Tuesday 14th November is the day when the new Rancor Concept Maquette Replica – Signature and Legacy Editions arrive from the wizards at Regal Robot, and not only does it bring us a visceral and finely crafted close look at this magnificent beast, but it also comes in a Signature Edition signed by the legendary Phil Tippett.
The latest addition to our Archive Collection is the Rancor™ Concept Maquette Replica. The classic creature from Star Wars: Return of the Jedi™ is part of our Star Wars™ Archive Collection, a continuation and expansion of our work creating authentic replicas with impeccable lineage.
Along with a Signature Edition of just 150 pieces, each of which comes with a plaque hand-signed by creature sculptor, Phil Tippett… we’re also offering a very special Phil Tippett Legacy Edition which goes beyond a signature edition to provide each owner with a truly unique work-of-art.’
Limited to just 100 pieces, each hand-painted maquette in this unprecedented Legacy Edition will include a premium expanded plaque including a one-of-a-kind Rancor scene sketch, each one dreamed-up and hand-drawn by legendary creature creator Phil Tippett!
This maquette was the first step in designing the classic Rancor creature. With hands-on access to the original film artifact and high resolution 3D scanning, our team crafted a faithful recreation of the concept maquette for this fan-favorite beast from Star Wars: Return of the Jedi™.
At approximately 10.75” tall (including the wood display base), each is cast in heavy resin. 100% made in the U.S.A., every replica in this edition is meticulously hand painted by the artists in our New York studio, making each a unique tribute to the artistry involved behind the scenes of our favorite films!
Do not miss this extraordinary opportunity to bring home not just an authentic replica, scanned from the original artifact, but also an original work of art with a direct connection to the artists that inspire us!
The Signature Edition is priced at $1299 and the Legacy Edition $1699. Both editions will be available to order on 11/14/23 at Noon EST.
StarWars.com also caught up with Phil to discuss this incredible piece, and you can read more from Phil in our Vintage Interview from almost 20 years ago.
