Obi-Wan Kenobi
ABOUT THIS 1:10 SCALE STATUE
Sideshow and Iron Studios are proud to announce the latest from the Art Scale 1:10 line – Obi-Wan Kenobi! This Star Wars Collectible Art Scale Statue is limited edition and comes with a detailed hand-painted base.
The worn clothing and robe reflect the time and severity of the arid planet Tatooine, where the Jedi Master adopted the name Ben Kenobi to remain anonymous in his exile, watching over the safety of his future apprentice and protégé. With a stern countenance, he has a raised left arm and an open hand, which evokes the idea that the character is using the “Force”, the source of his power, and his gift as a Jedi while wielding his majestic blue lightsaber in his right hand. The figure scales a rock-shaped base, with the remains of a technological artifact embedded in its surface. In this way, Iron Studios presents one more figure from a galaxy far, far away, in the form of the statue of the master “Obi-Wan Kenobi BDS Art Scale 1:10 – Star Wars – Iron Studios“. A unique and exclusive version, by Iron Studios, in a scenario imagined and inspired by the elements of the Jedi hero’s trajectory! A new concept by Iron Studios, which started with the statue of the fearsome General Grievous (already available on Pre-Order), and which will present this exclusivity along with other future Star Wars releases, by Iron Studios!
Obi-Wan mentored both Anakin Skywalker and his son Luke, training them in the ways of the Force. Born on the planet Stewjon, Kenobi was taken away as the Padawan apprentice of Qui-Gon Jinn. Kenobi became the first Jedi in a millennium to defeat a Sith Lord when he defeated Darth Maul during the Battle of Naboo. During this event, Jinn was seriously injured by Maul and died in Kenobi’s arms. At Jinn’s request, Kenobi took Anakin Skywalker as his Padawan apprentice. Anakin headed for the dark side of the Force, becoming Sith Lord Darth Vader. His beloved wife, Padmé Amidala, without his knowledge, gave birth to twins, Luke and Leia, but she died in childbirth. To hide from Vader the information that his children had survived, Leia became a Princess on the planet Alderaan, and Luke was raised by his uncles in the desert Tatooine, where he came under the protection of Obi-Wan, who later became his master.
In one of the most requested projects by fans, Obi-Wan will soon get his solo series through Disney+ streaming. The character will be played again by Scottish actor Ewan McGregor, who incorporated the character in the second trilogy of films, in episodes 1, 2, and 3 of Star Wars.

Bo-Katan Kryze
BOUT THIS 1:10 SCALE STATUE
Sideshow and Iron Studios are proud to announce the latest from the Art Scale 1:10 line – Bo-Katan! This Star Wars Collectible Art Scale Statue is limited edition and comes with a detailed hand-painted base.
The fiercest Mandalorian warrior gets her Iron Studios statue!
On a moon covered by oceans called Trask, is located the port where the galaxy’s black market operates. This scenario is where the bounty hunter Din Djarin, also called Mando, when betrayed by fishermen of the Quarren race, who wanted to steal his armor because of the valuable Beskar metal, is saved by three Mandalorians of the Kryze clan under the command of Bo-Katan. This conflict occurs in the 11th chapter of The Mandalorian series, called The Heiress. In this same episode, we are introduced to the leader of the rebel Mandalorian faction, who breaks the rules of doctrine by removing her helmet and exposing her face. Bo-Katan first appeared in the Star Wars: The Clone Wars animated series, reappearing in the Star Wars: Rebels animation. In both series, the character’s voice was from Katee Sackhoff, who now brings the character to life in person.
In the past, the Mandalorians divided into two groups: those who followed the pacifist ideals of their governor, Duchess Satine, and those who idealized their warrior origins, with Bo-Katan, Satine’s sister, belonging to the second group. Upon being exiled, she joined a radical group, even partnering with Sith Lord Darth Maul, who betrayed his allies and seized power. To combat the villain’s reign, Bo-Katan became the leader of the Mandalore Resistance, joining forces with the Jedi, and this leadership was accomplished when she became the bearer of the legendary Darksaber. With the interference of the Galactic Empire, Bo-Katan ended up suffering a coup and was deposed, which resulted in a civil war in her world. This whole situation generated such dissatisfaction in the Empire that, when they concluded that the rebels would not let themselves be dominated, they promoted the genocide of a large part of the Mandalorians. In the series The Mandalorian, Bo-Katan seeks to take the Darksaber from Imperial law enforcement agent Moff Gideon, to reassume the leadership of her people and reunite them all, according to her ideals.
Iron Studios’ line of statues from The Mandalorian series, featuring Mando and Grogu (Baby Yoda) Art Scale 1:10 and Legacy Replica 1:4, and Moff Gideon Art Scale 1:10 (all already available for Pre-Order), adds one more to the incredible line, the “Bo-Katan BDS Art Scale 1:10 – The Mandalorian – Iron Studios” statue. Inspired by her first appearance in the live-action, in a defensive position and ready for action, she wields her blaster pistols over a diorama base filled with elements such as ropes, a box, and a barrel, which allude to the vessel’s deck in the waters of Trask, where she flies in with her jetpack and lands to save Din Djarin. Faithfully portraying her armor, the figure presents the warrior with her helmet, preserving the mysterious Mandalorian aura… This is the way!
