It's Lume, But Not Like You've Seen It Before
The Bonehead concept is one of Arcanaut's premier novelties for 2023. This and the Tiger Sharc series are completely original, but take the Arcanaut mantra of discovery in different directions.
For the Bonehead, Arcanaut wanted to discover what would happen when they unleashed the Badger with a series of specially created electric blue-lume discs, a batch of aerospace-grade aluminium foam, and a big tub of industrial resin (the cloudy sort — our favourite flavour).
The result was so exciting that the first time James ran into Rob and Anders with a prototype in his possession, he dragged them both into the nearest men's room, locked the door, cut the lights, and presented his piece. Cue a chorus of adoring coos, showering the glowing disc with glory. Needless to say, passers-by were...perturbed.
The case is unique amongst Arcanauts in that it has received a special "framing" finish, that shows off the outlines of their recognisable ARC II case silhouette. The contrasting polished and blasted surfaces are protected with a scratch-resistant coating so the case stays fresh for longer.
Experimental Collection
Sometimes Aranaut has some pretty crazy ideas that take a long time to bring to life. They've decided to pursue these ambitious projects under the "Experimental" heading, because, truth be told, we're not entirely sure what we're going to discover in the process.
Lead times are long (around nine months for Experimental projects) but the buy-in is low (just 10% of the retail price is required to secure your place on the list).
Everything in the Arcanaut Experimental Collection is produced in very small batches. For our inaugural Experimental releases, they've decided to make 33 pieces of both models. This enables Arcanaut to plan our production timeline more efficiently and free up more time for creativity.
