Master Replicas New Products

Shadow Trooper Helmet Replica
For much of the Galactic Civil War, a mysterious agent of the evil Sith Lord Emperor Palpatine, code-named "Blackhole," carefully gathered intelligence data for the Galactic Empire. Blackhole had an impressive arsenal of weapons available to him, including a Star Destroyer, the signature vessel of the Imperial Starfleet. The Stormtroopers under Blackhole's command were known as Shadow Stormtroopers. Their armor was cast in black stygian-triprismatic polymer which had increased sensor-stealth capabilities, allowing them to move about the galaxy undetected.

By the end of the Galactic Civil War, Blackhole had disappeared and his Shadow Stormtroopers were absorbed by the Imperial Forces. Some found their way to Carnor Jax's private army.

Crafted from quality materials, and using reference materials from the Lucasfilm Archives, Master Replicas is proud to offer this Replica of the Shadow Stormtrooper Helmet, exclusively for members of the 2007 Master Replicas Collectors Society. The Shadow Stormtrooper Helmet Limited Edition is limited to 500 pieces!

Since we expect another fast sell out - it is limited to 500 pieces, after all - we have added a third server, in support of our website, to accommodate the anticipated rush of CS members, coming to buy the Helmet! Don't miss your chance to add this beautiful helmet replica to your collection this week!!!

$499 apiece
Collectors Society Preorder Date: June 20, 2007 (9:00am PST)

Featured Artist Craig Burt-Painting by Numbers 30

Featured Artist Craig Burt has provided us with a breakdown of one of his paintings that provides us with a look into how the picture came about.

2Palpatine's Plain progressive.jpg (182048 bytes)
"Palpatine's Plain"

Here is some of the article created by Craig:

This, Papatine's Plain, I think, is the second of these Star Wars paintings when starting on this painting binge. The first was another version of this, that being the first painting I'd tried in years and was terrible; it was badly painted and I'd even forgot how to mix colors. So that means Naboo Booboo was actually the first scene painted in this series and in fact the third painting I'd tried in however many years. 

Be sure to read the rest of the article about "Palpatine's Plain" in the Painting by Numbers section. Thanks Craig for another great walkthrough of how this image came about! Enjoy!
