Geekscape Toys: Two New Figures Join Kotobukiya’s ‘Star Wars VII’ ARTFX+ Line!

Hype for Star Wars: The Force Awakens certainly isn’t limited to North America. Japan has its share of fans and some pretty swanky merchandise, too. Two such pieces of merchandise come to us by way of Kotobukiya, producers of the ARTFX+ figure line (and the cutesy Cu-Poche line, among others). The ARTFX+ series are pre-painted statues that you can assemble without glue. Just snap the parts into place and you are good to go.

The first figure is Captain Phasma. Standing at almost eight inches (1/10th scale), this statue is reinforced by magnets in her feet that add stability when paired with the included metal base. Plasma is also armed with her blaster from the film. Interchangeable arm parts allow for two different poses. The Captain Phasma ARTFX+ statue is available for pre-order now, priced at US$69.99. The figure is scheduled to ship in April 2016.

The second figure is the Imperial First Order Storm Trooper, the soldiers under Captain Phasma’s command. Like Phasma, this statue is 1/10th scale but stands a little over seven inches tall rather than their Captain’s eight. The Storm Trooper is packaged with a blaster and three different shoulder pauldrons: black, white, and red. It also comes with a metal base similar to Phasma’s, to match the magnets in its feet. The Imperial First Order Storm Trooper ARTFX+ statue is available to pre-order now for US$54.99. It is also scheduled to ship in April 2016.

Are you planning on pre-ordering either (or both) of these figures? What characters would you like to see next? Post your thoughts in the comments but please avoid spoiling as much as possible.
