Star Wars Replicas from the Prop Makers of The Force Awakens

Are you a lover of all things Star Wars? Well the Force is strongly in your favour, because the best of the best have stepped up to create the ultimate prop replicas for you. That’s right, the prop makers from Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Prop Shop, are using their talents to create precisely detailed prop replicas of the finest craftsmanship. For now eight prop replicas will be sold without limit, with the exception of two. So what’s for sale Jawas?

Darth Vader Helmet (Melted) $3,500 (limited edition of 500)

 

FN-2187 Stormtrooper Helmet $1,750 (limited edition of 500)

Here’s what the talented prop makers have to say about this big project:

“Prop Shop’s been involved in the film business for twenty years, and to be invited to show such a Star Wars it comes with a responsibility. There’s certainly a leap of faith that Lucasfilm made to make this collaboration happen. It’s the first time that I’ve seen where the consumer can actually access props by the props company that worked on the film itself —it’s a very unique feature. We’re creating all of the parts for these props that will match with what you saw in the film. We’ve spent weeks and months developing these things into the best, most authentic, top quality item that we can possibly make. The technology we use when we scan objects and being on set means that we can then take all that detail, capture that, and then reproject that onto a clean model. So basically what you end up with at the end of the day is what you see on set. We carry a huge sense of responsibility to satisfy the fans and make sure they’re really owning a piece of history —that’s what we’re trying to achieve. The fans are gonna get this prop and they’re gonna be really blown away by it. Every day we came to work it wasn’t a job, it was a passion for us and so, I mean, we really, really care about what we’re doing, what we’re producing, and we’re really, really pleased with what we’ve come up with.”

…

You can’t get any nearer to the real thing than this. The props will be where they should be, and that’s with the fans. It’s been a real labour of love for us at Prop Shop, and we really hope that you enjoy having these pieces in your homes.” – Prop Shop
