Other Master Replicas News
Mini news:
There will be a Qui Gon mini this year on the line. In our photos it’s on the top of the triple saber display on the right (shown on E2 Anakin base).
Mini blasters:
MR has continued to produce outstanding scaled prop replicas. As you can see from the photos, unless you’re holding the blaster in the palm of your hand, the detail would make you think that it is much bigger. The blaster will follow the saber tradition of a mixture of metal and plastic but will continue to have the detail and weight we’ve seen in the scaled replica line. In answer to the long running question, YES there will be chase props for the mini blasters. Here’s the major news– not only will 5% of the run be gold finished, 2.5% will be black chromed!
Studio Scale Models:
The detailing on the Y-wing is unbelieveable. The R2 shown at ToyFair will be replcaed with an R5 to be movie accurrate.
The Falcon is coming. That’s right, MR is planning on bringing a studio scale Milennium Falcon to us. Look at the details of the sculpting process they unveiled at Toy Fair. This prop will be quite simply HUGE. The Y-wing is big, but the Falcon is even bigger. Travis from Master Replicas was kind enough to hold up a silouhette for the studio scale falcon to show it’s size. The cutout is the length and width of the Falcon!
MR will definitely be releasing the Poker set this year, and it’s going to be even better than we expected. The chips themselves will not the the “standard” poker chips with ships/logos we’ve seen, instead they will be metal (standard chip weight 13 grams) with a sculpted relief image in the middle. Oh, and the case will be a replica of Han in Carbonite.
