Countdown

This signature edition Nien Nunb™ bust maquette replica is part of our Star Wars™ Archive Collection, a continuation and expansion of our work creating authentic replicas with impeccable lineage. Nunb is known as a hero of the Rebellion and co-pilot to Lando Calrissian™ during the attack on the second Death Star™.

With hands-on access to the original film artifact and high resolution 3D scanning, our team crafted a faithful recreation of the Dave Carson-sculpted concept maquette for this fan-favorite alien character from Star Wars: Return of the Jedi™. This maquette was the first step in designing the classic character.

100% made in the U.S.A., every replica in this edition is meticulously hand painted by the artists in our New York studio, in the multi-layered style of the original. This makes each a unique tribute to the artistry involved behind the scenes of our favorite films!

Each statue in this limited edition includes a special “40th Anniversary Edition” gold-toned metal plaque and is hand packed in a gloss black box with die-cut foam insert and COA. The plaques for the signature edition were hand-signed by the original sculptor, FX artist, Dave Carson.
