STAR WARS: THE BOUNTY HUNTER SERIES
BOSSK ARTFX STATUE
A KOTOBUKIYA Japanese import! The
acclaimed series of Kotobukiya ARTFX Statues expands with the addition of the highest
requested characters from the Star Wars universe: THE BOUNTY HUNTER SERIES!
From the darkest chapter of the saga, Episode
V: The Empire Strikes Back, Darth
Vader has summoned six of the fiercest mercenaries in the universe: Dengar,
Zuckuss, Boba Fett, IG-88, 4-LOM…and the notorious Wookie-hunting Bossk.
The remorseless Bossk (whose name translates
as “Devours His Prey” in
his native Trandonshan tongue) is a hunter with a reputation feared galaxy wide,
and also an heir to the leadership of the Bounty Hunter Guild. The reptilian
humanoid stands almost a foot tall (11 ¾ in 1/7th scale), with his scales
and features exactingly replicated, resulting in an uncannily detailed appearance.
Posed on the prowl for his latest target, Bossk includes his Rebley-v10 Micro Grenade
Launcher.
Each of the Bounty Hunters will include
special bonus parts for you to collect. Once
all six Hunters have been released, you will be able to assemble the bonus parts
into a brand new, full size DARTH VADER ARTFX Statue! A
free $100 value given at no additional cost! The bases in this series
can be linked together on any side, creating a variety of display options for the
full series of characters. Line them up as first seen in Empire, or use
the Darth Vader as a centerpiece to assemble the bases to create the symbol of the
Galactic Empire! Bossk’s bonus part is: Darth Vader’s Torso and Right
Arm #1.
That is a lot of bounty to be hunted, so
let’s
review…
- A new ARTFX Statue each month, six in total
- Interlocking bases, which can be arranged to form the Imperial logo
- Bonus figure parts that can be assembled into a full size Darth Vader statue
- Additional bonus parts will also be included so that Vader can be displayed in
three different poses
With its large scale and impeccable paint
applications, this ARTFX Statue is a snap-fit kit that can be easily put together
in seconds without glue or modeling skill. Look for a new Bounty Hunter each
month!
