12" Gold Plated C-3PO Statue

Manufacturer: Gentle Giant Studios Release Date: 01 Mar 2005 MSRP: 165.00 USD Country: United States

Description: Gentle Giant Studios continues their magnificent statue line with the beloved Cybot Galactica 3PO Human-Cyborg Relations Droid: C-3PO. The statue stands impressively at 12-inches tall, and is tastefully finished with gold plating. It was this golden color that came in quite useful for the Rebellion, as was discovered in Star Wars: Return of the Jedi. An unusually fussy and worry-prone protocol droid, C-3PO accompanied the Rebel strike force that was sent to knock out the Imperial shield generator on Endor. Although some would question the addition of a protocol droid on this military mission, it ended up quite fortunate that Threepio went along. On Endor, the strike team encountered an indigenous species of primitives that worshipped the golden droid as a god. The Ewoks, a tree-dwelling tribal people, proved to be valuable allies. Were it not for their allegiance, which was won by Threepio's impressive retelling of key events of the Galactic Civil War, the Rebellion would not have been victorious at the decisive Battle of Endor. Gentle Giant Studios' latest edition to their growing cast of Star Wars character sculptures is packaged in a full-color box with a certificate of authenticity. Edition size is yet to be determined.
