Sci-Fi Titaniums

[DarthKayso]

Any fans here of the early 00s TV series Farscape or Andromeda? I'd love to see some of the ships from those shows in die cast form; particularly the Andromeda Ascendant:

I don't think either property had much merch released; just short lived action figure lines. No spaceships.

Funny that Andromeda should be mentioned. My wife bought 2 shapeway models for Christmas and painted them for me. Andromeda Ascendant and Ha'tak Mothership. Both are around the 3-4 inch scale. Yes both can use extra paint details. I'm just overly ecstatic i can add these to my collection finally

 

[BlockadeRunner]

Somebody did a real high end version of Moya from Farscape, but Moya and her son, Talon, are the only ships that I really remember standing out from that series.

I'd love to see Moya, Talon, the Peacekeeper cruiser and fighter, and of course John Crichton's Farscape One, the show's namesake!

I liked the first season of Andromeda, but it fell apart quickly after that. I did like the ship design. There is a seller (3Dimageshop) on Etsy who makes 3D printed version of the Andromeda and other spacecraft. I've thought about buying one of his B5 or Blackhole models.

Thanks for the tip about the Etsy vendor; that Andromeda looks great! I'll have to pick one up.

*I agree with you about the show's quality declining after the 1st season

 

[Rodders]

I watched it for the first time las year and I'm in total agreement. I struggled with it, a lot. I don't know what they were thinking in that last season.

 

[thedapperrobot]

Not ship related, but Eaglemoss has put up the Rick and Morty figurines for order. I wouldn't mind Rick's ship and maybe some of the alien ships, but I don't know if I'm going to go for the figures. I still enjoy the show, but it's kind of lost its luster.

For those of you in Texas, check your local HEB grocery for the latest Hot Wheels Land Shark, etc.

The Normandy SR-2 is a lovely design.

Very much like that Normandy and Battlecruiser, I just hope that the prices here in the UK are reasonable. Dark Horse do some quite nice ships but it wouldn't surprise me if they end up closer to £50 rather than the £35 they 'should' be.

Edit: Yep. Seems I'm right. £45 on the Blizzard EU store, with £5 postage. Only other one i can find is £60. Great.

 

[Darth_Windu_au]

Unfortunately the Normandy SR-2 paint job is still wrong, which is astonishing since they've had years to fix it. The grey on the ship is wayyyyy to light - here's a good comparison of the small model versus the larger deluxe model which has the correct colouring

 

[Darth_Duranium]

GaleForceNine are doing an APC from Aliens for their Alien game. From the specs, it's the same size as NECA's, an inch smaller than the old Action Fleet, two inches smaller than EM's. Oh, and $50 US.

[Darth_Duranium]

FYI: Looks like the X-men X-jet (blackbird) is coming to the HW mainline (Screen Time) later this year, yay! Hopefully, there'll be a deluxe version in the Entertainment line, too.
I'm chuffed and hope it's this design, from the first films, though no pics have been shown yet.

[boris_2]

The MCU Quinjet Mk.2 could do with an outing too imo

 

[Rodders]

I always thought the fighters from Stealth were a great design.



Firefox as well, for that matter.

EM's just shown the Eagle One Transporter from their upcoming Space: 1999 starships and vehicles line, and it's due in July.
It's ~250 mm/10 inches long and costs $79.95/€69.99/£59.99. Pics from Space.com:

[Rodders]

I wonder how this compares to the Sixteen12 line of Eagles?

 

[boris_2]

Twice the size I think, but doesnt look quite as detailed as the Product Enterprise version from 2005. Whether the Sixteen 12's will be that detailed, I can't tell from the images I've seen Rodders

 

[Darth_Duranium]

Think that Sixteen 12 are doing the 5.5-inch set (as my learned colleague Boris mentioned), 12-inch Eagles (same as Product Enterprise) in various permutations, and a ginormous bespoke 44-inch Eagle.

From these pics, I'm thinking that EM's looks somewhat less sharply detailed than 16/12's but then again, it's quite a bit less expensive. A 12-inch 16/12 diecast Eagle with another ship/vehicle usually costs ~$320, versus ~$160 for two of these.

As usual, I'm hoping against hope that EM does this stuff in 5-inch scale, but I'm ain't holding my breath, must say.
So I'll be glad to get 3 of the small 16/12 Eagles, they've been a long time comin'.

 

[saddestmoon]

Picked up the HWs Entertainment Top Gun F-14 Tomcat today!



