Royal Selangor is no stranger to pop culture collaborations, having produced figurines from the likes of the DC series featuring Batman in full combat mode, to the Millennium Falcon from Star Wars, as well as Darth Maul, Anakin, and a lightsaber replica in pure pewter.
Now, in conjunction with an on-going collab with Walt Disney Southeast Asia, Royal Selangor adds another model into the Star Wars line-up, featuring none other than protocol droid, C-3PO. The model references one of the scenes from the original trilogy, more specifically, Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope.
Unlike the other models, this limited edition figurine comes fully coloured. 3PO is portrayed with a silvery lower right leg, in a stance inspired by the scene when 3PO and R2D2 were stranded on Tatooine. The base too, reflects the environment on the desert planet. Made completely from gilt pewter, the figurine is finished off with the aforementioned silver leg and a selectively stained black torso with satin highlights.
No prices as of yet, but we estimate it to be around RM 2000. Royal Selangor doesn’t do standard runs though. Only 5000 units of the C-3PO model will be made and are sold at Royal Selangor outlets. Better be quick if you wanna cop!
