Rubber Training Skana?

[Sirogrif]

So in Devstream 38, we saw Sheldon hefting a replica skana which, for me, has never been seen before. Is this a prelude to potentially selling rubber training skanas in the merch store? If not, then it should be. Replica tenno training weaponry, mainly the skana, would be absolutely awesome to have and play with, not to mention the potential for costume authenticity. Who else wants replica weaponry?! Which weapons...?

That Skana was a fan-made replica that was sent in to DE. I wouldn't expect to see it in the store based on that alone.

i want DE to start casting the replica skana they got and selling it fellow Canadian here love the game and DE if you look at your comments think of it this way its advertisement that pays for itself in the past games made full size replicas to buy and it caused cosplayers and collectors to gain interest in the game not to mention current fans bought them as well you can look online there are simple tutorials for casting and molding replicas and if it does well you have a new product line. Also it could promote more fan work, you could have a community event to build more full size props and vote on which one you will make copies of next that can be sold on your merch store.

just cause someone else made it for them doesn't mean that can't mold and cast copies of it in resin and sell them in fact its better that the community makes the prototype there is no cost for DE and you know there is community interest.
