<p><span id="more-2971"></span></p>
<blockquote><p>
Far superior to the battle droid armies of the era, clone troopers formed the backbone of the Republic&#8217;s military initiative against the Separatist forces, so much so that the wars they fought in came to be named after them. The Clone Captains were easily distinguishable on the battlefield by their distinctive red helmet and armor deco.

<p><strong><a href="http://shop.starwars.com/catalog/product.xml?product_id=414298;category_id=336;pcid1=;pcid2=">Yoda vs. Palpatine ARTFX Statue</a></strong><br />
Last but not least we have this amazing ARTFX statue, standing almost 11 inches tall.  Available for pre-order at the official Star Wars shop. The product starts shipping March 2008 and costs $175.</p>
<blockquote><p>
This gigantic ARTFX Statue measures over 15 inches long, and almost 11 inches tall (1/7th scale), with both of the figures being independent of the base, allowing you to position the characters as you like within the Senate diorama base. The Force Lightning is cast in a dynamic, translucent material, and is also removable (via optional hands) for a variety of posing options. Spectacularly detailed, from the wrinkles on the future Emperor&#8217;s face, to the texture pattern on Yoda&#8217;s robe, this piece stands as a fitting monument to two of the most powerful wielders of the Force.</p>
<p>With its large scale and impeccable paint applications, this ARTFX Statue is a snap-fit kit that can be easily put together in seconds without glue or modeling skill. Kotobukiya&#8217;s ARTFX Series continues to produce some of the best Star Wars collectibles in the galaxy.
