Star Wars - Prop Replica Holochess Character Statues by Regal Robot - The Toyark

If you’re a fan collecting high-end Star Wars items, then you’ll want to take a look at the newest pre-order from Regal Robot. They are offering detailed prop replicas of the characters seen in the Holochess game aboard the Millennium Falcon during Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope. The Holochess 1/1 Scale Prop Replica 2-Packs used the official 3D files created by Lucasfilm from the original puppets used in the film. Along with the 2-Packs, Regal Robot is offering a Deluxe Signature Edition Holochess 1/1 Scale Prop Replica Set. With the Signature Edition, you get fully hand painted versions of each statue, two exclusive “lost” pieces, and exclusive poses for two of the statues. The Signature Edition is limited to just 77 pieces.

As with most items from Regal Robot, these Holochess Prop Replicas are aimed exclusively at the high roller Star Wars collector. The individual 2-Packs are priced at $799 to $1,199 each, and the Deluxe Signature Edition is priced at $4,799. Read on for full details, and the new photos. Pre-orders are currently available from Regal Robot, or from Big Bad Toy Store.

Holochess Prop Replica Two-Creature Sets
Developed concurrently with our Deluxe Signature Edition Holochess Prop Replicas 10-piece Set, these numbered-edition two-creature sets offer collectors an additional way to bring some of those incredible replicas home.
Starting May 4th, collectors can use the drop down menu to order the following four two-creature sets:
Set 1 – The Body Slam – Mantellian Savrip™ & Kintan Strider™
Set 2 – Molator™ & Houjix™
Set 3 – Ghhhk™ & Monnok™
Set 4 – K’lor’slug™ & Ng’ok™
These limited edition sets include meticulously developed prop replicas of the original stop-motion puppets used in filming the Dejarik™ sequences in the Star Wars™ Saga. Each static resin replica holochess creature is hand-painted and 1:1 scale to the props, with lineage to those original puppets!
Our replicas were prototyped using the digital files that Phil Tippett’s team created in 2015, when they used 3D scanning and photogrammetry of original props used in Star Wars: A New Hope™ to accurately recreate the wildly imaginative creatures he and Jon Berg hand-sculpted in 1977.
Using these files, along with reference provided by Lucasfilm and never-before-seen photos which Phil had saved from 1977, our artists created incredibly detailed replicas, taking great care to maintain the integrity and lineage of each. We will craft every piece in this edition in the U.S.A..
