Three new Exclusive Star Wars ARTFX+ Statues revealed!
Rebelscum.com reports that a toy company called Kotobukiya has revealed a couple of press releases of new Barns & Noble exclusive ARTFX+ Statues of two Star Wars characters! They also have have launched a pre-order on their website for a brand new exclusive Force Awakens ARTFX+ Statue of Kylo Ren.
Here’s the rundown:
1. Star Wars ARTFX+ R-3PO Statue. Expected to be available at Barns & Noble book stores in November. According to the Press Release details:
A Kotobukiya Japanese import! Star Wars ARTFX+ Statues bring you all of the quality and detailing that you expect from an ARTFX release in a great smaller scale perfect for collecting!
Next up in this series is a unique protocol droid coming exclusively to Barnes & Noble: R-3PO! A 3PO unit with a long history, R-3 was first seen with the Rebel Alliance in Echo Base on Hoth in Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back.
However, more recently it had a cameo in the LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens game where it had been reprogrammed to work for the villainous First Order!
The droid shares the same humanoid body type made famous by C-3PO, though R-3PO is immediately recognizable with its deep red paint job and bright yellow “eye” sensors.
ARTFX+ Statues are fun-to-assemble pre-painted snap-fit kits that can be put together easily in seconds without glue or modeling skill. At 6 ½ inches tall R-3PO is perfectly scaled (1/10) to the figures in the ARTFX+ line and comes with magnets in its feet for extra stability on the included metal display base. Make sure all of your translation and diplomatic efforts are met with success with R-3PO at your side!
Available in November exclusively at Barnes & Noble, Limited to 1500 pieces.
2. Star Wars ARTFX+ R2-Q2 Statue. Expected to be available at Barns & Noble book stores in November. According to the Press Release details:
A Kotobukiya Japanese import! The Star Wars ARTFX+ Statues bring the heroes and villains of the Star Wars universe to life in dynamic 1/10th scale statues, and joining it now is an Imperial astromech first seen in Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope.
R2-Q2 was part of the team that boarded the Tantive IV to search out its involvement in the Rebellion, and now you can take it home to root out Rebel spies in an exclusive presentation available only at Barnes & Noble!
An R2-series astromech droid built by Industrial Automaton just like the heroic R2-D2, this unit features the familiar barrel-shaped main body and domed head but in a sinister black, gray, and white color scheme perfectly appropriate to the Empire.
Limited to 1500 pieces, the Barnes & Noble exclusive R2-Q2 stands nearly 4 ½ inches tall in the ARTFX+ 1/10th scale. This is definitely the droid you’re looking for and it will be a perfect centerpiece in your Star Wars display!
Available in November exclusively at Barnes & Noble, limited to 1500 pieces
3. Force Awakens ARTFX+ Kylo Ren Statue, $140 and is expected to ship on May, 2017. According to the details:
- Kylo Ren looks great in this beautifully sculpted 1/7 scale statue, standing on a snow-themed base sculpted to hint at the shape of Darth Vader’s destroyed helmet.
- Kylo Ren strikes a wide, stable stance, holding his unique lightsaber (with LED light up features) raised to attack those who oppose the First Order.
- With the ARTFX line’s easy snap-fit assembly, Kylo Ren is ready to display in seconds!
