DARTH VADER 1:2 SCALE BRONZE STATUE BY SIDESHOW

Ladies and gentlemen, this incredible Darth Vader Bronze Statue isn't made of chocolate, despite what this picture may tell your eyes. No, this magnificent piece of Star wars memorabilia is made from 150lbs of solid bronze. Yes. Solid bronze. This is quite possibly the most lavish and extravagant piece of merchandise ever made. This 1:2 scale statue of the Dark Lord of the Sith is priced at $18,000. Oh Em Gee indeed. But just look at the thing- it is truly a work of art the likes of which the collectibles market has never seen before. Hyperbole? No. This is Sideshow Collectibles we're talking about here. I wouldn't be surprised if this thing could cure diseases. That's how awesome this chunk of metal is.

The statue stands at a whopping 45 inches tall and its shipping weight is estimated at 68 KILOS. Sculpted by respected artist Lawrence A. Noble, the Darth Vader Bronze Statue is set to be a limited edition of just 30 pieces worldwide. That does make it one of the raresat and highest spec Star wars collectibles ever made available by any company in the franchise's history. This is truly an incredible piece of liucensed memorabilia that will take some serious work to beat. What next, a life-size Millenium Falcon? This exquisite item will be made available to the true hardcore elite Star Wars fans in the last quarter of 2008.
