ORDER TODAY! Gamorrean Fighter™ Maquette Replica from The Mandalorian™
Months ago, the first teaser we got of Season 2 of The Mandalorian was an image shared on John Favreau’s Instagram of a gladiatorial-styled Gamorrean.
Now, Regal Robot is offering a replica of that Gamorrean Fighter™ Concept Maquette, developed with direct lineage to that very sculpt shown on the producer’s social media. A full gallery of photos just went live and orders start today at 1pm PT (4pm EST).
The highly authentic maquettes are over 12” tall, cast in resin and fully made and hand painted in the USA. Only 250 pieces will be made and each will come with a hand numbered, elegant metal plaque.
“I absolutely love that we get to explore the making-of our favorite films and share replicas of the artwork used in developing these amazing characters and creatures. This new Gamorrean sculpture is right at home alongside our Jabba the Hutt™ Concept Maquette Replica and our Tauntaun™ Maquette Replica. When the sneak peek image of this sculpture was posted, I immediately wanted to know more! I loved seeing a new take on an old fan-favorite alien. I’m so proud that we’re now able to offer a faithful replica of that very sculpture!” – Tom Spina (Regal Robot founder).

Regal Robot SNEAK PEEK – Jabba the Hutt Concept Maquette Replica
Via Regal Robot:
Today we’re sharing a SNEAK PEEK at the second creation in our Maquette Collection… our Jabba the Hutt Concept Maquette Replica! It’s a limited, numbered edition based on Phil Tippett’s original concept sculpture used to bring the infamous character to life in Star Wars: Return of the Jedi™. After examining the original maquette among the artifacts from the film, our replica was painstakingly digitally recreated from extensive photographs and measurements.
Cast in heavy, solid polyurethane resin and made in the USA, each Jabba the Hutt Replica will be hand painted, making each a unique tribute to the artistry involved behind the scenes of our favorite films.
“Much like our Tauntaun™ Maquette Replica, this particular sculpture caught my eye in early behind the scenes documentaries and later in books showcasing the archive of props and costumes used in creating my favorite films.
I feel so fortunate that our team now gets to examine the original props from the films up close as part of our process making unique replicas for fans. The original concept maquette has this wonderfully self-satisfied look… his hands clasped, his head back, everything about him speaks to his attitude and power on Tatooine™ and the galaxy. We worked to faithfully capture every nuance and detail of that original sculpture, but above-all, we wanted to maintain and represent the feel and attitude within.” – Tom Spina (Regal Robot founder).
This edition will be available to order on August 24th starting at 12pm Eastern.
Full details and photos will be posted on our site that day, so keep an eye here and join our email newsletter to be alerted when that goes live and be in the know for this and all of our upcoming releases.

I’m also thrilled that legendary sculptor Brian Muir, who sculpted CZ-3’s head for the films, has graciously agreed to sign the plaques for our Signature Edition of this replica bust! Brian’s work on countless films, creating sculptures large and small, is an inspiration to fans, creators and makers everywhere. In addition to CZ-3, Muir had a literal hand in the realization of iconic and enduring characters such as Darth Vader™, RA-7™ (aka Death Star Droid™), the armor worn by the Imperial Stormtroopers™ and even played a part in developing C-3PO™. Brian joined me for a chat about his work on Star Wars, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did! – Tom Spina (Regal Robot Founder)
Regal Robot – During production, you sculpted heads for CZ-3 and the Death Star Droid and Darth Vader’s helmet. What order did you do those and how long did that work take?
Brian Muir – I sculpted CZ-3 after Darth Vader and then lastly the Death Star Droid. Each sculpt took 4 days approximately.
Regal Robot – Were they sculpted in clay? Do you do any revising in plaster or go right to mold and cast?
Brian Muir – Yes all the heads were sculpted in clay. I did sharpening at the plaster stage of Darth Vader, the Stormtrooper™ armour and C-3PO™. But the clay sculpt for C-Z3 and the Death Star Droid were moulded and cast in fibre glass.
Regal Robot – Where did the concept for CZ-3’s look come from?
Brian Muir – I was given a basic sketch for CZ-3 by one of the film’s concept artists.
Regal Robot – Were you given any feedback or direction during the sculpture process? Did you enjoy the process?
Brian Muir – I was left to my own devices for the character. I did enjoy sculpting the Death Star Droid head and C-Z3 as well.
Regal Robot – You had a hand in crafting some iconic looks. Even the characters who didn’t get as much screentime all have a level of popularity among fans. What do you attribute that to?
Brian Muir – The fact that they are unique and although we don’t get to know their characters we’re still curious about them.
Regal Robot – How does it feel being a part of the creation of characters so many fans remember so fondly?
Brian Muir – I can only say that I am always pleased to hear from fans how they really like those characters. I’m immensely proud to have been involved in their creation and that they will with us for the unforeseeable future.
Regal Robot – We’d like to express our great thanks to Brian Muir for taking the time to sit down with us and chat, for his inspiring work and for being a part of one of our signature edition collectible creations!

“As a fan of the making of our favorite films, I feel very fortunate that we had the chance to get hands-on and up-close with that original prop costume in our work to bring this replica to life. Our team spent hours examining, photographing and measuring the droid costume worn in the original trilogy and used high-detail laser scanning to capture every detail of the suit. Using that scan, we have faithfully reproduced the wonderfully organic asymmetry in the costume’s mask, originally sculpted by legendary film sculptor Brian Muir, and a bit of the bib area and collar to help turn this into a great overall character display. We took great lengths to maintain the integrity of the scan and vintage details to create the ultimate replica of this droid. Gordon Tarpley handled that digital task beautifully and I personally distressed the paint masters for these editions. Mr. Muir has graciously signed the plaques for the signature edition and our New York team is now preparing to produce this super limited run and hand paint each piece, capturing that classic Star Wars look and feel with layers of aging and weathering.” – Tom Spina (Regal Robot founder)
We’ll be sharing more photos and full details next Monday, July 6th, 2020. Please check back then and follow us on social where we’re @regalrobot for more sneak peeks this week!