Above image not mine, BTW (just for reference).

it’s a good version also - although I think I still prefer the Skybusters version Matchbox produced.

Hallmark's doing the Tardis in October.

[thedapperrobot]

The first Space:1999 Eagle variant from Eaglemoss looks to be the Booster Pod. From Bigbadtoystore.com:

 

[thedapperrobot]

Found the MOTU Battle Ram at Target this weekend. Very nice, but the plastic circular piece (screw cover?) doesn't match the blue color of the rest of the vehicle. I wonder if a World's Smallest He-Man can ride it. I wasn't going to buy those World's Small figures, but now I might to go along with these.

 

[Darth_Duranium]

I'm soooo bummed EM's Space 1999 stuff is so yuge, so glad 16/12 are doing small stuff!

Zut alors! After releasing these 3 test issues (plus the ISD) last autumn, Altaya (DeAgostini brand) is releasing a new SW starships partwork in France!
These are larger than the earlier DA ships, ~15 cm/6" versus ~10 cm/4" (which is not a good thing for me!) and have stands rather than diorama boxes, obviously. Oh, and note it's a TFA Falcon in the test and a pic of the OT one on the site.

Many thanks to Darkmatt for helping to dig up more info about these.

2020 test issues:

No word on availability outside of France just yet but I'd LOVE a Starkiller Base. And I hope they suss out how to do a better DS2 than last time!

 

[Unreality]

Hmmm. The AT-AT looks like the exact same image as the old DA one, but I'm guessing that's just a placeholder. Like you, I'd rather they be Titanium-sized, but I'll still pick up a few.

 

[Rodders]

nice find. Gonna have to pick me up both Millennium Falcons. I’ll keep my eye out for a Solo Falcon as well.

The encyclopaedia looks like it builds up quite nicely.

 

[StraightEdgeLuke]

I am quite excited for this new line. They def. deserve their own thread, so maybe a mod can transform your posting to a unique thread dealing with this line? I was just about to start one, as I missed your posting hiding in this "Scifi"-thread.

As many line from Altaya / DeAgostini are released in more countries within Europe, I am confident that this one will be available in Germany next year.

 

[SithPrime]

Much like with DeAgostini I am just going to cherry pick ships that have never been released before.

I have no use for another (times however many I already have of a ship) Falcon, X-wing, etc. etc.

Definitely would want the DS2 and Starkiller, and of course it is great to have another line available.

Now the question is how to get them in Canada, and what the price will be as well.

 

[Rodders]

Be nice to see Eaglemoss pick this up. I'm hoping for some new ships in addition to the old favourites.

I'd love to see the Stinger Mantis from Jedi: Fallen Order or perhaps some of the ships from TOR.

Guys, I started a thread dealing with this line, in order to give it more exposure. Head over there, and take your postings with you.

 

[Rodders]

Done and Done.

 

[squidgey]

So excited by these!

From what I can work out from google translate, if you subsicribe you Reys speeder free with your 10th shipment, possibly Lukes Landspeeder as a subscriber gift, and if you pay extra per month for a premium subscription, you either get or get the chance to order the Death Star II and Starkiller Base.
You get some Ralph McQuarrie prints too

 

[Darth_Duranium]

Done and Done.

Also done and done.

First render of the X-Jet from the mainline HW Screen Time series, first spotted by our Boris, cheers, mate.
Not too surprised that it's not the version from the first films but I'd still be chuffed to get one of these for a buck and change. Expect we'll probably get a deluxe Entertainment version at some point, too.

[SithPrime]

Somehow this line has drawn me in over the years.

It started with the Milano from GOTG, and went from there. Now I have way more entertainment vehicles than I ever thought I would, especially the cheapie $1.50(CDN) ones here in the great white North.

That and stupid (ha) Batman and his rogues gallery of vehicles.

Either way, keep them coming HW, I'm addicted and I need my next fix.

Interesting that well get a Mario cart in the mainline which I assume will be sans Mario. I wonder if it will share parts with the premium releases or be a new casting all together. The Landspeeder ended up being a completely new casting compared to the HW Starships release.

 

[thedapperrobot]

BBTS has the next Eagle Variant - the laboratory pod - up with pics. My favorite so far. Hope they do the Hawk next.

I think Hot Wheels has a Batman casting of some sort in every case now. Not even exaggerating.

Yeah they definitely do include one every wave. I blame that for my inexplicable collection. Somehow over the years I have managed to accumulate more than 20 of the cheap Bat vehicles, in various colours.

Final packaged X-Jet for the mainline, good hunting.
