RAZOR CREST COCKPIT SERIES

What’s essential to you to balance those two needs - of the kid who wants to use this as a toy and the collector who wants to put it in a case?Ĭhris Reiff: That balance is hugely important. They’re so detailed yet you never sacrifice the potential for a kid to rip off the panels and create their own stories with their figures in the cockpit and the hold. : There’s tremendous playability and display-ability with these pieces. Now that we have the Razor Crest funded, we have a great centerpiece to build more offerings around. Can you talk about any of the Vintage Collection-scale figures and other playsets and vehicles that you’d like to see as add-ons to the Razor Crest?Ĭhris Reiff: While we can’t talk about what is currently in development, rest assured that we are all fans here and would love to fill out our own ships with the crew and creatures from the show. : The success of the Barge, which exceeded the goal by 75%, influenced a lot of the other Hasbro toys and figures we saw that year. I think we’ve done that legacy justice and delivered beyond expectations with our Razor Crest. I looked to that vehicle and its level of detail for a lot of guidance and inspiration. Mark Boudreaux and the team certainly set the bar pretty high for us with Jabba’s Sail Barge that was an intimidating project to follow. We knew we had to create the Razor Crest and doing it as a HasLab project let us work toward the large and detailed Vintage Collection piece we all wanted. How did you land on the Razor Crest as your second foray in Star Wars through the crowdfunding campaign this year?Ĭhris Reiff: Like the rest of the world, we all fell in love with the world of The Mandalorian upon seeing that first episode. : Fans turned up to #BacktheBarge in 2018 with your first HasLab project, Jabba’s Sail Barge. With just a few more days to go before the end of the campaign, sat down with Reiff to talk about his favorite details on the ship, his hopes for capturing the Mudhorn egg, and more.

Then came the added incentives, including a special scaled version of The Child and a row of carbonite-encased quarries as glimpsed in the series premiere episode of The Mandalorian. In just over a day, it was fully backed into production. The Vintage Collection Razor Crest, inspired by the title character’s starship from the Disney+ series The Mandalorian, was introduced earlier this year as the next HasLab exclusive, a crowdfunding program that previously brought Jabba’s Sail Barge floating onto our toy shelves. Only thing I would change are the eyes if I had more Lego printed eye parts, but these were the best thing I could find.Chris Reiff’s craft is all about the details.Īs an associate principal product designer for Hasbro, Reiff is following in the footsteps of the legendary toy designer Mark Boudreaux, who probably made the Millennium Falcon you coveted or crash landed as a kid, to bring the latest Hasbro vehicle to life.

Getting it to scale was the primary goal, and I think it fits in pretty well with minifigs. Really love their design, and I thought I'd make it in Lego form. Yeah, I know the Blurrgs were featured in TCW and Rebels, but seeing them in live-action was something else. I did the best I could with Baby Yoda lol, I thought the head from Lego's OG yoda would fit him best because the color's decently accurate, and the head doesn't have that gray hair print on the back.īlurrg: My absolute favorite 'thing' to come out of the Mandalorian. Cara Dune's the official Lego figure with no changes at all. The figures are pretty straight forward, Mando has Firestartoys arms and a Brickarms pistol, and rubber glovetops cut from a hose piece. Hoping to show more angles of this in future Mandalorian-related posts. The scale's kinda inspired by the mini Slave 1 from the Cloud City set, and the ship can seat the Mandalorian at the cockpit and Cara Dune and Baby Yoda at the back. I didn't want to make a huge Razorcrest because I knew I wouldn't have all the pieces, so I decided to scale it down a lot. Mini Razorcrest: Pretty happy with how this turned out.

Also, yellow background because the white background was too small to fit everything :/ From left to right: Couple of Lego Mandalorian-related figs and builds.
