My Spoiler-Free Thoughts on the First Episode of "Lanterns"

I'll simply say this - the creators of this show haven't just made a murder mystery. They've made several smaller mysteries, many relating to the Green Lantern mythos that will challenge what we all know about the series. And honestly, that's what's gonna keep me watching. I think it's what's gonna keep all of us watching. I had my misgivings, just like most of you, but I can see this series growing on me. So my suggestion - give it a chance, but leave your preconceptions at the door. Embrace it for it's differences so you can appreciate the things it will inevitably keep the same.

Seeking Recommendations for Blade Carrying Bag

I'm preparing for NYCC in October and I'd like to bring my lightsaber as well as a blade or two, so I'm looking for a discreet carrying bag just for the blades. I had one ages ago but it got lost during a move. The blades would be around 32" each, one Neopixel, one baselit with a converter puck. Does anybody here have any recommendations for a good, durable, affordable bag?

Ring Upgrade

So I recently switched to a different production service for making my rings. They offered a lot more options for everything. The old service I used had a very limited color palette for resin. This place I'm using now can use PANTONE CODES. The color variety is nearly limitless. So I decided to test it by ordering a replacement face for my personal ring, dyed in a shade of Emerald Green. The last face I got was way too light in color. This one is just right. It sacrifices a tiny bit of the glow brightness but I'd say it's worth it for the daytime look. Image source is... me! I made this ring, I took these pics.

UPDATE: Ehhhh, after a day of wearing it around I've determined it's a little too dark. The glow definitely suffers a bit from the darkness of the face. I may make another one in a lighter shade of emerald to get the best balance of glow brightness and color saturation.

Noc'Sagian Lantern Action Figures - Galius Zed and Zilius Zox

Thought you guys might get a kick outta these - my partner u/ModForgeCustoms and I worked together to make some action figures of Galius Zed and Zilius Zox, the Green and Red Lantern Noc'Sagians! They're made primarily of PETG, with TPU faces and joints. And a feature we're both really proud of - Galius' eyes can be repositioned! Just stick a toothpick into the pupil (ow) and they can be moved around!

Blast from the Past: Nomi Sunrider Lightsaber Custom

This is one I've been meaning to do for a long, long time - a comic accurate Nomi Sunrider lightsaber. I never thought I could make it happen but things lined up perfectly. I found a used empty Mystic Knight hilt from Rebel Sabers on eBay for cheap, got some grip tape, and ordered some parts from Vire Sabers to change out the emitter. It's running a Xenopixel core. I need to customize the sound effects a bit but I'm super happy with how it turned out. The CG image is taken from an ancient website found by a friend of mine via the Wayback Machine. It looks like an interpretation from the comic panel. I took a few small liberties with the design but I think it's pretty accurate.

Inspira Designs Compatible Parts?

I recently bought a lightsaber off eBay that's made by Inspira Designs. It looks as though the threading on the parts isn't compatible with LGT or VHC parts. Does anybody know of any existing parts that are compatible with Inspira Designs sabers?

Selling my Katarn/ Rahn Dark Forces II Lightsaber, installed with Golden Harvest. I think it's a GHv3. As for the hilt, I've lost track of which version this is. It's originally from The Custom Saber Shop but it's not the most recent version of this hilt. The chassis has a crystal chamber, but after a tumble off my display shelf the crystal broke out. The accent light still works, and other than that the entire thing is in working condition. Battery is included, blade is not. I can show a demo video upon request. Asking $400, willing to ship outside the US. Please feel free to ask me any further questions. MTFBWY~

Tracking Down an Image Lost to the Internet: Nomi Sunrider's Lightsaber?

This is a bit of a weird request but my search skills aren't returning the results I need. Ages upon ages ago there was this website I stumbled across with a collection of lightsaber hilts, half of them canon, half of them fan created. I think it was a homebrew resource for some kind of Star Wars pen & paper RPG. A few names stand out: Ottar Doneeta (written to be an ancestor of canon character Tott Doneeta), Quel Drin Fal, and even Col. Sanders. Yes, that Col. Sanders. The images were all CG and featured a couple paragraphs of character bio to accompany them. This was way before the current canon or even The Clone Wars. Hell, it predated Episode II.

I ask because the gallery's take on Nomi Sunrider's hilt was rather unique. I recently found a hilt I want to customize into that particular version but for the life of me I cannot find a trace of this website. Does anybody here have any idea what I'm talking about? Is this jogging any long-slumbering memories in any of you guys? Hopefully somebody can give me something to go on here. Thanks a lot, gang. MTFBWY.

May the 4th Be With You All! Every year I try to splurge a little on at least one thing to celebrate, usually a lightsaber. I've been working on this one for a while now. It's an 89 Sabers Vader Episode III hilt that I converted to be closer to the hilt displayed at the Barbican Museum. I designed and 3D printed the box and dome greeblies myself, had the d-ring block custom made by someone on the RPF, and had the install and clamp card provided by my good friend The Saber Merchant. It's running a Proffie 2.2. Very simple install, no major gimmicks like a crystal chamber. Super happy with how it turned out. Since it's not a 100% accurate replica of the Barbican though I'm calling it the "Barba-Kinda."

So I'm 3D printing a full scale Alan Scott Power Battery replica for a client right now and it got me thinking - has there ever been a scene in the comics where Alan had no choice but to charge his ring on a standard GLC Battery, or vice versa? Like has Kyle ever tried to charge his ring on Alan's Battery? I know Alan's powers traditionally come from the Starheart so I wonder what would happen in either of these cases!
