Code 3's robust and exquisitely-detailed Vader custom TIE Advanced X1 is now shipping, so make sure to head on over to
StarWarsShop today to get one of these beautiful limited editions from the film that started it all!
With over 300 hand-crafted pieces, all detailed features were scaled from the original TIE Advanced X1. The cockpit hatch is removable, exposing the astounding detail of the interior, control panels, side panels, and the Darth Vader figure seated at his pilot chair.
This compelling showpiece is custom painted to emphasize its rich detail, from the weathering effect of the exhaust fumes to the computer detail on the interior side panels. This replica of the TIE Advanced X1 Starfighter was molded based on the original models and photos from the Lucasfilm Archives. This would make a fantastic addition to the other Code 3 vehicles in the Star Wars line, and would also fit in nicely with the studio scale models previously released by other licensees.
This hefty piece is rendered in 1:38 scale, with overall dimensions measuring in at 9.5" x 2.3" x 11". This edition is limited to 5,000 pieces worldwide.
Also shipping now is the extremely limited Signature Series edition of Vader's TIE, which includes a cast resin base detailed like the Death Star surface and a plaque signed by James Earl Jones. Limited to just 500, these are available now from the Code 3 Collectibles website.
