Darth Vader Kneeling Statue


Welcome to YWC, it is my pleasure to share my Darth Vader Kneeling statue by Gentle Giant LTD. The statue is based on the scene in Empire Strikes Back between Vader and Emperor Palpatine as Vader ask's, What is your bidding, my Master ? This was a classic scene in the first trilogy as it is when we are first introduced to the Emperor. The folks at Gentle Giant spared no detail down to the light up base wich definately completes the piece. Vader is superbly sculpted giving the piece a sense of fluidity and presence. The statue is sculpted polystone, 1/6 scale and measures 11.5 inches in height, a great size for a Vader piece without overwhelming your whole shelf. This statue displays very nice with the various Vader busts GG has put out over the years and since the run is 5000 it is not impossible to find and for a good price. Actually turning on the light-up feature on this piece for the first time was pretty exciting especially with the lights out, its almost as if your in the scene, and the piece looks amazing.
I give this piece a strong 9 out of 10 simply because GG got it right.
Happy Collecting.
