StarWars.com gives us an exclusive first look at the new Gentle Giant Bo-Katan Kryze Premier Collection 1/7 Scale Statue that will be going up for pre-order tomorrow on Gentle Giant’s website (estimated arrival is later this fall). The statue checks in at about 11″ in height and will have a production run of just 3,000 pieces. Bo-Katan can be posed with or without her Mandalorian helmet and will no doubt be a proud centerpiece of any Star Wars collection. Check out the image gallery from StarWars.com included below and then head on over to the official site for an interview with designer Barry Bradfield.
The Clone Wars fans have known for nearly a decade: Bo-Katan Kryze is just about the coolest there is. A Mandalorian who evolved from Death Watch loyalist to freedom fighter, Kryze battled to save her homeworld in the Clone Wars and has stood against both Maul and Imperial remnants, emerging as a warrior and leader who ranks among the best (and most dangerous) of the galaxy far, far away. And there’s good news for the Kryze faithful: Diamond Select Toys imprint Gentle Giant Ltd. is celebrating the Mandalorian legend as seen in The Clone Wars with the Bo-Katan Premier Collection 1/7 Scale Statue, revealed here exclusively on StarWars.com.
Limited to 3,000 pieces and arriving this fall, the statue measures roughly 11 inches tall and comes with interchangeable parts, allowing Bo-Katan to be displayed with or without helmet, and with blaster or helmet in hand; the base is brilliantly formed from smoke and dust kicked up from her activated jetpack, creating the illusion of flight. The face sculpt, with wrinkled brow, shows the character’s sense of determination, while the armor is filled with scratches and battle damage that convey all she’s been through. It’s highly-detailed and gorgeous take on the character, and StarWars.com caught up with the designer behind the piece, Barry Bradfield, to find out how this striking tribute — Gentle Giant Ltd.’s first-ever Bo-Katan statue — came to be.
