LOL, it's the broken, not-even-movie-accurate design as well.

The titanium series models all suck anyway. It's obvious the only reason it looks like that is so they could have an ISD with it that wasn't tiny- heck, it looks like a 4-mile Executor. The canon size disparity could never be accurately represented by such a cheap-ass toy.

Toys are not a viable measurement in size debates.

OMG OMG THE X-WING IS FUCKED, MAN!!111!!

Aren't models like the one in the OP advertised as scale-miniatures though?
Looks like they got the scale all wrong.

Since they not only got the scale wrong, but also the dimensions of the Executor itself (it looks like it's been squished and had its weight shifted to its width), my argument stands.

Only the color is 'new.' That die is the same one that's been in use for at least a decade.

In all fairness, this toy package must have been designed some time ago.

Anyone with a brain can see it isn't accurate at all. We all know that most of the main outer hull is reletavely flat. All those "ridges" running across the top make me think they borrowed inspiration from neo BSG in designing this thing.

Pretty sad considering that this is a titanium model, cast to last.

Would you feel better about it if it was made of cookie batter?

Anyone who wouldn't say "hell yes!" to that is a dirty liar.

Probably planned and produced ages before the size debate was resolved. Toy manufacturers aren't all that concerned with accuracy anyway, and *anybody* who tries to use this as a valid measurement would find their asses laughed off the board in short order. Unimportant. I wouldn't purchase it personally due to its looking like ass, although a few other of the Titanium models do look rather nice...

My first inclination was that it was a scaled up star destroyer. I rather buy small lego set then that.
