Ishi Tib™ Concept Maquette Replica – Chris Walas Legacy Edition

$699.00

Available

This very special Ishi Tib™ Concept Maquette Replica – Chris Walas Legacy Edition goes beyond a signature edition to provide each owner with a truly unique work-of-art. It’s part of our Star Wars™ Archive Collection, a continuation and expansion of our work creating authentic replicas with impeccable lineage. 

Limited to just 83 pieces, each hand-painted maquette in this special Legacy Edition will include a premium expanded plaque including a one-of- a-kind sketch, each one dreamed-up and hand-drawn by legendary, Academy Award winning creature creator Chris Walas!

The included 3 5/8” wide sketch comes beautifully matted within an 5”x7” frame that also houses a hand-numbered metal nameplate, hand-signed by Walas. That frame can either stand on a table top or hang on a wall. 

This maquette was the first step in designing the Ishi Tib alien species. 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 classic creature from Star Wars: Return of the Jedi™. 

At approximately 6” tall (including the wood display base), each is cast in solid 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! The maquettes are hand packed in a gloss black box with die-cut foam insert and COA, and double-boxed for shipping.

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!

Ishi Tib Star Wars alien bust statue

The Archive Collection - Recreating an Artifact

“Ishi Tib aliens can be spotted in Star Wars: Return of the Jedi lurking in Jabba the Hutt’s palace and in the background of the Rebel Briefing scene, as well as throughout the Prequel trilogy.

Called “Starfish” during production, this particular design was originally sculpted by Academy Award winning monster-maker, Chris Walas, who called the design his favorite from his work on the film. We’ve been fortunate to work with Chris on several sold-out editions in the past and we’re thrilled that he created 83 completely unique drawings for this Ishi Tib replica so that every collector that brings one of this edition into their homes has something absolutely original and extraordinary. 

We’re all so proud of this special Legacy Edition, and I can’t wait to see it in the collections of discerning prop and statue fans and Star Wars collectors!”

– Tom Spina (Regal Robot founder)

During the production of films, the creature effects team will often dream up new and fantastic aliens and beasts by creating small scaled sculptures, called “maquettes,” to showcase their ideas. From this menagerie of maquettes, the film’s director and producer choose which characters will be brought to life for the film as costumes or puppets and what roles they will play in the story.

Sculpted by creature-maker, Chris Walas, this unique design was chosen to become the alien eventually called, Ishi Tib, a species that would be seen in both Return of the Jedi and many future Star Wars projects!

We are excited to share this new Archive Collection and look forward to sharing our latest art and characters with you. Be sure to follow @RegalRobot on social media to keep up with all of the new collectibles we have in the works.
