If you enjoyed the $18,000 Darth Vader Bronze Statue that we wrote about a couple of months ago, this 7.75 inches tall $1,300 Yoda version should be right up your alley.

In collaboration with famed sculptor Lawrence Noble, Gentle Giant brings you a scale replica of the Yoda Fountain located in front of Lucasfilm’s Presidio and Big Rock Ranch complexes in Northern California.

This solid bronze cast of Yoda stands approximately 7.75 inches tall and is limited to only 80 pieces worldwide. Includes Certificate of Authenticity.

The Solid Bronze Yoda Statue is estimated to arrive in February 2009 and the product can now be pre-ordered for $1,299 from the official Star Wars webshop.

If you can’t get enough of Darth Vader and you have $18,000 burning in your pocket, this limited edition 4 feet tall and 150 lbs. heavy Darth Vader bronze statue by Lawrence Noble might be just what you’re looking for.

Like the now famous Yoda bronze adorning the Presidio fountain as well as Big Rock Ranch’s garden court entrance, the half-scale Darth Vader bronze is also being made available to the public in extremely limited quantities–30–exclusively through StarWarsShop.

The inspiration for this Vader bronze, which was modeled after the Dark Lord’s appearance in The Empire Strikes Back, ironically came from a source usually associated with the Star Wars prequels — the planet Coruscant.

“For me, the idea was to do the kind of statue we would see in honor and tribute to Lord Vader on the planet of Coruscant,” says Noble. “So if you were walking around the city on Coruscant and saw a statue of Darth Vader, it would hopefully be something along the lines of what we produced.”

The $18,000 Limited Edition Darth Vader Bronze Statue by Lawrence Noble is available from the official Star Wars webshop.
