Sideshow has announced that the Chewbacca and C-3PO Premium Format figure which is inspired by the appearance of heroic Wookie and the disassembled protocol droid in their escape from Cloud City in Star Wars: Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back is available to pre-order now, priced at $795; take a look here…
It’s time for a daring escape from Cloud City! The Chewbacca™ and C-3PO™ Premium Format™ Figure unites a loyal Wookiee and a protocol droid in pieces as Imperial forces and bounty hunters close in on Bespin from all sides. Chewbacca holds an E-11 blaster taken from invading Stormtroopers while he carries the partly reconstructed C-3PO in a net on his back (soft fabric element included). The duo stands on a marble-white floor base with gold side accents mirroring Cloud City aesthetics seen in the film.
This quarter-scale Star Wars collectible includes two fully detailed characters in one composition, measuring 24.68” tall x 14.24” wide x 17” deep (62.6 cm x 36.2 cm x 43.2 cm). Chewbacca’s distinct, layered fur has been painstakingly sculpted and painted to capture his shaggy, imposing silhouette. He also wears his signature bandolier and satchel. C-3PO’s complex droid components have been recreated and disassembled, giving fans a unique look at his technological structure. His panels feature gold chrome-like painting for a deep, reflective shine offset by blaster fire and scuff marks. C-3PO also includes a light-up display option in his eyes to give him an activated appearance.
