Master Replicas has just announced two new Stargate-inspired models, both available to pre-order now: the first brand new, the second a classic that they’ve given an upgrade.

| Asuran Cruiser from Stargate Atlantis |
The new ship is the Asuran Cruiser from Stargate Atlantis. This powerful ship was operated by the Pegasus Galaxy’s version of the Replicators. We never found out for sure, but it looks like an Ancient ship since it was loaded with drones, had energy weapons and could cloak itself.
“This ship is a sign of our commitment to Stargate and shows that we will go deep!” say Master Replicas.
The model is 8.5 inches (22 cm) long and is packed with detail and available to preorder here.

| X-303 class Prometheus |
The upgraded ship is the X-303 class Prometheus, the first interstellar battleship developed by Earth. It was based on reverse-engineered Goa'uld technology and was later updated with Asgardian equipment to help it fight the Replicators. It played a vital role in defeating the System Lords. It was eventually destroyed by an Ori satellite.
The new model is 7 inches (18 cm) long.
The Eaglemoss version has been sold out for ages and Master Replicas say they have have been keen to bring it back, but this was one of the last ships Eaglemoss produced, and the company felt it wasn’t really up to their normal standards.
Rather than reissue something Master Replicas weren’t happy with, they’ve gone back in to increase the weight and to improve the level of detail in the painting. The original version will never be produced again, meaning it should now be considered limited edition and is likely to become a collector’s item.
From the advance photos, the new version looks much better. Check it out here.
“If you bought the Eaglemoss model from us, we’ll be sending you something extra to help out if you want to make the upgrade,” say Master Replicas.
