Sometimes that's using high resolution digital scanning and other technology to capture something that's maybe too fragile or too complicated to mold. Sometimes that's using a mold that was from the production that made the real prop. For us, it was all about out giving people things that were as authentic as possible and the best way to do that, a lot of times, is through lineage. We have worked either for movies or commercials or TV shows, or have spent our lives restoring priceless Star Wars artifacts and other artifacts. It was a chance for us to explore and play around in the areas where we grew up, so to speak. We think of this as an expansion and a continuation of what we started doing when we shifted from decor and furniture into replica work at the beginning of 2019. Tom Spina: You know, unites is a really good word. How does the Archive Collection unite some of the work Regal Robot is doing under one umbrella? : You’ve made so many gorgeous replicas over the years, including the 1:1 Salacious B. Recently, sat down with Regal Robot founder Tom Spina to talk about what the Archive Collection has in store for collectors, and why the Red Ball Jett concept maquette is the perfect first entry in the new line of collectibles. A limited numbered-edition run of 250 pieces of the concept maquette replica without the plaque will go on sale to the public in June. Today, is excited to give you your first look at the new maquette replica, created by Regal Robot and launching the brand’s Archive Collection.Īvailable first to market at Star Wars Celebration Anaheim 2022 later this month, Regal Robot’s Rebo concept maquette will be offered in a special limited release of 83 pieces, a nod to the release date of Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, including a signed plaque from creature designer Phil Tippet. ![]() ![]() Soon, Max Rebo fans can get their hands on a scaled replica of a definitive piece of Star Wars history - a recreation of the original Red Ball Jett concept maquette that gave Rebo’s instrument its name and clearly settled any question over the character’s intended physique. Even before bopping his way back on-screen in The Book of Boba Fett - where many were relieved to learn the Rebo had survived Jabba’s sail barge - there was something hypnotic about the blue-skinned bandleader, the subject of much fascination and debate after the character’s first action figure incorrectly added two lower leg-like appendages to his anatomy. The elephantine Ortolan musician Max Rebo and his eponymous band make up some the most recognizable aliens in the original Star Wars trilogy. Starting at Star Wars Celebration, a cheeky new Max Rebo concept art replica statue will be available from the brand’s new line of archival reproductions.
