The figure is finished in lustrous pewter tones with dark antiquing rubbed into the crevices, accentuating the crisp sculpted contours and heavy drapery of the costume. The helmet features accurate flaring neck guards, defined eyebrow ridges, and deep-set lenses set above the triangular mouth grille. Across the torso, fine tooling delineates the ridged shoulder armour, the suspended chest computer box with tactile switchgear detailing, and the wide utility belt flanked by functional control canisters and an overhanging groin guard. The tailored undersuit displays dense horizontal quilting that contrasts sharply with the smooth metallic plating. To the reverse, a broad floor-length cape hangs in thick vertical gathers from a linked neck chain, pooling neatly around the armoured greaves and boots. The entire figure is permanently anchored to a broad, stepped black rectangular plinth, bringing the overall height to 81.28 cm (32 inches). Produced in the United Kingdom by Compulsion Gallery under official Lucasfilm licensing, this figure represents number 289 from a worldwide limited edition of 2,500 pieces. A satin-silver identification plaque is affixed to the lower lip of the plinth, recording the individual edition number, manufacturer, and copyright credits. The surface retains an attractive gunmetal sheen throughout, showing minor handling marks, light edge scuffs, and minor dust in the deeper drapery recesses consistent with previous display. See less
