When the first Razor Crest playset hit the shelves, fans (like me) were excited—and that excitement only grew when a MicroFighter-sized version was announced. But on release, disappointment quickly set in. For aficionados like me, the model just didn’t look right.
The problem? It was clearly designed to meet licensing requirements that forbid selling individual minifigures, favoring sets that include some building instead. Enter the MicroFighter range: tiny sets with a vehicle and minifigure, often wildly out of scale, aimed squarely at kids rather than collectors. A cynical take? A clever way to move Din Djarin figures without upsetting the legal team.
Of course, I bought the kit anyway and enjoyed building it—but I couldn’t shake the feeling it wasn’t quite “screen accurate.”
Then Lego released a smaller polybag version (a covermount with the Blue Ocean comic), which looked closer to the real thing, though the engines still seemed off. Naturally, I picked that one up too.
For fun, I decided to kitbash the two versions. The goal: a MicroFighter-sized Razor Crest that actually felt like the Lucasfilm original. The results speak for themselves. The ship’s lines are truer to the source, the engines sit more convincingly, and there’s even a working rear hatch. Mission accomplished.
