Disney and Lucasfilm today launched Star Wars Collectibles: Ultimate Studio Edition bringing an unprecedented level of authenticity to prop replica products for fans. Made to order by propmakers at Propshop in Pinewood Studios using digital data collected during filming of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, the production process marries cutting edge 3D printing technology with master craftsmanship to produce replicas virtually identical to those seen on screen. Available initially in the U.S., starwarsultimatestudioedition.com is the exclusive location to purchase these products. Said James Enright, Assets Director and CEO of Propshop.

"We're delighted to be able to produce such a groundbreaking line of merchandise. Designed, made and finished by the hands of specialist motion picture prop makers and artists, we've worked extremely hard to create something that we know would make Star Wars fans and filmmakers proud."

The initial offering from the Star Wars Collectibles line features eight prop replicas from Star Wars: The Force Awakens including Darth Vader's melted helmet, Rey's lightsaber hilt, FN-2187 Stormtrooper helmet and more. Each replica item is a limited production piece due to the high level of craftsmanship required to create them. These made-to-order replicas will come with custom display pedestals, packed in branded wooden crates that are inspired by the real crates used to ship the film props. Each one is custom built to accommodate the shape of the replica inside. Said Josh Silverman, executive vice president of global licensing at Disney Consumer Products and Interactive Media.

"We are continually looking for new ways to extend the storytelling from movies in innovative ways. We've worked hand in hand with the film makers and talented team at Propshop to create a unique product experience for fans and we're excited to see their reactions to these incredible prop replicas."

Disney's YouTube channel has the latest installment of their "Boxed" series, which gives a behind-the-scenes look at Darth Vader's melted helmet being created.
