Kotobukiya has shared with us exciting and updated news about their upcoming Star Wars range of collectibles for the coming months. They are ARTFX's Yoda vs. Palpatine and General Grievous vs. Obi-Wan Kenobi, both available now and the ARTFX TIE Fighter Pilot (UPC Code 699788821411) and the bounty hunter Zuckuss both available in August 2008.




STAR WARS YODA VS PALPATINE ARTFX STATUE
A KOTOBUKIYA Japanese import! 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 (38 cm), and almost 11 inches (28 cm) 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 fun-to-assemble 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.

GENERAL GRIEVOUS VS OBI-WAN KENOBI
A KOTOBUKIYA Japanese import! The most requested character in the Star Wars universe has been added to the ARTFX Statue Series: The ruthless Jedi hunter, GENERAL GRIEVOUS!

Standing at over 11 inches (28 cm) tall, Grievous has extended all four of his arms (and light sabers) and crouches eye to eye with his arch foe, Jedi Knight OBI-WAN KENOBI. No detail of Grievous’ mechanical body has been overlooked, right down to the flesh surrounding his cyborg eyes. The droid general will include a bonus base part in order to link with our Episode 3 Obi-Wan Kenobi figure (sold separately) to form a diorama recreating the battle of Utapau!

With its detailed construction, grand size, and accurate styling, this ARTFX Statue is a 1/7 scale snap-fit kit that can be easily put together in seconds without glue or modeling skill. You’ve just had a hand in making the one of the best Star Wars battle scenes ever!

STAR WARS TIE FIGHTER PILOT ARTFX STATUE

A KOTOBUKIYA Japanese import! With over 30 releases in the line, the Star Wars ARTFX Statues continues with the TIE FIGHTER PILOT!

Only the intensely trained elite of the Imperial Navy get the honor of defending the Galactic Empire by getting behind the twin ion engines of a TIE Fighter. Garbed with a sinister black helmet connected to oxygen support tubes, the Pilot is portrayed as an 11 1/4" (28,5 cm) tall statue in a dynamic action pose. Bonus parts enable the Pilot to be displayed with his BlasTech E-11 Blaster in both hands at the ready, or throwing his aim forward to take a shot at rebel scum. Stepping through a doorway on the Death Star, a MSE-6 mouse droid is seemingly always underfoot. The Mouse Droid is a separate piece, so it can be positioned anywhere on the base.

With its large scale and impeccable paint applications, this ARTFX Statue is a fun to assemble snap-fit kit that can be easily put together in seconds without glue or modeling skill.

THE BOUNTY HUNTER SERIES ZUCKUSS ARTFX STATUE

A KOTOBUKIYA Japanese import! The acclaimed series of Kotobukiya ARTFX Statues expands with the addition of the highest requested characters from the Star Wars universe: THE BOUNTY HUNTER SERIES!

From the darkest chapter of the saga, Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back, Darth Vader has summoned six of the fiercest mercenaries in the universe: Dengar, Bossk, Boba Fett, IG-88, 4-LOM... and the insectoid ZUCKUSS.

Each of the Bounty Hunters will include special bonus parts for you to collect. Once all six Hunters have been released, you will be able to assemble the bonus parts into a brand new, full size DARTH VADER ARTFX Statue! A free $100 value given at no additional cost! The bases in this series can be linked together on any side, creating a variety of display options for the full series of characters.

ZUCKUSS ARTFX STATUE
Dressed in the garb of a force sensitive Findsman, the schizophrenic ZUCKUSS has a wealth of personality only hinted at in Episode VI, yet detailed throughout the Expanded Universe. Standing at 10 1/4" (26 cm) tall, in 1/7th scale, Zuckuss stands posed with his GRS-1 snare rifle at his side. Zuckuss’ alien features of the Gund race are accurately detailed, with his metallic facemask protecting him from breathing oxygen; deadly to his species.

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. Look for a new Bounty Hunter each month!

Zuckuss’ bonus part is: Darth Vader’s Cape
