STOCK STATUS: Pre-Sold-Out
EDITION SIZE: 40
This very special Yuzzum Early Concept Maquette Replica – Dual Signature Legacy Edition is part of our Star Wars Archive Collection, a continuation and expansion of our work creating authentic replicas with impeccable lineage.
With hands-on access to the original film artifact and high resolution 3D scanning, our team has crafted a faithful recreation of this concept of the fan-favorite alien from Star Wars: Return of the Jedi™. That original maquette is marked “Rodis/Elkins.” During pre-production of the film, Nilo Rodis-Jamero did the original sketches of the character and Judy Elkins sculpted the maquette.
This extremely limited Legacy Edition of just 40 pieces goes beyond a signature edition to provide each owner with a truly unique work-of-art. Each hand-painted maquette in this edition will include a premium expanded plaque including a one-of-a-kind illustration of the creature, hand-drawn by concept designer, Nilo Rodis-Jamero. The included 3 5/8” wide sketch comes beautifully matted within an 5”x7” frame that also houses a hand-numbered metal nameplate, hand-signed for this DUAL SIGNATURE EDITION by Rodis and Elkins. That frame can either stand on a table top or hang on a wall.
Yuzzum is one of the largest Return of the Jedi maquettes, at approximately 11 1/8″ tall (including the wood display base). Each resin maquette is 100% made in the U.S.A. and features customized faux fur from the same source used by the creature makers back in 1983. Every replica in this edition is meticulously hand painted by the artists in our New York studio, making each a unique tribute to the artistry involved behind the scenes of our favorite films!
Vintage production polaroids show the maquette originally featured a kit-bashed blaster rifle. Later 1983 images show Yuzzum empty handed and he remains that way today in the prop archives. Using vintage photos, the original model parts used in crafting that blaster have been discovered and our team referenced those when digitally recreating the blaster for this edition. Each Yuzzum Maquette Replica comes with a resin blaster and small magnets help the maquette hold it in the proper position to match those vintage photos.
The maquettes are hand packed in a gloss black box with die-cut foam insert and COA, and double-boxed for shipping.
Do not miss this extraordinary opportunity to bring home not just an authentic replica, scanned from the original artifact, but also an original work of art with a direct connection to the artists that inspire us!
