Limited to just 100 sets, this numbered edition Light Man and Bubble Head Concept Maquette Replica 2-pack is part of our Star Wars™ Archive Collection, a continuation and expansion of our work creating authentic replicas with impeccable lineage.
Concept maquettes have been used to craft the look of Star Wars™ since the first production in the saga. For Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, creature shop head, Phil Tippett leaned into the use of these small sculptures to develop the collection of creatures for Jabba the Hutt’s palace.
In our work researching and documenting these original artifacts, we’ve marveled at designs that never made it to the final film. We’ve long wanted to offer replicas of some of those imaginative designs and we’re excited to give collectors the chance to bring home two of those creatures with this incredibly unique and deep-cut pair of maquette replica aliens!
With hands-on access to the original film artifacts and high resolution 3D scanning, our team has crafted authentic recreations of the original concept sculptures for these two characters.
The Bubble Head concept was originally sculpted by the late Dan Howard, a foam fabricator who was a builder on many large creatures for the film. Light Man was sculpted by David Carson, known for his work sculpting many maquettes and creature masks for the movie. According to Carson, this was an early concept for a being of light that was to be seen wandering the halls of Jabba’s Palace. Special effects photography was shot on set with a stuntman wearing a dangerous light rig to create the background for those scenes, but they ultimately were unfinished and this design went unused.
At approximately 6″ (Bubble Head) and 8″ tall (Light Man) including the wood display bases, each solid resin maquette is 100% made in the U.S.A. and 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!
Each pair in this numbered edition includes two hand-numbered metal plaques and a COA. The maquettes are hand-packed in a gloss black box with die-cut foam insert, and double-boxed for shipping.

The Archive Collection - Recreating an Artifact
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.
This wonderful pair of designs were originally sculpted by Dan Howard(Bubble Head) and Dave Carson (Light Man). Howard was a foam fabrication specialist who helped bring to life creatures like Amanaman, Droopy McCool and many others. Carson crafted multiple maquettes and sculpted full size masks for many characters for the film.
