Star Wars Imperial Probe Droid Investigates Sideshow Collectibles

Published Sat, 05 Nov 2022 11:22:09 -0500

All focus has really been on Star Wars: Return of the Jedi as its 40th Anniversary approaches next year. However, Sideshow is putting some light on Empire Strikes Back as they debut their latest Star Wars statue. It was on the ice planet of Hoth that fans were introduced to the Imperial Probe Droid, who spotted the Rebel base. These deadly bots are the scouts of the Empire, and now collectors can bring one home. Coming in at 27" tall and 13" wide, it is beautifully sculpted and brings the droid to life right off the screen. On top of the impressive detail, Sideshow Collectibles has also included an electronic function with light-up eyes, rotating legs, and the Imperial Probe Droid can even play transmission sound effects right from the film. This is one remarkable Star Wars: The Empire Strike Back statue for any fan to own, and this beauty comes in at a whopping $975. Pre-orders are live right here, and recon will begin in September 2023.
