unmade action fleet
« on: November 01, 2009, 09:54:21 PM »
this thread is for any knowledge on unproduced but planned action fleet models.

For example:

I know for a fact that the blue mcquarrie concept A-wing was a planned variant which was built in prototype but never produced:


btw I'm using that image as a reference for my own repaint version of the a-wing. I want to stay pretty close to that production image...


I also have found in my research on action fleet that the following ships were planned on being made and even promoted on some online stores, but never produced:
  A-Wing Starfighter (blue)
                 Death Star II, The

                 Homing Spider Droid

                 Imperial Star Destroyer

                 Jedi Starfighter

                 Mon Calamari Cruiser

                 Podracer, Boles Roor's

                 Podracer, Neva Kee's

                 Speeder, Anakin Skywalker's


                 Speeder, Zam Wesell's


if anyone can find images of the other ships there I'd appreciate it.

Any more information about unproduced action fleet vehicles post it in here.

this is the only image i've found of the mon-cal cruiser, jedi fighter and blue a-wing.  Apparently they were planned as the last wave of the series...



they were listed on entertainment earth but this is the automated message on the listing:

I loved the blue A-wing I painted my own in 3 3/4 inch it was a great vehicle, I think they should bring back action fleet and end the transformers crossovers.

I would have loved to have the Death Star II, that looks awesome.

lol I always thought the death star 2 was the worst of the unmade designs! it's so horribly out of scale with the other action fleet ships!

Yea true, I did notice that. But the thought of having an action fleet Death Star seemed pretty cool. Besides that, I would have also picked up the blue A-Wing, ISD and mon-cal cruiser.

Some of the protos are in the hands of people I know like Sicqnus, huge AF fans. He has Anakin's yellow speeder and 2 Homing spder Droids:

No kidding? How did he manage to get those prototypes? And do you know him personally? I always loved his site, and its no longer up and running, wondered what happened to it.

I know Cyril, he was really into Action Fleet and MM, loved these lines like no one else. He even had articles published in French magazines:



As for what happened and why the site is no longer I don't know. I wrote him a Christmas greeting card like i always did for years and last year came Return to sender  ???
