Master Replicas launches new Foundation model line, and a fantastic costume competition

By John Freeman on July 23, 2025

To celebrate the highly anticipated third season of Foundation, recently launched on Apple TV+, Master Replicas has launched a brand-new line of officially licensed model ships based on the hit Skydance Television series.

To celebrate this new release, fans have the rare opportunity to win authentic, screen-used costumes from the acclaimed sci-fi TV series – an “Arctic Suit”, or a Foundation spacesuit.

Leading the launch of this incredible new collectible line is the Imperial Jump Ship, a faster-than-light vessel used by the Empire to dominate space travel. This intricately detailed, 10.75-inch die-cast model is crafted using the original CG mesh used by the Foundation VFX team during the making of the series, ensuring an incredible degree of accuracy.

The model is available for pre-order now at masterreplicas.com

Designed by renowned concept artist Paul Chadeisson, under the creative direction of production designer Rory Cheyne and VFX supervisor Chris MacLean, the Jump Ship’s sleek, blade-like design was built to “cut through space.”

The collaboration between Master Replicas and Skydance Television was facilitated by Skydance’s licensing agency, IMG Licensing.

Costume competition exclusive

There are two ways to win one of original costumes direct from the Foundation production archives in the Master Replicas competition.

To win the “Arctic Suit”, simply buy an FTL ship. Most of the ships are blue, but one lucky buyer will receive a gold version of the ship and will win the arctic suit

To enter the competition for the spacesuit, simply like and follow MasterReplicasOfficial on Facebook, Instagram, X or Tik Tok. When the competition closes on 1st January 2026, one winner will be selected at random.

These extraordinary costumes will be on display at major conventions in the US and UK throughout the year, starting with San Diego Comic-Con this weekend. The costumes are also accompanied by a certificate of authenticity provided by Propstore, one of the world’s leading entertainment memorabilia auctioneers.

The competition closes on 1st January 2026. Full terms and conditions can be found at masterreplicas.com/pages/foundation-competition-terms-and-conditions

Ben Robinson, Creative Director at Master Replicas, commented “We’re incredibly grateful to Skydance for giving us this exciting opportunity.

“Foundation is one of the most beautiful and intelligent TV shows ever made. The level of detail in both the costume and ship design are extraordinary, and we’re thrilled to share that with fans. To our knowledge, no one has ever done anything quite like this before.”

Stephen Lane, Founder and CEO of Propstore, added: “None of the Foundation props or costumes have ever appeared at auction before – these are rare, authentic pieces that showcase the series’ incredible design work.

“It’s a truly special opportunity for collectors and fans to own a part of this groundbreaking sci-fi universe.”
