Pre-Order is LIVE – Jawa & EG-6 Power Droid Sixth Scale Figure Set by Hot Toys

Via Sideshow:

Sideshow and Hot Toys present the Star Wars Jawa & EG-6 Power Droid Sixth Scale Collectible Figure Set based on Episode IV: A New Hope!

Jawas are meter-tall humanoids completely hidden behind rough, hand-woven robes. Their faces are concealed within the dark folds of a cowl, from which only their glowing yellow eyes can be seen. They comb the deserts of Tatooine in search of discarded scraps, wayward mechanicals and incapacitated droids to drag to their fortress-homes and immense sand-scarred vehicles known as sandcrawlers. The Jawas sell their hastily refurbished junk to moisture farmers who are hard-pressed to find a better selection elsewhere.

Little more than walking batteries, Power Droids trundle along as directed by their owners or their programming, recharging vehicles and machinery. They are often called “Gonk” droids in imitation of their simple vocalizations. There are many different models of Power Droids. Although they are common sights throughout the galaxy, Power Droids are often overlooked despite their critical importance to both military and civilian life.

Meticulously created based on the appearance of the two characters in the movie, the Jawa Sixth Scale Collectible Figure features a newly developed head with LED lights, a skillfully tailored costume, variety of accessories, and a sand-themed figure base. The EG-6 Power Droid is finely crafted with a detailed mechanical body complete with weathering effects, and also comes with a sand-themed figure base.

Qui-Gon Jinn Sixth Scale Figure by Hot Toys – Pre-Order Live

A venerable if maverick Jedi Master, Qui-Gon Jinn was a student of the living Force. Qui-Gon lived for the moment, espousing a philosophy of “feel, don’t think — use your instincts.” On Tatooine, Qui-Gon discovered a young slave boy named Anakin Skywalker who was strong with the Force. Sensing the boy’s potential, Qui-Gon liberated Anakin from slavery. The Jedi Master presented Anakin to the Jedi Council, but they deemed the boy too old to begin training and dangerously full of fear and anger. They refused to allow Qui-Gon to train Anakin, but rescinded their decision to fulfill Qui-Gon’s dying wish.

Sideshow and Hot Toys are excited to introduce the Qui-Gon Jinn Sixth Scale Collectible Figure from Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace!

Skillfully crafted based on the appearance of Qui-Gon Jinn in the film, this sixth scale collectible figure features a newly developed head sculpt, finely tailored Jedi robe and tunic, a desert poncho, LED light-up lightsaber, Comlink, grappling hook, a hologram projector with interchangeable holograms, and a movie-themed figure base! Battle the dark side with Star Wars collectible Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn!
