Next up in Kotobukiya’s Star Wars ARTFX+ Statue series is a unique protocol droid coming exclusively to Barnes & Noble: R-3PO! A 3PO unit with a long history, R-3 was first seen with the Rebel Alliance in Echo Base on Hoth in Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back. However, more recently it had a cameo in the LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens game where it had been reprogrammed to work for the villainous First Order! The droid shares the same humanoid body type made famous by C-3PO, though R-3PO is immediately recognizable with its deep red paint job and bright yellow “eye” sensors.

ARTFX+ Statues are fun-to-assemble pre-painted snap-fit kits that can be put together easily in seconds without glue or modeling skill. At 6 ½ inches tall R-3PO is perfectly scaled (1/10) to the figures in the ARTFX+ line and comes with magnets in its feet for extra stability on the included metal display base.

Available in November exclusively at Barnes & Noble, Limited to 1500 pieces.
