Product Description
This very special Klaatu Concept Maquette Replica – Ken Ralston Legacy Edition goes beyond a signature edition to provide each owner with a truly unique work-of-art.
Limited to just 83 pieces, each hand-painted maquette in this special Legacy Edition will include a premium expanded plaque including a full-color, one-of-a-kind sketch, each one dreamed-up and hand-drawn by legendary ILM visual effects supervisor, Ken Ralston.
The included 3 5/8” wide sketch comes beautifully matted within an 5”x7” frame that also houses a hand-numbered metal nameplate, hand-signed by Raslston. That frame can either stand on a table top or hang on a wall.
Ralston was part of the team that did concept work for the ILM creature shop on Star Wars: Return of the Jedi. As part of that work, he sculpted the maquette for the Klaatu alien character.
This maquette was the first step in designing the “Klatooinian” creatures that would show up in the palace, sail barge and skiffs of Jabba the Hutt™. With hands-on access to the original film artifact and high resolution 3D scanning, our team crafted a faithful recreation of the concept maquette for this iconic alien from the movie.
At approximately 7” tall (including the wood display base), each is cast in solid polyurethane resin. 100% made in the U.S.A., every replica in this edition 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! The maquettes are hand packed in a gloss black box with die-cut foam insert and COA, and double-boxed for shipping.
