Update: June 16, 2007
«©NCSX» Kotobukiya celebrates the 30th Anniversary of Star Wars with a limited edition "Star Wars: Luke Skywalker vs Darth Vader PVC Figure Kit" which pits father against son in a dramatic battle scene. Darth appears to have the upper hand with his saber drawn and cape flowing. Luke's wearing a Tie-Fighter pilot's breathing apparatus, perhaps in an eerie homage to poppy. The kit is set to 1/7 scale and only 1977 units will be produced for the Japanese market. Each figure includes a serially numbered sticker so you know where you stand in the 1977 unit production run.Shipping Recommendation

From the Manufacturer
As the design consultant and conceptual artist for the original Star Wars trilogy, Ralph McQuarrie helped bring the vision of George Lucas to life. With only Lucas's script as a reference, McQuarrie played a pivotal role in creating the look of the universe, and most famously helped to create the visual image of the most feared villain in cinematic history: Darth Vader. As tribute to the 30th anniversary of Episode IV: A New Hope, the legendary original painting depicting a lightsaber duel between Lord Vader with Luke Skywalker has been fully realized in three dimensions as an ARTFX statue. The artisans of KOTOBUKIYA have taken great pains to faithfully reproduce McQuarrie's every detail, from Vader's samurai-inspired mask, to Luke's unseen-in-film breathing apparatus. Able to be assembled in seconds, this kit not only celebrates the 30th anniversary of Star Wars, but it is also the 30th ARTFX statue in KOTOBUKIYA's popular Stars Wars line!"
