Yee-hoo Rebelscum! Regal Robot is proving once again that they are here for the fans. The previously version of the Ree-Yees Concept maquette was released as a signature edition, featuring an autograph plate signed by creature designer Chris Walas. Now Regal Robot has made the move to allow more fans to acquire this piece in a new, limited numbered edition. Find out more details below:
On April 23rd at 12 Noon EST fans will have a chance to order this new, limited Numbered Edition Ree-Yees Concept Maquette Replica. The original Signature Edition of this maquette sold out in just a few hours. Regal fans and collectors quickly filled a long waitlist for the character. With this being a rare instance of a maquette replica with only a single edition, many fans requested we add a Numbered Edition as we’ve done with Max Rebo, Weequay and others.
In response to that customer demand, we’ve created this extremely limited new numbered edition of just 100 pieces.
This maquette was the first step in designing the Ree-Yees character for the film. Like the other pieces in our Star Wars™ Archive Collection, this classic creature from Star Wars: Return of the Jedi™ was developed with hands-on access to the original film artifact and high resolution 3D scanning.
Each maquette in this edition was made in our New York studio from solid resin and expertly hand painted by our FX artists with beautifully multi-layered paint, making each a unique tribute to the artistry involved behind the scenes of our favorite films!
Do not miss this extraordinary opportunity to bring home one of our most requested replicas, scanned from the original artifact!
DON’T MISS OUT – This Limited Numbered Edition is priced at $399 and will be available to order on 4/23/24 at Noon EST. Payment plans available!

For the more curious, here's an extended version of that conversation, about 30 minutes of Chris’ wonderful stories about working at ILM and his thoughts on each of the creatures he designed for Return of the Jedi:
