Mark Newbold talks with Regal Robot’s Tom Spina about their new Hero Gaffi Stick™ Prop Replica – Signature Edition, and The Mandalorian™ Tusken Raider™ Gaffi Stick™ Prop Replica.
Both are available from 12 noon EST on 15th February 2023 at www.regalrobot.com/starwars
The Mandalorian™ Tusken Raider™ Gaffi Stick™ Prop Replica – $1,399.00
This 1:1 prop replica is based on the unique Tusken Raider™ Gaffi Sticks™ primarily seen in The Mandalorian™. Also called a Gaferffii™, this limited, numbered edition is part of Regal Robots’ Star Wars™ Archive Collection, a continuation and expansion of their work creating authentic replicas with impeccable lineage.The faux wood section of this gaffi stick (based on a Fijian “totokia” club) was mastered directly from the same molds as the props in the series. For this edition, they’ve also recreated the faux-metal spike end (originally provided by the production). The solid-resin prop replicas are made in the U.S.A. and are authentic recreations of the props wielded by the Tusken Raiders in Seasons 1 and 2 of The Mandalorian.
The polyurethane resin props are all painted and hand-stained with a hint of woodgrain and a multi-layered faux metal spike. An elegant black wood stand supports the heavy prop for table-top display.
Each of the 150 pieces in this limited edition will be made and hand finished in the U.S.A.
Hero Gaffi Stick™ Prop Replica – Signature Edition – $1,999.00
This 1:1 prop replica is based on the hero-style Tusken Raider™ Gaffi Stick™ seen in Star Wars: A New Hope™. Also called a Gaferffii™, this signature edition is part of Regal Robots’ Star Wars™ Archive Collection, a continuation and expansion of their work creating authentic replicas with impeccable lineage.With hands-on access to the original film prop artifacts and high resolution 3D scanning, their team crafted a faithful recreation of the original props from the film, capturing the unique asymmetry, hand-carved look and intentionally crude welding.
With masters created using that technology, their team solid-cast heavy polyurethane resin for the “wood” portion of the Gaderffii club, just like the original props. That section is painted and hand stained with a hint of woodgrain. The metal tube and fins are welded steel with a cast metal spike and layers of hand aging and distressing.
An elegant black wood stand supports the prop for table-top display. This special signature edition also includes a plaque hand-signed by Roger Christian, who built the prop for the 1977 film.
Each of the 150 pieces in this limited, signature edition will be made and hand finished in the U.S.A.
