Definitely looks like the most screen accurate iteration of this hilt on the market so far, all because it contains one veeeery specific design element that most fanmade FX variations of this hilt always seem to miss (including LDM and VV), based on what I can see in this video, although it's very subtle (hopefully Kahl will chime in to confirm): the base of either side of the activation box should have a slight inward bevel at where it joins the main body of the hilt (except on the separate flat piece of metal where the arrows/screws are). This is how it is on both the MR LE replicas as well as the original MoM (Magic of Myth) prop used in the deleted scene from ROTJ where Luke was assembling his new lightsaber (and allegedly used in the "I see you have constructed a..." scene where Darth Vader is holding it). LDM and VV's control boxes just go straight down and are flush with the main body of the hilt. A very minor thing that by no means discounts the MKVI and VV Hero from being equally amazing hilts, but what's important is that it's a reflection of the attention to detail that was paid by KR/OR when designing this. Kudos, guys - can't wait to get mine in a couple weeks.
I had one in my cart, I clicked proceed to checkout and it wouldn't load the page. Then a message came up saying an error occurred. I went back to the page thinking it would still be in my cart... But... It was gone. They sold out so quickly! I was delighted when I actually got one. At first.... Damn it
Hi Kahl, where did you find that photo of the Episode 8 sabers at the 1:12 mark of your video? Love your weathered Luke Hero hilt on your Facebook, BTW!
There will indeed bud. I'm working on it once I catch up with pending orders :) In the meantime, checkout the written tutorial: goth-customsabers.ftl-network.com/log/diy-krhero/
Hiya, I am new to this wonderful world, Like you I thought that Master replica's were the best you could get! Is there going to be another run of this hilt or any other hero ones? Cheers Ash
Any hope that you'll do another run of these?!
PLEASE!! Make a second run

Kr sabers, will you by any chance do another run of these in a couple of months or in the near future
Got one of the extras for the Black Friday sale! Can't wait to hold it. My childhood dream lightsaber in my hands!
Read my mind!
Beatyful work Khal, very well done :)
I am still in love wiht your Obi Wan
OMG i snatched one up!! i am super stoked about it :P
cant even find it on the website I was looking since it hit 3pm over there
When are you making another run? Please KR, I'm dying for this hilt
Very cool Khal! Are you gonna sell those episode 8 blade plugs separately?
Do you know when the next batch of hilts will be available?
Do you remember when this were available? Yea good time ..
Why on earth he stopped doing runs of them is beyond me xD
Nicely done KR!
Ready for another run, whenever that happens. Please. :)
Noooooooo, Khal.... I missed this run? :/

Damn it
It would've been my first saber as well... I've never owned one myself.
Until next time.
PLEASE MAKE MORE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ALSO DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW MUCH THEY CHARGE!?!?!?!?!?
Is there a wiring diagram for the pcb?

Steve Bunnell I believe it comes from the Target Exclusive Edition of The Force Awakens on Blu Ray 3D
Tri ring mate, lol tri ring.
Fabulous job though, love this product.
Is there any chance that you will do a run on these sabers again?
You never answer my comments! When are you going to make another run?
Makes me feel like more of an idiot for buying a SF Prodigal Son. Hopefully we'll get another run of this Hero when I can afford it.
SNAP!! I feel exactly the same! Puts the SF prodigal son to shame!! There is a second run coming!
Dammit i watched that video this morning and completely forgot about it being UK time. I am signed up for the next batch tho.
What was the priece for that hilt?
Hey Kahl, Just received my hero yesterday! Will there ever be a "how to install eletronics" on a hero or..?
Thanks & congrats

How much does this cost and when is the next run.
Any chance of you making/selling the ep6 blade plugs to fit VV heroes?
VV uses 1 inch blades, so they should fit just fine.
I dont think he sells them separate from this kit at all tho yet
+FlyingAce1016 Not yet, but he told me on his FB page that he would later.
awesomeeeeee! :D
How does this compare to solos hold v2?
Isn't that a tri ring though?
What time is the second run of this prop going to be?
Why is there a grub screw on the first blade plug?
It's screen accurate
+KR Sabers oh ok
Is there likely to be a second run ?
wil there be a new run?
In Canada that's 350 without shipping. When it comes to collecting in Canada there is no love.
