which would allow them to be displayed 24/7. I am no electronics expert. I was told it has something to do with battery bypass units that can run off the mains.

Is it possible? Please help me.
 
Also interested in knowing when you're taking orders again.

How much does a hilt + dimmer cost? Is there a way to put like 5-6 sabers on one switch/dimmer without the wiring being a giant mess?
