“Buzz Lightyear mission log stardate 3901, I have somehow been marooned in this KZbin video, the man making this seems to be very skilled, I’ll update as my journey continues”

[@OdinMakes]

"Who are you talking to?"

[@ravenspropshop]

@@OdinMakes “uHh no one, just doing the mission log”

[@GOWONSKIE]

@@ravenspropshop Understandable Have a nice day

[@vrif_channel]

😂

[@geraltofrivia323]

Stardate*

[@undeadwiccan]

Having seen the movie, this is spot on. Buzz would be proud.

[@simonleleu3045]

I love how you have a bag with random wires just so it’s not visible for the viewer what a mess it is inside haha, feels relatable!

[@trollthorn145]

So now not only does it light up but the whole thing can charge your phone, Making it even more to practical to carry with you at a convention. Not a mistake just an unintended bonus feature.

[@artsy_dragon_creations]

This build makes me want to see you make a full contact lightsaber, like one you can actually hit someone with that doesn’t hurt. This might be one of your coolest builds just with how detailed and clean it looks. It legit looks manufactured for military use

[@tylerdavis6389]

I think Odin could totally pull off Buzz. Maybe a new full armor series?

[@bruisedhelmet8819]

The go to channel for any prop. I did the Black Knight (Monty Python) for last years Halloween thanks to Odin.

[@thesexybatman263]

This video probably have more views than the movie itself, but Odin actually deserve them.

[@ThorstenSimons]

It's a tactical short Light Knife ;) Incredible work Space Ranger!

[@thedoomslayer3266]

I would love to see you build the laser attachment that Buzz gets next. That would be so amazing.

[@missmarymack06]

Amazing! Can’t wait to see The Real Buzz Lightyear movie! 🤣

[@vrif_channel]

You pick the right name because your crafting is Godly ❤😍 I love watching your Channel

[@colbyherrman682]

looks good Odin looks like you made a mini lightsaber keep going

[@isaacixtupe8983]

The red and black looked bad ass too

[@Saytolounge5824]

Omg 😆 yes. Odin I’m gonna see this in theater this Friday!

[@VioletViolent]

Those curved panel lines look real good

[@jmanjonesthezombiekillinma6839]

To infinity and beyond! Well done Odin.

[@berniedavis6676]

I've seen Lightyear, and it was a pretty good movie. that plasma machete is the coolest thing in the movie.

[@theprintedpropshop]

I can only wish I can be as good as Odin one day!

[@beasted8104]

Can you make Jack Frost staff tutorial from rise of the guardians

[@RlVlN]

Childhood movie classic 👌

[@dencocreations1701]

Should do Zurgs mask next!

[@ericsonleecosplay4625]

Wow its amazing

[@GarrettWatts]

So cool!

[@udorechner6846]

Very nice build. The knife looks awesome.

[@sammymorse3949]

That looks really cool

[@davidgray3061]

That actually does look good I'm not going to lie I'm just more shocked that you made it out of phone and not plastic

[@theconqueringenigma]

I would love a video on your design process. I think the logic and planning that goes into it would be really interesting.

[@VincentGonzo]

Odin!! If theres one prop id love to see you tackle from Lightyear that I wanna make, is the crystallic Fusion Cell container/ Chamber

[@DaBuild]

Amazing build Odin! I particulary like this one! Thanks for sharing! Cheers! Dan

[@NPofficer]

That looks sick!

[@talaferrosingleton6965]

Awesome build!😃😎👍🏾

[@NullVoidGod]

To infinity and beyond!

[@Tonlah]

Oh you *gotta* do the Lightsaber Cheese Knife now 🤩

[@ladiesman217sun-luc-dong5]

The next project I'd like to see you make is Jim Lake Jr's. Trollhunter Sword from *Trollhunters Tales of Arcadia*

[@Revegelance]

Ooh, that'd be awesome! Trollhunters is great!

[@JasonMetzger8898]

Nobody has done this yet, but you should use a Samsung fold and make a real hitchhikers guide to the galaxy book like in the movie. Would be cool if you could get an app to go with it that plays the movie. This idea would take time, but you're the guy to do it. Love your channel.

[@tinfly27]

Now that's a knife

[@larryu3727]

I love the editing and the intro, as Adam Savage says, CHEF'S KISS!!!

[@tobynobel5671]

That's super cool. I got lazy and just bought a Mattel Laserblade to mod, but I think I'll make one too. I really like LIGHTYEAR.

