Product Description

The vivid imagination of conceptual artist Ralph McQuarrie brought to life the characters and worlds envisioned by George Lucas. McQuarrie’s paintings and drawings were instrumental in the push to bring Lucas’ saga to the big screen, giving shape and form to a multitude of fantastic individuals, creatures, planets and technology encompassed in this epic tale. Developed in collaboration with McQuarrie himself, this remarkable action figure series pays tribute to the man whose art defined some of the most memorable characters in film history. Inspired by his Alaskan malamute, George Lucas created one of the most enduring and well-loved non-human characters of his saga. Constructed from knitted mohair and yak fur, Chewbacca was given life by the actor Peter Mayhew and voice by a wide array of animals, from walruses to black bears.

5.0 Star Wars Basic Figure McQuarrie Series Chewbacca

I like the idea behind it. It 's so rare that we see nothing of concept art by Ralph McQuarrie for the original Star Wars. These figures are a great representation of what might have been. I must say I like this version better than Chewie who appeared in the film. He freaky ears and boots. The same figure is very agile and has great detail. The only drawback is that sometimes it is difficult to put the gun in his hand. Otherwise, a wonderful Wookie.

The classic duel comes alive! Combined bases measure 16 1/2-inches long. Limited edition of 2,000 pieces. Talk about action! This piece fairly exudes it! From concept to collectible, beginning life as a humble production painting, this remarkable statue takes Star Wars conceptual artist Ralph McQuarrie’s work into the third dimension! It’s based on an early concept drawing of Darth Vader fighting Deak Starkiller, a character who would eventually be replaced by Luke Skywalker. As a tribute to the 30th anniversary of Episode IV: A New Hope, McQuarrie’s lightsaber duel between Luke Skywalker and Lord Vader is fully realized in this 3-D vinyl kit. The artisans of Kotobukiya have faithfully reproduced McQuarrie’s every detail, from Vader’s samurai-inspired mask to Luke’s unseen-on-film breathing apparatus. The 2 figures can be displayed together or separately. Darth Vader stands 11-inches tall and the combined bases measure 16 1/2-inches long. Limited edition of 2,000 pieces. Minor assembly required.
Customer Review: If You’re a Fan of Ralph McQuarrie & Star Wars, this is a must have
Ralph McQuarrie is well known for his early concept art that served as the “model” for the Star Wars universe that so many fans around the world loved. From paper to 3D this set from Kotobukiya is a must have. Although this scene never occurred in Episode IV, the duel between Darth Vader and Luke Starkiller are brought to life in vivid color and in their signature poses as shown in McQuarrie’s artwork. The only thing that would have made this spectacular is if the lightsabers actually lit up and if it was signed by Ralph. The “mechanized” look of Vader’s helmet is very detailed as is Luke’s breathing apparatus. Vader’s helmet was “softened” for the movie and there was no breathing apparatus used by Luke. If you are a true fan, you must have everything McQuarrie, you must have this piece. It is pricey but you won’t be disappointed.

STAR WARS 3.75″ BASIC FIG MCQUARRIE SERIES BOBA FETT

41eFPgJ4gvL STAR WARS 3.75 BASIC FIG MCQUARRIE SERIES BOBA FETT STAR WARS 3.75″ BASIC FIG MCQUARRIE SERIES BOBA FETT Set in 3 scale, the McQuarrie Boba Fett owes to a concept influenced by early Darth Vader designs. Described as having Mandalorian super commando armor, this version of the Boba Fett features a blaster pistol and a gauntlet-mounted flamethrower. His helmet is slightly more detailed but less sinister than the definitive Boba Fett, the armor looking more similar to that of a Stormtrooper. An exacting, code-driven predator, Fett played heavily on the fringe of the SW storyline. Though Fett was just a sprat during the Clone Wars, he would eventually inherit both his Mandalorian armor and the Slave-1 from Jango Fett. Among the supplemental storylines, there were wide-ranging scenarios involving Fett after his reemergence from the digestive soup of the Sarlacc. Over the course of intertwining stories, Fett outmaneuvered IG-88 and trumped and humiliated Bossk a number of times.
Customer Review: Pale Fett
Boba Fett as envisioned by McQuarrie. It’s a fine look into the history of Star Wars and creates a lot of “what-if’s” along the way. He comes with an alternate helmet,a hidden gun in his belly – must be a real thin guy, a pistol with stock that fits into an over-sized holster on his right side, a flamethrower with detacheable flame, and of course, the 30th Anniversary Star Wars coin.
