Taron Malicos custom neopixel blue lightsaber inspired by the Blue Beetle and insectoid heroes with blue finish and acid-etch scarab carapace motifs

At a glance, we are pretty sure that most of you will know the source of inspiration for the designs of this rather striking piece. Indeed, the Daemos was the obvious choice for of its iconic emitter claws which truly serves as a derivation of the insectoid hero’s very own.

The design process began with us featuring our rendition of his mask on the top of the emitter sleeve while balancing that out on the opposite side with a pattern taken from the hero's chest plate. Continuing from there, we surrounded the auxiliary switch with a six-legged emblem and decorated the Covertec wheel band with an outlined motif of claws and carapace plating.

All these was then carefully acid-etched onto the brushed metal, with the rest of those surfaces getting powder-coated in a recognizable blue. The grenade grip and remaining non-etchable areas were left in deep black to both contrast the primary color as well as mirror the hues of the bug-inspired protagonist. This saber was completed with an blue illuminated activation switch.

Whether you are taking down the imperialistas or creating weapons from your imagination, this limited-edition saber is the perfect ally. The world is a place to protect, and there is no better weapon to do that with then the “Sapphiric Scarab”. It will be built in BOTH Neo CFX and Neo Proffie configuration in very limited quantities, and will be available for purchase on October 14th at 9am EDT.
