#1 Post by DinoMike »

For those that missed the news, these were announced by Jamie Hood at Wonderfest:

1/350 USS Grissom
1/48 Space:1999 Hawk
1/72 Razor Crest. No prototype shown
Repop of the AMT AT-AT with revisions to make all 4 legs posable
Repop of AMT Darth Vader's TIE with new improved parts, including removing the ridiculous landing gear
Repop of AMT Slave 1 (Now called Boba Fett's Starfighter at the insistence of Lucasfilm/Disney), no changes
Repop of MPC Millennium Falcon with corrected sidewalls and radar dish
Showed off the 1/1 scale Space:1999 Stun Gun & Commlock, lighting-friendly kits. No lighting kit planned.
Interior planned for the Galileo Shuttle. Set to be available as an interior-only set for those that already have the model, as well as included with future releases. No prototype shown.
1/25 Batman Forever Batmobile.

Here's the announcement video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RtVCaiwE7mA

Thanks for the video. My mouth watered over the hint at a 1/350 USS Reliant! Plus glad to hear about the Galileo interior too. The 1/350 USS Grissum is another great one. Dang I wish I wasn't so old...

I did see alot Star wars models at wonderfest..
some were original ones and various reissues...
So this road Polar Lights takes.. nothing I want..
Hopefully .. Atlantis and Monarch keep there releases up to date.

The Grissom and the Razor Crest are both excellent choices. The Grissom will be a smaller tool than a Reliant and will help them gauge continuing interest in these larger scale Star Trek kits before they commit to tooling up the Reliant. It also did well in the polling they did a few years back. That's a sound decision. The Mandalorian was a huge hit and it makes sense to invest in the Razor Crest as the first all new tool. Granted it was blown to bits (spoilers!) but they may not have known that at the time the decision was made to tool that up. I still want one and from what I've seen the Bandi tiny kit is doing very well. Correcting the Falcon kit is also a great decision. It still won't be Bandai or FineMolds quality or accuracy but it also won't cost a month's worth of rent to buy the darn thing. Not everyone has that type of mad money.

CultTVMan just recently posted a pic of the Razorcrest prototype. Says it'll be 1:72 and 15"

Also says it'll be ready for late this year, but may "slip to '22."
