eFX Prop Replica STAR WARS IMPERIAL TIE FIGHTER #144 of 657 (BRAND NEW UNOPENED) For Sale

EFX STAR WARS A NEW HOPE STUDIO SCALE TIE FIGHTER #144 out of 657 (BRAND NEW) UNOPENEDIn order to make the most accurate replica of this iconic ship, a number of different reference resources were used. More than 90% of the model kit parts that were used on the original model were identified. A digital scan of a TIE model in the Lucasfilm archives was used to map the parts and verify the dimensions, and scratch build the model kit parts that either could not be found or identified. An original TIE Fighter that is known to have been used in the filming of Star Wars: Episode IV: A New Hope was used to match the correct colors. Deploying throughout the galaxy from the hangars of the Galactic Empire\'s awesome fleet of Star Destroyers and the dreaded Death Star, are the standard starfighters of the Imperial arsenal, the Thermal Ion Engine crafts, known as the TIE Fighters. These small, one-man, short range ships are fast and maneuverable, but lacked a hyperdrive and thus had to be deployed from hangars and launch bases. They had two fire-linked laser cannons, mounted on the ball shaped cockpit. Industrial Light and Magic\'s (ILM) Colin Cantwell created the concept model with the iconic ball shaped cockpit and hexagonal wings. The combat scenes were meant to be reminiscent of World War II dogfight footage, and the film editors used actual World War II air combat footage for the filming of the special effects. Our new TIE Fighter FX Model will be a \"most impressive\" addition to your Star Wars collection. It is also the perfect \"companion\" to our X-wing starfighter, Red 5, to re-enact the exciting Death Star trench run in the climactic Battle of Yavin.Product InformationManufacturer: eFX CollectiblesCollection: Studio ScaleSource: Star Wars: A New HopeYear: 2012First Revealed: 2009 San Diego Comic-ConPre-order Date: October 2010Ship Date: November 2012Item Number: 01122002Original Retail: $999Edition Size: 657 piecesIncluded In The Box:Screen Accurate Imperial TIE FighterDisplay Stand (Base, Rod, (1) Unique Screw, Washer)Hex WrenchCR2032 BatteryIndividually Numbered PlateNumbered Plate Display StandCertificate Of AuthenticityHistorical Pamphlet in EnvelopeInstructions PamphletRegistration FormeFX Sticker SheetProduct Measurements & Weight:Complete model with base: 18 1/16\" High x 14 1/2\" WideBase: 17 1/16\" x 18 1/16\"Total displayed product weight: 17 pounds, 4 ounces*Please Note that the images in this listing are not the actual product and are used to show what the product is.
