Star Fox 64 3D Figurines Will Make You Do a Barrel Roll of Joy
June 26th, 2012
Star Fox 64 is as famous for its one liners as it is for its origami style vehicles. If you’re a fan of the game, these figurines by Takara Tomy won’t let you down, sir. They’re actually based on the 3DS remake of the game, but these are the first and thus only official models of the vehicles, so there’s no sense in nitpicking.
Although the models are available separately, Ryan Deaver of Nintendo Connect bought a whole set and was kind enough to share these pictures of his assembled vehicles. Although these are currently limited to Japan, Deaver says the instructions and labels are in English, so you don’t have to worry about messing up the Arwing, Landmaster or Blue-Marine.
Even though the models are not officially for sale outside of Japan, you can do what Deaver did and get them on eBay, where you can find a whole set for as low as $28 (USD).

Can the wings of the Arwing move like in the game or are they just stuck in all range mode?
I’m not sure, though judging from the images it does seem like they’re not moveable.
I figured they wouldn’t move. I just bought mine last night and I’m excited to get my hands on these vehicles. Thank you for the response. :D
I just got the seeing in the mail 2 days ago. Yes the wings do move and the instructions depict that you can have the bottom of the G-diffuser unit both extended for twin blaster mode(as depicted in these photos) or closed for single blaster fire. I currently havey model displayed with the closed g-diffuser and the wings swept back for a sleek “in flight” look.
