Besides lightsabers and Jedi, the other big draw of Star Wars is the huge number of vehicles that the characters have at their disposal. Virtually every character has their own signature vehicle. And let’s not forget the number of space dogfights we have, especially against the Empire’s fleet.
The Titanium Series Diecast Vehicles Multipack puts together some of the most recognisable vehicles in the series in one handy four-pack. There’s no Star Destroyer here, but you’d probably want a whole fleet of Imperial starships if you were looking for that, wouldn’t you?
The set comes with four diecast metal vehicles: a pair of X-Wings belonging to Biggs Darklighter and Poe Dameron, the Millennium Falcon, and a TIE Fighter. No word on whether this is Darth Vader’s TIE Fighter, but you can always make it so in your personal canon!
The pack comes with four flight stands, which are perfect for displaying your ships. Otherwise you’d have to leave them on the ground, and they wouldn’t be much of a ship or starfighter if they were grounded.
They’re all very detailed, with virtually every possible part of the sculpt painted, including the dirt and grit you’d expect.
There’s a small black hole at the bottom of each vehicle, for you to affix to the stand. It’s mostly in a small, unobtrusive area, so it doesn’t affect the look of the vehicle overall.
The X-Wings can, of course, open up into their X configuration, or fold down into a regular starfighter look. It’s your call how you want to display them!
The cockpits of the X-Wings also open up to reveal the pilot seats. The vehicles themselves don’t come up with pilots, but if you can find such figures to scale, they will fit very nicely into the X-Wings.
Just like the X-Wings, the TIE Fighter can also open up to reveal the cockpit. Unfortunately, the serial number is right under the cockpit’s door, so you might need to paint over the serial number if you intend to leave this part open. The wings are also slightly adjustable if you’re inclined to do so, but be warned that they’re difficult to balance if you move one of them.
The Millennium Falcon doesn’t really have any moving parts besides the antenna shield and central cannon, but its the heaviest and most sturdy of the diecast metal vehicles. It’s a very detailed sculpt, which is to be expected since this is the largest (in the movies) of the four vehicles. The antenna shield is quite tight, so be careful when turning it around.
You can’t really angle the vehicles too much when displaying them, so they’re mostly set flying in a straight line. So they can’t be taking off or landing, for example.
The good news is that they’re all flying around the same height, so you can stage aerial battles if you want to. Of course you want to. That’s the whole point of getting this set, isn’t it?
They look good from almost every angle, so you really don’t have to worry about which part is facing front if you place them on your desk.
Yep, their exhausts are detailed too, which is a very nice touch on vehicles so small.
The Titanium Series Diecast Vehicles Multipacks retails for SGD $39.90, making them an affordable but classy Christmas gift for any of your Star Wars fan friends. Or yourself, if you’re looking to give yourself a treat for the holidays. They’re a great way to add a personal touch to your workstation without taking up too much space.
