The Beatles: Yellow Submarine Studio Scale Model (Pre-Order)
1968’s The Beatles: Yellow Submarine is a feature-length musical fantasy comedy adventure, acclaimed by critics and audiences alike. More than half a century later, its titular image remains a pop-culture icon.
Over 200 artists worked tirelessly to create the art used to achieve the film's surreal style. True to its pop-art aesthetic, creativity and innovation were encouraged. Unlike a modern animated production where model sheets and style guides are rigorously adhered too, the artists were encouraged to embrace the surreal and the avant-garde and to both literally and metaphorically ‘color outside the lines.’
No physical models were ever created for the production. To celebrate the 55th anniversary of the film, as well as the beloved Beatles song on which it's based, Factory Entertainment wanted to honor this psychedelic icon by realizing it as a real-world, studio scale model.
Officially licensed and approved by Apple Corps, each studio scale model is an impressive 27 inches long (68.5cm). The main body is crafted from fiberglass and polyresin, plastic and diecast metal are used for the fittings. The conning tower section is removable, revealing a detailed interior inspired both by real-world naval architecture and the submarine interior scenes seen in the film.
Each Yellow Submarine Studio Scale model comes with:
A limited edition numbered plaque
Display cradle
Certificate of authenticity
Product Dimensions & Weight (Inches / Pounds)
Length 27"
Width 14"
Height 11"
Weight 12.4 lbs

Most sixth scale figures come double-boxed automatically when purchased through Secret Compass! Most other dealers will slap a label right on the cardboard shipper and ship that way with no protection. Secret Compass recognizes the value in your collectible figure and we always double-box the cardboard shipper, which comes fresh out of a master case so it shows no sign of shipping before it ships to you.
Because this item still in production, we do not know the final weight or dimensions, or even how many boxes there will be. Therefore, we cannot give you an accurate quote for shipping. Actual shipping rates will be determined when the item is in stock, and will be reflected on your final invoice.
