## Thorn Miniature Replica

 — Shin Malphur

The **Bungie Rewards Thorn Miniature Replica** is a downscaled replica of Thorn within the Bungie Rewards program made to commemorate the weapon's reprisal in *Destiny 2*. It was listed on the Bungie Store on March 19, 2019, soon after the "An Independent Study" Exotic quest became available in *Destiny 2*. The replica was slated to ship in late summer 2019. As a Bungie Rewards exclusive offer, it could not be purchased without a unique discount code earned by completing activities or Triumphs in *Destiny 2*. With a discount code, the replica was priced at $54.99 USD.

The replica was produced by Level52 Studios in collaboration with Bungie. It depicts the Exotic Hand Cannon Thorn in a miniature format, 1:3 scale. It is made of polystone and acrylic, and its dimensions without its display stand are 5.5"L x 0.9"W x 2.3"H (14cm L x 2.3cm W x 5.85cm H). The display stand is black in color and includes a clear holder that fits under the replica's barrel. The stand fits the replica with magnets for stability purposes, however the replica is easily removeable if desired. Also included with the replica is a small 6.3125"W x 4.1875"H collectible card displaying a blueprint-style graphic of Thorn on one side, and a quote from Shin Malphur regarding the weapon on the other side.

## Scale

The Thorn replica is not listed as being in any specific scale. And while the previous replicas in the line, the Ace of Spades and Luna's Howl replicas, were described as being 1:4 scale, the Helm of Saint-14 miniature replica was described as being 1:3 scale. Furthermore, the Helm of Saint-14 replica was stated as being in the same scale as previous Level52 Studios Bungie Rewards replicas, which suggests that previous replicas are 1:3 scale, rather than 1:4 scale.

## Packaging

The replica arrives in a 7.875"L x 4.75"W x 3.75"H covered box. The black cover encases the box, and displays Bungie Rewards branding, as well as the title of the replica and its SKU ID, which is BGA16069100. Upon lifting the cover away, the blue box is revealed. It features a description of the Bungie Rewards program, also thanking the reader for playing the game and earning the item. Inside is found the aforementioned collectible card, under which is a foam rectangle layer 5/16th inches in thickness. Upon removing which the replica and its stand are presented, both wrapped in plastic and nested into fitted foam cutouts.
