Lladró is unveiling their special edition Darth Vader with a stunning gold finish. Click through for the official press release.
April 2023.- One of the most feared Sith lords in the known universe is the subject of the latest creation by Lladró artists. The Star Wars Celebration, held this year in London starting April 7, was chosen as the ideal place to unveil a very special limited edition of Darth Vader: the ultimate exponent of the dark side of the Force is available in just 70 units finished in gold, to mark the brand’s 70th anniversary.
Darth Vader has entered the popular imagination as one of the greatest movie villains of all time. The terrifying Dark Sith Lord is recognized all over the world thanks to his legendary uniform and his particular almost robotic movement. These characteristics have been captured to perfection thanks to the painstaking etching and the dynamic design charged with the “force” that controls all living creatures in a galaxy far, far away.
The new Lladró creation is an excellent example of the diversity of the Valencia-based brand over its seven decades revolutionizing the world of porcelain. A further demonstration of an artisan craft taken to a new creative dimension with the Star Wars universe.
The iconic character has already been depicted in a handmade creation by Lladró artists, in a sold-out limited edition of 504 units launched in 2022. A must-have for all lovers of Star Wars, the creation in porcelain portrayed Darth Vader in all his magnetism, in matte black with touches of glaze, striking an impressive presence at almost 50 cm tall. The number of units in the edition, 504, was chosen as a homage to Star Wars day, May 4.
The new special edition of Darth Vader, also standing at around half a meter tall and finished in gold, is the latest addition to the Star Wars Celebration 2023, joining the version in porcelain of Grogu™, the lovable character from The Mandalorian presented earlier this year; and the heroines Rey™, protagonist of the last trilogy; Ahsoka Tano™ and Queen Amidala™ —both in limited editions of 1000— as well as Princess Leia™.
