Sideshow / Arsham Studio: Star Wars - C-3PO / R2-D2 / Han Solo in Carbonite - Crystallized Relic Statues

[Shoo]

Arsham Studio and Sideshow are proud to present the C-3PO™ Crystallized Relic Statue, a new fine art Star Wars™ collectible from world-renowned contemporary fine artist Daniel Arsham.

Sculpted in Daniel Arsham’s signature style of creating future relics, this C-3PO fine art statue blends the timelessness of pop culture with the natural erosion of elements. The result is a contemporary piece of mythmaking that uncovers a piece of galactic history for collectors and art enthusiasts to enjoy. The sculpture reimagines this beloved protocol droid as an archaeological monument from a long time ago and far, far away. Arsham's proprietary crystalline patterns artfully blend with the complexity of the figure's construction, with cast details perfectly preserved and scaled down from a life-sized, hand-made and unique fine artwork made by Arsham Studio.

Each piece in this limited-edition release measures 18.5” tall and stands on a 7x7” blue-tinted base to subtly and elegantly highlight the delicate monochromatic matte design of the sculpture. The C-3PO Crystallized Relic Statue comes in custom-designed rigid, magnetic closure packaging that features concept art of the fully realized collectible highlighted with spot gloss. Custom-cut high-density foam provides premium protection, while the sleek, matte black exterior decorated with silver foil, and the official Sideshow and Arsham Studio seals, is display-worthy in its own right. Star Wars collectors won’t want to miss their opportunity to bring home this museum-quality collectible, the first in a series designed by Daniel Arsham and produced by Sideshow.

Unearth the possibilities of pop culture and fine art in your collection with the C-3PO Crystallized Relic Statue by Daniel Arsham today.

Looks like chalk. Or sweets

SS sent me a notification that this was available, but I do not recall ever signing up to be notified.

With Greg Anzalone sending a separate CEO email about this, they're really trying to plug it.

I don't get it...

They're pushing these hard.

Personally don't see the interest in it, and I can spend my $700 elsewhere, especially for this scale.

I'm sure they'll have an audience for this, but not sure how large it will be.

I smell something fishy…

Looks cool. But do recall it having some blue/cyan in damaged areas in promo pictures. Now gone. Would’ve been nice with some more colors.

Not interested in this one today. Maybe later, but quite pricey for something non-star wars.

They've been busy deleting (or hiding) all of the negative comments.

Impressive they're learning from the best (P1)

I received an email from someone high up in the Sideshow chain…maybe the President of the company? Anyway, he was commenting on how he could count on one hand the number of times he has interacted with his customers which I thought was really sad. Then, he proceeded to hype this new line. So, I scroll down and see the statue. Wow. I am speechless. I am thinking he might be able to count the edition size of these on one hand. This will be very telling to watch develop.

Some very expensive Meh. I don't see the appeal at all.

I received the same email and had the same reaction.

His lack of interaction with the customers is very telling about the difference between Sidehow 15 years ago and Sideshow now. Boo.

I agree. This man needs to get out and talk with his customer base before he doesn’t have one.

Perhaps I'm in the minority but I like them a lot. Han Solo looks like the best of the ones they've previewed.

 

[pixletwin]

I don't get it...

They are supposed to look like ancient stone carvings with a bit of damage.

I don’t see the appeal. Looks like an unpainted model kit. Also saw on FB that it only weighs 6 lbs so who knows what it is actually made of.
