Kotobukiya Announces First Ever North American Star Wars Exclusive

Tokyo, Japan - Kotobukiya announces their plans for Star Wars Celebration IV in Los Angeles, including exclusive products, question & answer session, upcoming product sneak peeks and more!

The first-ever USA convention exclusive from the popular series of meticulously detailed ARTFX Statues - Kotobukiya's brand name for snap fit, prepainted vinyl statues - will be YODA: SPIRIT OF THE FORCE ARTFX STATUE, featuring LED Light and Voice Sound Chip Features.

Featuring an exact likeness of the wise Jedi Master as he appears in The Empire Strikes Back, and containing superb detail throughout, you can also click the button on the top of Yoda's base to hear three different phrases of original movie dialogue, as spoken by Frank Oz.

1. "May the Force be with you."
2. "No. Try not. Do…or do not. There is no try."
3. "You must feel the Force around you. Here, between you...me...the tree...the rock...everywhere!"

Cast in translucent material, activating the LED feature will illuminate Yoda in his blue, glowing Jedi Spirit form. With detailed construction and accurate styling, this kit can be easily put together in seconds to recreate George Lucas's renowned Grand Master of the Jedi Council.

YODA: SPIRIT OF THE FORCE ARTFX STATUE will be limited to only 1138 pieces for Celebration IV. Each box will be individually serial numbered to ensure collectibility, as this is one of the smallest production runs for any piece in the ARTFX line.
