The creative minds over at Hot Toys Japan and Hasbro have joined forces. The two have come together to reveal three new Star Wars products as part of its Obi-Wan Kenobi BLACK Series. The new releases include high-end, 1:1-scale models of Darth Vader’s helmet, Riva Sivander’s double-edged lightsaber, and Obi-Wan Kenobi’s lightsaber. Each lightsaber features grip activation with light-up action and sound effects, boasting motion sensors for a realistic response.
Riva’s lightsaber can be taken apart for left and right blade use, boasting a length of 198cm when combined. Darth Vader’s helmet boasts a jet-black, high-finish paint job, while the hood, mask, and collar can be removed. The 1:1-scale helmet can actually be worn and features installed SFX, replicating Darth Vader’s breathing sounds. All three items are set to be released in October, with Obi-Wan Kenobi’s lightsaber, Riva’s lightsaber, and Darth Vader’s helmet priced at approximately $300, $640, and $180 USD, respectively.
Take a closer look at the new trio of products in the images and head over to Hot Toys Japan for a complete list of BLACK series items. In the meantime, keep it locked with The Culture Curators for more collectibles coming very soon.
