My last post for 2015 is an interesting one. Beast Kingdom are releasing this “Egg Attack” floating Millennium Falcon. It uses electromagnetic attraction and repulsion to created the floating effect and I believe that this will be the first Millennium Falcon model to do so.
No details on pricing or availability, but the features include lighting on the model as well as on the levitation base, which has been styled to look like Echo Base from The Empire Strikes Back. The model itself is approximately 5.5 inches in length.
The detailing looks pretty good, although the oversize rectenna and docking ports clearly make it a toy. Still, I think it’s interesting and will probably pick two up so that I can display it.
The estimated release date is June 2016 and it will retail for approximately 4990 Japanese Yen.
Thanks to Dis Kingdom for the heads up.
as well as the Falcon, they also showcased a pretty neat X-Wing at this years SDCC.
That retail price seems rather low for such a function. A website that I like going to (Hobby Link Japan) has reasonable pricing on a similar item: Egg Attack’s floating Iron Man MkII

As you can see, it has the same cartoony aesthetic but a more substantial price.
Agreed. I’ll be picking one up, regardless of price. This is way too cool to miss out on.
have seen it recently in Hong Kong together with the Delorean. Both made a good impession though I don’t like the Falcon’s design. The Delorean on the other side was awesome!
It might be noted, that the model might spin or wobble a little bit
I know what you mean about the Falcon’s design. It makes it look like a toy and I don’t think that it should be. I think it’ll make a good talking point when displayed.
