Bandai release schedule

[SixthScaleMan]

View attachment 1013716 There might be - fingers crossed, a larger Blockade Runner kit released by Bandai post Episode 9. I have a sneaky suspicion that a familiar Blockade Runner will be back judging by the sizzle reel for Episode 9 showing a blink or you’ll miss clip of (maybe) the Tantive IV...

Cool! Is there a link to the sizzle reel? I haven’t seen one on the ‘Tubes.[emoji846]

Hi, I am not sure if RPF will allow me send a link, but I will try ...

Hope it works!

Fantastic! Thanks very much.

Fantastic! Thanks very much.

You are very welcome my friend!

I'll just say it: That blockade runner exterior is way undersized.

I was thinking the same thing. That ship should be bigger right?

 

[robn1]

So it's no different than the Falcon, Galileo, Titanic and every other "full sized" ship set.

 

[Automaton]

It’s a practical set. They may well use forced perspective to make it look bigger on screen.

So, what you're saying is: It's bigger on the inside?

By... a lot? I mean, the Falcon and pretty much every other Star Wars ship has plenty of Tardis effect going on, but this full-size prop looks closer to the size that the original "pirate ship" should've been before they switched designs to for the Falcon. It couldn't even fit the Falcon's interior sets, let alone the blockade runner's.

I thought the same. Consider this may have been a partial set made at half scale and than FX may upscale this some more yet.

 

[Attirex]

Also had the same thought, but figured I was just being a Nerd lol.

 

[Richard Baker]

It does look about half the size it should be- careful camera angles and digital set extensions could make it better.
It also looks too narrow- that hammer head cockpit section should be much wider as well.

The Triple-Zero droid kit is now listed on the Bluefin site along with some sales/combo packs:

Star Wars Day - Bluefin Brands, Bandai Star Wars Model Kits

 

[Hunk a Junk]

That Triple-Zero droid could be repainted as an AOTC Threepio. So could the regular version, but it seems like a sin to strip off that nice gold plating.

Some unfortunate compositing inconsistency means that the corvette goes from being HUGE here

to being TINY here in front of the Nebulon-B frigate!

 

[Richard Baker]

I never noticed it being in front of the Nebulon-B before. I wonder if it was a mistake in compositing (which occurs several times in that battle) and it was intended to be behind instead?

 

[Jaitea]

Ha yeah,.....

[Automaton]

Maybe they scale it using the centrefold in the cockpit for reference?
