Mark Newbold talks with Regal Robot’s Tom Spina about their new Tauntaun Busts Concept Maquette Replicas.

Limited to just 100 sets, this signature edition set of four Tauntaun bust maquettes is part of their Star Wars Archive Collection, a continuation and expansion of their work creating authentic replicas with impeccable lineage.

With hands-on access to the original film artifacts and high resolution 3D scanning, their team crafted these faithful recreations of the Phil Tippett concept sculptures used in the process of bringing the Tauntaun beasts to life for Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. These incredibly unique creature sculptures were discovered among the original maquettes from the original trilogy film artifacts.

This set gives a glimpse into “what could’ve been” showing early ideas of what the Tauntaun may have looked like. Several of the wildly unique designs even include asymmetry, showing two different possible looks within a single sculpt.

The bust sizes range from 5″ to 6″ tall, including the wood display base. Each is cast in heavy polyurethane resin. 100% made in the U.S.A., every replica in this edition is hand painted with staining to accent the beautiful sculptural details, making each a unique tribute to the artistry involved behind the scenes of our favorite films!

Each set in this extremely limited edition includes a hand-numbered metal plaque signed by legendary FX artist, Phil Tippett, and is hand packed in a gloss white box with die-cut foam insert and COA.
