Royal Selangor’s Dioramas

In 1885 Yong Koon a Chinese immigrant to Malaysia with nothing to his name but a set of tools and a determination to succeed opened a little shop, today Koon’s shop has grown into the company known as Royal Selangor, a world-renowned pewter manufacturer.

This past month I had the opportunity to visit the Royal Selangor shop on the Kings Road, London to view the collection in full and today bring you the third of a series of galleries covering their full Star Wars Collection.  Be sure to also check out our Baze and Chirrut galleries.

As part of their continuing exclusive Star Wars Collection, covering all eight Star Wars films come these two amazing dioramas. ‘Luke vs Rancor’ from Return of the Jedi and ‘Podracer’ from The Phantom Menace.
