By 2026, the legendary Sith Lord Darth Vader will journey to feudal Japan, reimagined as a formidable warrior through a stunning new collectible statue from Iron Studios.
Iron Studios has unveiled an exquisite new addition for Star Wars collectors. The company announced that pre-orders are now live for a 1/10 scale statue of Darth Vader, meticulously designed with a distinct samurai aesthetic.
Enthusiasts looking to secure this piece can expect a retail price of $259.99. The statue measures approximately 10 inches (25.6 cm) in height, 4.8 inches (12.2 cm) in width, and 6.9 inches (17.6 cm) in depth, with a total weight of 940 grams.
This creative reimagining portrays the character through the lens of Japanese history, emphasizing the spiritual and stylistic links between the Sith code and the way of the samurai—parallels that famously influenced George Lucas during the creation of the Star Wars universe.
The sculptors have paid incredible attention to detail, crafting intricate armor plates, realistic fabric textures, and a stylized helmet. The paint application highlights deep contrasts while providing a polished metallic sheen, all set upon a thematic base that completes the Eastern-inspired composition. The statue is scheduled for release between October and December 2026.
Fans interested in a closer look at this unique reveal can view the “Inside Iron Studios Day” event recording, where Darth Vader is showcased starting at the 29:51 timestamp.