[@jeffersonalmarinez2551]

its always nice to see you having fun, it spreads into us viewers. great video and awesome build.

[@nadine2623]

Amazing build. It's just a bit of a bummer to see the laser cutter... I do enjoy the hand builds more. Can't afford a laser cutter 🙁

[@johnmasonRCingabout]

Yeah, all 3D printers and laser cutters make it harder for a regular crafter to make these things. There should be separate shows for the hand crafted film props and the 3D printed laser cut ones.

[@ericsweetman9973]

I just got the Art of Lightyear book, and this prop is called the Ranger Laser Blade 2.0. There’s a whole page of weapon illustrations, any one of which would be amazing to see built, but it is hard to see the details.

[@aletrash999]

damn what a beautiful piece of art you just made, I'm your fan Greetings from Mexico

[@joaoaraujo4286]

The way you can make such real props out of foam is incredible to me, they always look amazing! Suggestion: I know it's odd, but I think Ryuga's gauntlet from Beyblade would be a cool prop to make, never seen it brough to life.

[@MrFTW]

Really cool build Odin, those laser cut pieces are just too perfect.

[@peggy_zero_Dad]

Certainly ‘seems like’ you got a Buzz out of this build!

[@jackstrange186]

I kind of want to see Buzz's suit made.

[@DeityLink69]

They also have the actual toy of the Light knife at target and its pretty cool

[@chris-demon6667]

You should do a video with every prop you have made

[@lowlvlcosplay]

Looking great, I Love your Videos

[@isaacnunez5297]

I’d love to see Odin make all the props from this movie. The knife, wrist mounted blaster that Buzz got in the chase scene. And finally. The ejector seat jetpack. Ya know. I’d love to see the whole suit 😂

[@JasonTodd-RedHood-GothamKnight]

Great job Odin! It came out so accurate!! The movie was so amazing as well, loved every aspect of it!!

[@cobaltgames7125]

Now the suit !

[@area1471]

Yes

[@d4l3k15]

About Damn time!!! Can you do the full suit?

[@d4l3k15]

And I mean the suit from the end of the movie, the one that has the laser and jetpack built in.

[@RSpudieD]

Great job Odin! I haven't seen the movie yet but after seeing all the trailers, this was a prop that stood out to me, too! It's so cool and I like how it's a combination with more realistic sci-fi with the handle and body mixed with a lightsaber-like blade! Yours looks really cool especially considering it's all from trailers and promo videos!

[@MrLethal1986]

Tp4056 is a decent little charge module for diy projects. This weapons reminds me of the pulse rifle from Aliens, maybe you should try that next.

[@markduggan3451]

Another great carving.

[@tylerthomas783]

Can you build Buzz Lightyear’s Wrist Communicator

[@patrickkavanagh7371]

Yeah definitely could have been longer but looks really legit like something Hasbro would sell.

[@sp3cter135]

looks amazing!! truly spot on. such a shame that this movie didn't do so well on release, i personally really enjoyed it.

[@aprilblackregentart6647]

Hold the phone, there’s gloss plastidip?! This turned out really awesome!

[@sald2of6]

Wow! Just WOW! I can't wait to see the movie and looking forward to building a Star Command Light Knife as well. I'm also blown away on how you changed your design and build steps using a laser cutter. Hope you do an tutorial (or maybe I missed it) on the model and processes your used. Seems like an awesome timesaver with incredible detail.

[@AzureDragoon]

You have made a lot of helmets, including some Star Wars helmets from clones to Mandalorians. However I would definitely like to see you build Darth Vaders helmet.

[@itsagundam79]

The plastazote & 5 volt strip look really nice, but I found a nice wide strip recently that looks like neon. It's even called Neon LEDs on Adafruit. It's 9-12v, but it is super bright and nice & thick! I might try it with something like this!

[@OdinMakes]

I wanted to use some COB LEDs and I thought I had ordered some but it turns out I didn't! So the 5 volt strip was a compromise because I didn't have what I thought I did!

[@Pl4smaR4ys24]

Totally random but it would be awesome to see you make the Shadow Saber from Power Rangers S.P.D or Koragg's Sword and Shield from Mystic Force

[@Tazerboy_10]

😀 - It's like a light up machete/saber! > I want to see the movie, but I'll wait for it to release on Disney+...

[@ravastarkskywalkermcqueen95]

Hey Odin bud. I challenge you to make Buzz Lightyear’s Suit. But start of with his Jet Pack.

