Wow, that looks almost certainly 1:1 to the screen-used prop . . . or is it?

Whaaat?!

I was gonna ask "which store???" but looks like gift shop at Galaxy's Edge.

I need one, regardless!

Curious to know if the stand is real brass or plastic

Curious to know if the stand is real brass or plastic

Even if it's plastic (which I think it is) it looks good

A quick review posted online (not mine):

Looks real good...for $40

Any idea where to get it for $40 online? Everywhere I'm seeing is $65-80

It’s currently only being sold for $40 in the parks.

Yeah I saw, shame those prices get inflated by over double online. Still might be worth it though hmm

Picked one up. thought id share close up pics

 

[jusdrewit]

Can someone who's knowledgeable on the t-16, comment how accurate that is? For $40 it looks pretty good!

Picked one of these up and answered my own question…the stand does appear to be metal.

My overall impressions?

It’s nice for the price walking out the door at Disney Parks but it is certainly very “toy-like” (visible screws, some parts made of rubber for child safety, visible seams, soft details) and won’t scratch the itch like, say, the Jason Eaton kit available at Masterpiece Models (which I’ll be salvaging the metal stand from this Skyhopper for).

But, as an in-universe toy, it fits that bill nicely.

For those of us with some painting skills, how nice would it look with a complete repaint, some weathering, washes, or even upgrades etc? Less toy like?

Definitely—it has the bones to be improved upon, for certain, just as you describe.

Jason Eaton’s studio scale decals, which includes the Skyhopper decals, are available here (if you are looking at doing a full repaint):

Comparison video of Replica VS GE Version.

It's $40 as a in-park exclusive (cannot buy elsewhere). You still have to cover admission costs, travel costs, food, hotel, etc. it's still cheaper to pick one up for $60-$80 on ebay then to go to the park

I saw it at the Star Wars store in Downtown Disney...no need for park admission to go there!
