Regal Robot’s WAMPA PROP REPLICA, the latest in their incredible Archive Collection will be available to order starting at Noon EST today! Learn more and order yours here: https://regalrobot.com/custom-star-wars-busts-statues/
During the making of Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back™ some shots of the Wampa were made with a costumed actor, however, the dramatic first close-ups of the creature when it attacks Luke on his Tauntaun were actually achieved with a puppet crafted by legendary creature maker, Phil Tippett!
Offered in two EXTREMELY LIMITED editions, the new resin and mixed media bust is a faithful recreation of that that puppet. Layered in details, Regal Robot’s amazing artists brought this to life using a highly detailed laser scan and extensive, hands-on research of the original prop artifact used in the film.
Don’t miss your chance to bring home a piece of the archive with this unique prop replica!
Adam Savage received one and shared his thoughts in a video on his YouTube channel. Check out the level of detail the Regal Robot team put into this replica. You can see all the way inside his mouth!

Along with a Signature Edition of just 125 pieces, each of which comes with a plaque hand-signed by Tippett…the company is also offering a very special Legacy Edition which goes beyond a signature edition to provide each owner with a truly unique work-of-art.
Limited to just 100 pieces, each replica in the Legacy Edition will include a premium expanded plaque including a one-of-a-kind Wampa scene sketch hand-drawn by Tippett!
At approximately 13” tall x 19.25” wide (including the oak wood display base), each Wampa replica is 100% made in the U.S.A. Each resin replica in this edition is meticulously hand assembled and hand painted by the artists in Regal’s New York studio, making each a unique tribute to the artistry involved behind the scenes of our favorite films! They’re further enhanced with hand-applied fur, hand-laid hair, custom glass eyes, and the same fur treatment used in the film’s production to simulate ice.
The Signature Edition will be priced at $2499 and the Legacy Edition $2999. Both editions will be available to order at RegalRobot.com/starwars on 2/20/24 at Noon EST.
