Blade Runner 2049 spinner kits or toys??

[cirrusx1]

Im hopeful that Mobius or perhaps Hot Toys will produce offerings from the movie. I know NECA holds the license and their offerings are good, they don’t produce model kits or vehicle and figure toys of the caliber or scale that I’m interested in. Anyone have any news on the potential of other companies getting in on the action? Attached is the movie maquette which is a great start!

Cinemachines Diecast and ABS 2049 Spinner replicas- two different sizes

Thanks. Yes, I knew about these but they don’t scratch the itch. Too small imo.

I am also looking for a bigger kit of the Peugeot 2049 car (fracking Peugeot as they even sell cars in the US, they wanted to use the BMW i8 for the film but my boss thought the movie would be to dystopian for our „BMW“ image so he rejected the request)

I ordered a Resin kit of the original 1/10 Spinner from Randy Cooper some weeks back and asked him if he will build a version of the 2049 Spinner, he confirmed my order but said nothing about if he will make a kit of the 2049 one.

I got the bigger size Diecast but only for my desk at work, the quality and paint job is not that good I must say.

I bought the big one too and started to alter it. I painstakingly opened up the windows and I’m attempting to build an interior and windows for it. I’m repairing the crash damage on the right front as I don’t want mine to have that post-junkyard, crashed look. Here are some photos of my progress.

I don't care that much for this new Spinner- IMO the Syd Mead original looked much more futuristic. If there is a styrene kit of the 2049 Spinner offered though I will get it for completeness.

There are at least 3 other new spinners too. I kind of like the newer model police spinner that arrests K after he visits Dekard's daughter the first time.

This one?



there's Luv's Spinner too, which is also pretty cool



I hope some kits do become available. Hopefully it won't take as long as it did for the kits for the original movie..

Definitely would like a model kit of the henchmen spinners. The one that comes in through the window. Looks like a futuristic Cadillac or Lincoln Town Car. Best looking of the new batch.

All three of the above Spinners look much better than the 'Hero' one.

Just got this 8" 3D print from a guy in the UK. Gonna mod it and give it a new paintjob.

 

[Muttleysdad]

I too bought one of the 3D printed ones the 100mm one to go with the two special edition ones that came with the Blue Rays. I chose unpainted and painted it myself.

It didn't come to too bad.


I also bought the Cine machines 3 inch (closer to 2 inch) and the 6 inch. The 6 Inch I'm still wondering what to do with. ( I like the post earlier where the windows have been removed - I might try this).
The two inch has just had a repaint as I wasn't at all happy with their paint job.

Great job so far! how did you cut it? what did you use? I stumbled upon this video on YouTube, the guy obviously knows how to bring it to life!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P1UFoFqL8uc

I like that one too!! it has too little screen time for my taste, loved that look:

Dynamic Digital Creations is doing a 1/17 model kit. It is currently in the CAD stage and ready for production as a resin kit towards the end of the year.

Yeah!1 I saw it last week, it looks really cool! can't wait for it to come out!

That Spinner is a nice design but it looks more primitive than Syd Mead's original design.

Which one? the police car from the new movie or the resin Kit they are putting together from concept art?

 

[Richard Baker]

IMO the Police Spinner from the film looks like it could be an a more industrial evolution of the classic Mead Spinner, the concept art version looks like a cruder predecessor.
One element that stands out to me is the Mead Spinner has elegant compound curves in both glass and bodywork. Both the concept recreation and the Peugeot edition K uses have slab sided, faceted designs which sadly to me just scream 'budget movie car'.
Compound curves are expensive to produce and require more sophisticated production facilities- that is one reason I feel the Mead Spinner looked like it was a vehicle from a 'real' future. Designs like this are often too expensive to produce on a film/TV budget, hence the wonderfully advanced Type 7 Shuttlecraft from TNG was replaced by a slab sided Shuttle pod when they finally had to build a set prop for the show.

I do like faceted designs, but after seeing the Mead Spinner I would anticipate the newer model would be even more streamlined and curved, not blocky.

gotcha!! thank you for your answer. K's spinner does look more "industrial", and now that you mention it, I always thought that Mead's Spinner was a flying car that was more on the "air-vehicle" side of things than car, with it's compound curves that reminded me more of fighter jet cockpits than the windshield of cars. K's Spinner is a car, that Peugeot owes more of its lines to a Lambo than to Mead's spinner, and it's external shape is much more "clean cut" as you say. What I mean is that there's another police spinner in that movie, shown briefly:


This new car is a direct succesor of Mead's Spinner, it has a mix of the compound curves and the clean cut sides, and I would love to have it as a kit as well. I also expected K's spinner to be even more streamlined.....but.....
