STAR WARS: THE BOUNTY HUNTER SERIES
ZUCKUSS 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, 4-LOM, IG-88, Bossk, Boba Fett, and the insectoid bounty hunter known as Zuckuss.

While in the employ of crime lord Jabba the Hutt, Zuckuss was teamed with the analytical protocol droid-turned-bounty hunter 4-LOM. Their teamwork was impressive, and Zuckuss' nebulous instinctive style was complemented by 4-LOM's hard-edged logic. Among the bounties assigned the two was Sector Governor Nardix. This gained Zuckuss and 4-LOM considerable notoriety when the hunters turned Nardix over to the Rebellion, who then tried the Imperial for his crimes. The trials caused a great deal of embarrassment for the Empire. Dressed in the garb of a force sensitive Findsman, the schizophrenic Zuckuss has a wealth of personality only hinted at in Episode VI, yet detailed throughout the Expanded Universe. Standing at 10 ¼” tall, in 1/7th scale, Zuckass stands posed with his GRS-1 snare rifle at his side. Zuckuss’ alien features of the Gund race are accurately detailed, with his metallic facemask protecting him from breathing oxygen; deadly to his species.

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!

That is a lot of bounty to be hunted, so let’s review…
