Stargate Franchise Expands with New Collectible Release and Upcoming Series
Master Replicas introduces a detailed Horus Guard helmet desktop collectible while fans await a new series helmed by Jac Schaeffer.
The expansive Stargate science fiction universe is preparing for a new collectible release next month, offering fans a detailed replica while they await the franchise's eventual return to television. While a planned revival helmed by series veteran Martin Gero was previously cancelled, a new iteration is currently in development for Prime Video led by WandaVision creator Jac Schaeffer.
While the television timeline continues to develop, Master Replicas is giving collectors a piece of the franchise's iconic history. The company has announced the upcoming release of a Horus Guard Helmet Desktop Replica, measuring just under six inches tall on its display stand. Crafted from painted polyresin and based on careful study of original props, the item is available for pre-order and will retail for $69.99.
The Horus Guards first appeared in the 1994 feature film directed by Roland Emmerich and written by Dean Devlin alongside Emmerich. The original movie starred Kurt Russell as Colonel Jack O'Neill and James Spader as scientist Dr. Daniel Jackson. In the film, a military team uses an ancient ring-shaped device to travel to an alien world where an extraterrestrial entity named Ra rules over a human population.
The 1994 film grossed enough success to launch a sprawling television franchise, beginning with Stargate SG-1. The television series ran for 10 seasons and more than 200 episodes, eventually expanding to include spinoffs such as Stargate Atlantis and Stargate Universe. Although Universe concluded its run in 2011, the franchise has maintained a dedicated fanbase supported by various merchandise and collectibles.
In the fictional lore, the Horus Guards serve as elite Jaffa warriors protecting the Goa'uld alien rulers Ra, Hathor, and Heru'ur. Recognized by their distinctive falcon-headed helmets featuring sharp, hooked beaks and elaborate golden headdresses, the guards became memorable villains throughout the television series and the original film.
The new desktop replica is the second release in Master Replicas' desktop lineup, following other Goa'uld designs like the Serpent Guard helmet. Company representatives stated that the miniature prop was digitally sculpted to capture the authentic appearance of the television and film equipment.
Meanwhile, audiences looking to revisit the origins of the franchise can stream the 1994 motion picture for free on Pluto TV. The original film provides the foundational mythology that inspired decades of television production, books, and collectibles, keeping the enduring sci-fi universe active for enthusiasts worldwide.
