From Episode III Revenge of the Sith, relive the epic battle between the respective masters of the Jedi and the Sith! With Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, ultimately revealed as the manipulative Darth Sidious, Grand Master of the Jedi Order, Yoda sets out to find Palpatine within the Senate chamber and eliminate him.

This gigantic ARTFX Statue measures over 15 inches long, and almost 11 inches tall (1/7th scale), with both of the figures being independent of the base, allowing you to position the characters as you like within the Senate diorama base. The Force Lightning is cast in a dynamic, translucent material, and is also removable (via optional hands) for a variety of posing options. Spectacularly detailed, from the wrinkles on the future Emperor’s face, to the texture pattern on Yoda’s robe, this piece stands as a fitting monument to two of the most powerful wielders of the Force.

With its large scale and impeccable paint applications, this ARTFX Statue is a snap-fit kit that can be easily put together in seconds without glue or modeling skill. Without question, Kotobukiya’s ARTFX Series has proven to produce some of the best Star Wars collectibles in the galaxy.
