Master Replica's The Matrix The Nebuchadnezzar Die-Cast

To celebrate the 25th anniversary of The Matrix, Master Replicas are releasing an incredibly detailed, 11.8” long, die-cast model of Morpheus’s ship The Nebuchadnezzar. When The Matrix was released in 1999, the Wachowskis changed cinema forever. Sci-fi had never been cooler. The original movie played with huge ideas as Morpheus and his allies freed Neo from his mundane reality and introduced him to the truth: a world where the machines have subjugated humanity. 

The Nebuchadnezzar, which was designed by concept artist George Hull, was at the heart of the story. The Neb was a rusting hovercraft that used EM pulses to protect itself from the machines, as Morpheus and his crew managed to stay one step ahead of the robotic Sentinels. 

This impressive die-cast model has been digitally sculpted before being cast in zinc alloy and ABS, and painted by hand. It has been officially licensed by Warner Bros. and is a true collector’s item.
