Star Wars villains get a moody re-imagining by Square Enix




Square Enix, the gamesmaker that gave us the Final Fantasy series (alongside plenty of other games), also has a sideline in fancy high-end action figures. Its latest collection tackles the Star Wars universe, well, the darker side of said universe. Alongside Darth Vader (which was teased late last year), Play Arts Kai has revealed two more additions: a particularly stoic-looking Stormtrooper and Boba Fett. But reimagined action figure (or perhaps licensing) ain't cheap: Each figure retails for around 12,000 yen (roughly $100), but (but!) each can be articulated at 14 different points, with three three joints on each arm for maximum dramatic posturing... and reminding yourself (and younger family members) that these aren't for kids.
