Star Wars Model Kit Updates – BB-8 and TIE Fighter

Posted on November 17, 2015 at 9:18 am by Joe Moore under Star Wars Toy News

Bandai has released new images and info for some upcoming Star Wars: The Force Awakens Model Kits. We have our fist look at the TIE Fighter 1/72 Scale Model Kit. The kit will include two TIE Fighter Pilots (one seated, one standing), laser effects, a removable canopy, decals and a display base. It will stand about 4.4″ tall.

Also, they have released images and info for the R2-D2 and BB-8 1/12 Scale 2-Pack. The BB-8 figure, when assembled, will actually roll! BB-8 will stand at 2.2″ tall and R2-D2 will stand at 3.6″ tall. They will include multiple tools, display stand and decals.

Both releases are priced at 2,592 Yen (about $21 USD) with a release scheduled for December. You can see all of the new images after the jump.

    Does anyone know if the R2-D2 model is prepainted? There's no way my painting skills could match those prototype pics.

    So these are, in fact, unassembled (but pre-painted) model kits that turn into fully articulated figures. A friend of mine shared these pics of the newer Stormtrooper release.

    So it's like Gundam model kits for Star Wars.

    It's fine if you build it as is, but if you want it to look like what's shown on the box, there'll be puttying, sanding and painting. (I can see the big huge gap down the thighs and legs of Vader and StormTrooper's armors.)

    This has actually made me want to start collecting these figures. Not a huge Hasbro Black Series fan, and their Star Wars 3 3/4 scale figures are OK, but I am a bigger fan of their 3 3/4 vehicles than I am the figures. With that said, the Bandai figures and vehicles are looking really good to me... expensive, but this AT-AT is so cool, and the rest of the figures seem to be pretty nice.

    Dalong.net has posted a pictorial breakdown of the electronic 1/48 X-wing kit. I like how they showed a completed build with paint and stickers/decals along with a stock(no paint) build at the very end.

    A breakdown of the runners, sections and scans of the manual can be found here:

    Looks like an awesome kit to display on a desk. Love the sound it makes when the S-foils switch positions!

    Won't have a proper USA release. Stores like BBTS will import them though. They have it up for pre-order now at $30 plus shipping:

    Star Wars 1/12 Scale Model Kit - Sandtrooper - Star Wars Model Kits Bandai Models

    They'll be shipped to BBTS upon release in Japan, and then they'll go out to customer soon after that.
