Just a quick update with pics, I'll do a proper write up when it's done. Just an FYI to those curious, there are 3 distinct staffs you can see from the production and promos photos and video. I decided to make this version closest to the staff seen on display in the trailer. also a amateur video of the downtown scene made me realize all versions are flat and not "trident" like.
The final back armor section is missing because I dropped it coming in from getting painted outside, had to strip it and repaint to cover the scuffs. Didn't want it stopping putting the rest of this together for a test fit!
mostly assembled, still need to attach some parts and run the wires and switches.
the staff will eventually have two light sources, currently the luxeon 3 watt LED is the only one hooked up right now and holy crap it's bright. SLR photography will get a wicked lens flair from it. There will be a cluster of basic blue LEDs in there too for a constant long running blue light.
still need to paint the screw heads
Shown here disassembled, it breaks down to roughly 36"

WOW!
That is a really nice replica, I found the site through a Google Search for 'Loki Staff'.
I'm really looking forward to seeing the film on the 26th in IMAX 3D!

hi! I was wondering if you were planning to make any of these to sell and if not, if you could give me an idea of how you achieve your let source set up. I could probably figure out something to make one myself, but minus the electronic nonsense (im no good with that stuff). Id love to speak with you about purchasing one though. Thanks.

If you watch the new Avengers film you will get a brilliant close-up of the staff during one particular scene in the film.

This is pretty straight forward wiring, a Luxeon blue LED and a 9v battery. Ambient light is done with a cluster of 3 blue 5mm LEDs in series visit led calculator on google to get a wiring diagram for beginners.
