You have seen all-time popular movies like Star Wars, Superman, Spiderman, and Lord of the Rings. The characters in their magnificent costumes never fail to impress us: Darth Vader in his menacing mask and black robes, or Boba Fett looking dapper in her bounty hunter armor.

Fancy having one of these famous people immortalized in a scaled-down replica, so you can be left alone? Now you can! Many toy companies, realizing the high demand for these movie collectibles, have sprung up to make replica statues and minibusts of these characters for collectors and fans. Some dealers have even gone so far as to create replicas of spaceships and other vehicles from popular movies like Star Wars and Star Trek. Imagine having a model of the Millennium Falcon sitting in your bedroom! Great, huh?

These works of art have generated a huge market and are highly sought after by collectors around the world. These statues are highly detailed and look exactly like the actual characters from the movies. They are also perfectly weathered and painted and are truly a sight to behold. Also, many manufacturers tend to produce these items in limited edition form. Once they run out, they are gone forever. So it’s no wonder some of these items go on sale months in advance, and collectors acquire many through pre-orders even before the item is made.

Most of these replicas are made of vinyl, which is a type of plastic that is safe, easy to clean, and does not corrode. The paint is also excellent, with fine details like rust and wear painted on to make the character look very real. It’s almost like scale plastic modeling, which is a hobby enjoyed by many, except these replicas are completely finished, ready for you to place on your display stand.

Many of these replica statues come in different shapes and sizes, but the most popular are the 12-inch tall statues. They are about the length of your forearm and will make an impressive statement on your mantelpiece. Other statues are in the form of busts, which are only from the torso or from the chest up. Some of the statues are even life-size! Imagine having a life-size bust of “The Thing” sitting in your bedroom, it’s actually a little scary, if you think about it.

So if you don’t have your movie character statue yet, what are you waiting for? Go reserve one now. If you miss it, there will be no second chance!
