This Tusken Raider™ life-sized prop replica bust signature edition is part of our Star Wars™ Archive Collection, a continuation and expansion of our work creating authentic replicas with impeccable lineage.

With hands-on access to the original film mask and costume artifacts and high resolution 3D scanning, our team crafted a faithful recreation of the original character from the film, capturing the wonderful asymmetry throughout.

Using that technology, the cast polyurethane resin “mouth” area of our bust captures every fold and wrinkle of the original. Hand paint and staining creates the look of real leather.  The same scan allowed us to recreate the original prop mask’s metal parts in CNC machined aluminum for each bust.

Hand-dyed heavily distressed fabrics adorn the head and chest sections. Real leather bandoliers and resin neck breather are also hand-weathered, adding additional layers of detail to the display.

This special signature edition also includes a plaque hand-signed by the late Alan Fernandes, an elephant trainer who portrayed a Tusken Raider in the Bantha™ sequence of Star Wars: A New Hope™.

Each of the 150 pieces in this limited, signature edition will be made in the U.S.A. and hand finished by the FX artists in our New York studio.

The Archive Collection - Recreating an Artifact

“The Tusken Raiders endure. Decades after their introduction to the Star Wars mythos, they’ve been featured again and again in the various films and series. So much of that has to to do with the classic, mysterious-yet-menacing design. To be face-to-face with the original masks and costumes from the 1977 film was a moving experience. We spent an extraordinary amount of time with those artifacts. From measurements and color matching, to the high-tech wizardry of the 3D scanning, we used every tool we could to make our recreation as faithful as we could to the look and details of these iconic originals.” – Tom Spina (Regal Robot founder)

Research on this prop replica bust began several years ago, beginning with first-hand examination of the original masks and costumes from the film. From there, hunting for elements, including the closest possible match to the unique woven head wrap fabrics, a search that literally spanned the globe to find a weaver crafting fabric in the right look. We crafted numerous test dye lots that we then brought to the original prop masks to compare until we knew we had it right.

Every element of these busts is its own challenge and producing these busts for fans is something our years of experience as an FX studio has uniquely prepared us for. The aging of the fabrics, the machining of metal parts, the 3D digital work, making resin look like leather, and making new leather look like old leather… all came came together and we cant wait for fans to bring these home into their collections.

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.
