No way I'm paying $80 for something the size of a coffee mug.
If you need one, let me know.

The first 20 are available now in the store. First come, first serve! I'm excited to get these into the hands of people. They will ship mid September 2026.

PREORDER: Space Quest III Aluminum Mallard – Lighted, Articulated Vehicle Playset - Etsy

THANK YOU so much to this community for all of the support and for the preorders that you guys have grabbed already. Means the world to me.

Guys, get excited! Printing finished prototype this weekend!

I'm back from all my summer traveling and nailing down all the final nuts and bolts of this project. There will be some very minor/hard to notice changes made after the prototype is printed - usually just adjusting the tightness of moving parts, etc. The look and feel is final and I think you will love this toy when it's ready.

Some photos below. I will send more photos to the subscribers of the newsletter this afternoon, so be sure to add your name if you have not already.

Space Quest fans unite!

First of all, let me thank the mods and admins of this reddit for allowing me to post here and to connect with the SQ community. Having this toy has been a dream of mine for a long time, but I needed a critical mass of supporters to bring it to life.

I'm back from Japan and I've been working solidly on the toy and the prototype is 95% done!

• The Landing Gear / Engine mechanism is perfected.
• The lighting and electronics are worked out.
• Interior details are coming together and so is the assembly plan for production.
• All that remains are some captain's chairs, a few decals and the removable roof/dorsal hatch!
• The 3 action figures: Roger Wilco and Mark & Scott (two guys from Andromeda) are also in the works and their joints (articulation) is being worked right now. (This is the only part of the project I sub out to other artists as figures are not really my wheelhouse)

On track for September delivery!

If you have not signed up for the newsletter please do it here. Newsletter subscribers get first dibs on the toy and a discounted price at launch.

Huge thanks to all of the people who have signed up for the mailing list for this toy. I am on track to deliver the first 50 in September! Still time to sign up for the newsletter here.

Latest Progress highlights

- Mechanism for simultaneously raising landing gear / moving engines is working beautifully. Feels very nice. This was the most challenging feature of the toy and it is done - all downhill from here.

- Working on lighting now

- Figures for Roger Wilco and the Two Guys From Andromeda (Mark & Scott) are sculpted and are now being articulated (adding joints).m Figures are 63mm (~2.5" high) each.

- Working on custom collector box for the toy and/or figures. Stay tuned.

Hi all - thanks for the huge support for this project!

I've been working on the initial mockup. It's a rough shell I use to see how dimensions work and 'feel' in hand. The yellow robot figure shows the scale of the planned Roger Wilco + Andromeda Guys figs which will be 2.5" (63mm) tall.

I'm working out the moving parts now, tackling the issue of two moving engines that are separated by a hollow hull between them as well as sliding landing gear inserts that cannot collide with those parts. It's challenging but fun.

I've sent out two newsletters to anyone who signed up here. If you aren't getting them in your email, check your junk/spam and then DM me if you still don't see it. Still plenty of time to add your name to the interested list. Send to any friends you know who may want one!

Planned release is September 2026.

Been working on this a while and finally got it done and ready to produce. What a labor of love. Working on the pop-up cannons was a lot of fun and learned a lot from the original model. Made the cockpit extra-roomy because who knows how big that Deep Six fig will be!

Hi All - I've been working on a Classified version of the SHARC under my GreeblerElf brand. Wanted to show off the finished product. This was a blast to work on - especially figuring out the cannons mechanism and some other fun bits. I've been wanting to make this for over a year but life kept getting in the way.

Hi all. I'm a custom toy designer best known for my Star Wars and Space Balls action figure vehicle playsets. For a long time, I've wanted to create a Space Quest III Aluminum Mallard vehicle playset with movable parts, lights, and interior etc.

These things take a lot of hours to design and prototype, so before doing that, I wanted to see if there was enough community interest to make this worthwhile.

See images of my Space Balls Eagle 5 below to get a sense of what this toy would be like. I envision a ~14" spaceship with removable top, fold-down ramp and landing gear and engines with flickering lights etc.

If you would be interested in this project, please tell me here. If I got 25 seriously interested people, I'd go ahead and design it and bring it to market. Target for the finished toy for this community would be ~$120. I might make 3D files available if there was demand for that as well.

THANK YOU for hearing me out.

I had a client ask me to make a custom display for his Star Wars "Micro Galaxy Squadron" collection of spaceships. These are ~roughly~ 1/100 scale but it turns out the maker of those toys fudges the numbers at times. Anyway, it's been a lot of fun to design and should be done soon!

I'm a maker of Star Wars customs (GreeblerElf). I'm more known for my 3.75" Kenner scale toys like the Tantive IV, but I had a client come to me with a request for a custom MGS Hangar Display based on the Mon Calamari Home One Ship from ROTJ. This has been a lot of fun - so I'm sharing my progress so far.

Details:

- Modular system made of roughly 8" (200 mm) cubes that can be combined to make one long hangar or individual pieces like corner displays.

- Facade will be the exterior face of the Home One ship

- LED Lighting from ceiling and wall

- Custom printed floor and background matte paintings

- X-Wing shown is 3D Printed mockup scaled to MGS size

- Will have a shelf in front that extends past hangar face to accommodate more ships.

I design miniature items for clients and I had a recent client who is obsessed with NYC's "Cobra Hood" streetlights/luminaires. He wanted a desktop USB-powered lamp for his office, so I designed this. I learned a lot of useful words like "Luminaire" and "Plinth" for this tiny project. :)

I’m making a Sky Patrol chrome version of my Sky Hawk for classified scale.
