A bunch of new goodies have been put up for sale on Her Universe’s online shop, including a sweet japor snippet and some fun Clone Wars-related stuff for little girls/infants, such as onesies and toddler tees or an Ahsoka hoodie (will also fit very short women). Bad girls can opt for the Sith tank top. Pick up the something-for-everyone tote bag.

You’d think that some collectible company would make their own Jappor Snippet item in full production quality for people to purchase. Maybe it’s not in demand because it’d be a pretty pricey item to produce and sell for what would basically be a recreation of a piece of wood, or whatever Jappor is supposed to be?

Heh heh. Though Anakin/Padmé fans still want ‘em.
There were people who made their own unlicensed versions and sold them on eBay. I bought two, one of which was a really good copy. People would stop and ask me where I got it. I have all of the other charms anyway, and this one is small and subtle enough to wear in non-fannish situations.

Even aside from it’s poignant story significance, It’s a really nice design, and it’s surprising (or not, sadly) that it hasn’t been officially licensed ’til now. It would’ve been a great high-end item to release in 1999 or 2005; I guess it’s more money left on the table by neglecting female fans for so long, which is why Her Universe is such a cool step in the right direction.
Didn’t Master Replicas do The Emperor’s cane and cloak clasp? I can’t believe that a Japor Snippet wouldn’t have sold–they could’ve sold it in a slick little display box and included a necklace in case people wanted to wear it, hitting both the prop replica market *and* fans who’d want it as a piece of jewelry.
