This $175  definition of insanity is many zeros out of lion pay grade, but it's a must have for anyone who owns a starship incense burner.  The printed version would be higher fidelity & have a removable $10 lighter.  The 50 cent lighters lions have been using for 23 years are truly terrible.

The mane challenge is exposing the ignition switch.  Butane torches all have a sliding switch.  A dab of hot snot might do the job but the lighter has to be removable.  They're now $9 & 20 butane refills are $8.  Storing butane in the apartment does not appeal.  A plasma lighter would be cheaper but not have raptor appeal.  This one might succumb to a plasma lighter being so much more practical.

The mane problem is unlike the starship incense burner & the starlink router replica, the form has no purpose.  It's purely artistic.
