The new limited-edition Goa’uld Death Glider replica from Quantum Mechanix is now available and shipping . Similar in size to the first craft in Quantum Mechanix’s Stargate SG-1 series, the F-302 Strategic Fighter/Interceptor, the wingspan of the Death Glider is about 8 inches, with a detailed resin base featuring a miniature Stargate, DHD, and stone circle. The Death Glider itself matches the designs and CGI files used for the show, featuring highly detailed carvings on the wings and body, plus two armored Jaffa pilots in the cockpit. This collector-scale replica is limited to just 1,500 pieces, each individually-numbered, and retails for about $100.
Available from Quantum Mechanix and other retailers. Retail price $99.95.
LEGO and Star Wars. What could be better? How about the newest LEGO set, Anakin’s Y-Wing fighter! The Y-Wing from the original movie trilogy is one of my favorite rebel ships, and it’s exciting to see what the early Republic version looked like from the Clone Wars series.