[@PhoutianPhill]

Sword of Aeons: Fable the Lost Chapters

[@jasonfabrick9308]

You should make a sword version.

[@stuchly1]

This looks absolutely incredible! So much fun to watch your process! 💙😍

[@danielglaive1234]

Can you please make the two-part mask the grabber wears in the black phone I really wanted to make it but I have no idea how I would go about such a task.

[@PapaOoni]

I have a suggestion! Can you make the aged (or whatever the word is) chaos blades from god of war 4. When you first get them they have like cracks and they look old. You did Thor’s hammer 2 times. I feel like the chaos blades should be made again but instead from god of war 4! Maybe you can even make the upgraded ones! When you upgrade the chaos blades they get more sharper and the end part of the blades (not the handle) get longer and sharper. The pommel (I think is what it’s called) also looks cooler the more you upgrade it.

[@samuraistar]

Go big again; how about a trick weapon from the Bloodborne game? Doesn’t matter which, I’d love to see any one of them made

[@FabWorks80]

Nice!! What was your Sculpfun settings for cutting the foam?

[@ludonymous526]

Say what you will about the film, but this prop is a killer one.

[@drewchristensen6705]

Hey ODIN I love your channel and how you make your props. Do you think you can build the Crystal Fusion Canister from Lightyear? That would be so awesome! I love this video and I hope to see more

[@blakester3043]

Would I be correct in assuming that this prop would not pass most con weapon inspections due to the working trigger?

[@M.O.creamy0669]

Hey Odin! Can you make more props from doctor who like the 10th doctors sonic or the vortex manipulator?

[@bread64]

I think an interesting prop to do would probably be the Titan Saber from power rangers mystic Force I just love to see that

[@novaofthestars4727]

It's known as the "Laser Blade".

[@HarryNich08]

You should build something from the new Overwatch hero- the junker Queen. She has a very inter gauntlet and Axe as well as a knife

[@acroman125]

Great build! Side question, how do you like the Ryobi crafter tools? Been looking into the soldering iron, rotary tool, and magnifying light. Just wasn't sure how well they work. Any info is appreciate👍🏽

[@PsychedSimon]

Hey odin, you should try and makr the sword from Gorr the God Butcher can be from the movie or comics Your videos are great !!

[@goldenboy82]

How about the Emperor Zurg Three Barrel Arm Cannon.

[@jaydensmith8477]

Maybe can you making any weapons or gadgets from the 2016 video game film “Ratchet & Clank “and hoping that it will be so awesome .

[@gizward_gmr5681]

pulse = chainsaw full = solid blade chainsaw like when you shake a garden hose

[@agartificialgaming1670]

Hey Odin , Can u pls make THE BATMAN 2022 MASK..

[@superlurf]

Another make for me to enjoy. P.S PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE! remember the dislike button is ONLY! for among us streams.

[@AngelHernandez-dz9jd]

Would love to see the ghost trap or the pke meter from ghostbusters

[@worldsgreatestbladers8879]

From marvel you can choose any version you want

[@jesserivera5991]

Will we see the return of Bumble Scorpion??????

[@dr.diamond9868]

You should make The Darkhold from The Multiverse Of Maddess/WandaVision

[@racspartan1]

👍

[@dungeon_mast3r208]

Is there a way to make this without a laser cutter?

[@raymondpatterson8833]

Looks great! Goes really well with the Lego saber, both are awesome. What brand/kind is the led strip? It can’t be 12v. And what brand is the power pack? cuz I’ve been looking for an 18650 that’s 5v and not 3.7v.

[@jasonjulian1]

All 18650 cells are 3.7v nominal. 4.2v peak. It's the attached circuit that boosts it to 5.0v. And they do make 5v led strings.

[@jaygee7508]

Alternate title: Odin Makes a Tiny Lightsaber

[@worldsgreatestbladers8879]

Hahahahahaha I just suggested he make the juggernaut suit and helmet

[@unknown-qi7lj]

Hay Odin im just asking what is your favorite weapon you ever build

[@yamiyugi1232]

did you notice the texture left by the paint and plastidip

[@xecronius]

Can you make a Saradomin Godsword from Oldschool RuneScape?

[@johnmoore2344]

Just finished watched Obi-Wan and after watching this has me thinking. How would Odin make his version of a light saber? If he has made one already?

[@davidkeen4972]

He has just not on this channel many moon ago
