Kotobukiya has updated with details on their next Star Wars statue. They will be releasing a Scout Trooper ARTFX+ Statue, as seen in Return of the Jedi. The 1/10 scale statue stands about 7″ tall. The Scout Trooper includes two sets of swap out arms, allowing for different display options. In Japan, the figure is set to be released in June, and will be priced at 11,000 Yen (about $100 USD). U.S. pre-orders should go live relatively soon. You can check out additiona info below, and the official images after the jump.
Elite troopers within the Imperial Army’s Stormtrooper Corps that made an appearance in Star Wars™: Return of the Jedi, Scout Troopers™ join Kotobukiya’s ARTFX+ line!
Scout troopers made their notable appearance in Star Wars: Return of the Jedi as they chased after Luke Skywalker™ and Princess Leia™ on their speeder bikes on Death Star’s shield generator on Endor.
This ARTFX+ Scout Trooper™ can be displayed conducting reconnaissance and infiltration with the included EC-17 hold-out blaster.
ARTFX+ Statues are fun-to-assemble pre-painted snap-fit kits that can be easily put together in seconds without glue or modeling skill. The Scout Trooper™ stands just over 7 inches tall (1/10th scale) and looks great in any collection!
Star Wars: Return of the Jedi - Scout Trooper Statue by Kotobukiya
Not cute or sexy enough.
What is up with these jacked up prices? The Tie Pilot, now the Scout Trooper. I mean they are rather basic 7'' figures, nice to look at but usually they ranged around 60 bucks, not 100+. Somewhat weird.
Yeah, I guess the prices on these artfx+ figures must've been creeping up throughout the years and no ones been noticing. It's a little tough to swallow with the TIE pilot tho since it's essentially the same piece as the AT-AT driver (tho I'm sure it's an all new sculpt-on screen however the helmets are actually the same sculpts)
Also, gotta disagree with the other post, I think this biker scout is pretty dam sexy.
