Factory Entertainment's design team,
working with Mattel, wanted to create a real-world interpretation of
this important 'McGuffin' that would bridge the realms of fantasy and
reality. The Factory Entertainment team spent many hours studying
the vintage animation, and drew inspiration from both the 1983 and 2002
series, as well as the cover art of the 2001 commemorative VHS
release. This replica has been designed to capture all the iterations as
a singular blended execution.
The box was first sculpted as a 3D model. Taking inspiration from
ancient ossuary boxes, fine details where then added by hand to give the
appearance of age and wear. It features mystical engraved script and is
cast from polystone.
The stone itself is supported on an industrial-looking cradle that
houses an LED lighting effect. This effect is triggered by a hidden
sensor when the box is opened, lighting the diamond from beneath.
A round-cut diamond shape was chosen to maximize the sparkle when the
LED light shines through its many facets. The stone is high
pressure cast in acrylic.
Every replica is supplied in a full color collector box and comes with a certificate of authenticity.
Limited Edition of no more than 1,000 pieces.
The Diamond Ray Of Disappearance starts shipping July 1, 2022!
