Even in the midst of a Star Wars summer, fans can look forward to a flurry of exciting new snow globes now available for shoppers eager to get into the holiday spirit a few months early. With lights, sounds, and other cool features, this relatively new category in the field of Star Wars collectibles takes a giant leap forward with these exceptionally well-crafted additions to a growing hobby. Of course, most of these are not designed specifically for the holidays -- these can be successfully displayed year-round at home, in the office, or wherever a bit of Star Wars flair is needed.

Rawcliffe's Battle of Hoth Snow Globe
The excitement of the snow battle on Hoth comes alive with flurries of snow surrounding a lumbering AT-AT, which seems trapped in a perpetual blizzard with the help of an automated "snow" pump. The sculpted base includes a crashed snowspeeder and Luke Skywalker, who luckily stands clear of the approaching walker and the storm brewing within. Measuring about six inches tall, this is one Star Wars sculpture that will add some drama to your display shelf!

Rawcliffe's Yoda vs. Sidious Snow Globe
The climactic battle between Yoda and Darth Sidious is effectively captured in this great new snow globe which pairs great sculpting with clashing saber sound effects. The venerable Jedi Master has it out with the Sith Lord Sidious atop a floating senate pod. Surrounding the battle is a striking base that recreates the Coruscant cityscape in amazing detail. With a globe nearly four inches in diameter, the sizable base really enhances the presence of this piece in any display setting, expanding the width to nearly eight inches!

Rawcliffe Darth Vader Snow Globe
Look into the eyes of Darth Vader and discover the fate of the former Jedi Knight! This innovative new snow globe features the dueling figures of Anakin and Obi-Wan behind the eyes of Vader's iconic helmet, the top part of which can be removed for better viewing. The sculpting and finish on Vader's helmet truly make this a striking piece to behold, paired with a breathing sound effect with lights that modulate to its rhythm. The tormented mind of the Dark Lord is revealed in this artful sculpture that measures over nine inches tall and will easily be the most intimidating display in your Darth Vader or snow globe collection.

Rawcliffe Tom Jung Poster Art Snow Globe
Tom Jung's timeless classic artwork for the original Star Wars Style "A" poster is rendered 3-dimensionally for this all new snow globe which features flashing lights and a selection from the original Star Wars soundtrack. The idealized figures of Luke and Leia stand poised for battle while a dimensional Death Star looms in the background. This enormous six-inch diameter globe measures approximately 7.5 inches tall on a sculpted base which sports the classic poster logo.

Kurt Adler Santa Yoda Snow Globe
Ralph McQuarrie's classic image of Yoda in Santa outfit has been transformed into a wonderful new snow globe which features festive Star Wars holiday scenes on a sculpted base. Classic wind up music box movement plays "Let it Snow" while a delicately sculpted Yoda peers out from a snow-filled globe. Measuring nearly six inches tall, this is the very first holiday-themed Star Wars snow globe ever produced, and will likely not be the last. Get this first in a possible series now while you still can!

Rawcliffe Mini Snow Globes
Yoda, the droids, and Darth Vader are all featured in a cool set of new mini globes that come alive with a quick shake -- R2-D2 and C-3PO appear to be suddenly caught in a Tatooine sandstorm while Vader becomes engulfed in an eruption of Mustafar embers. Yoda stands pensively on Dagobah, while a Forceful flurry of gold and emerald glitter "surrounds and penetrates" the space around him. All three globes are mounted on finely sculpted bases that feature the characters' setting and Star Wars logo.

Never before have so many Star Wars snow globes been available to collectors at once. These are among the first in what could become a grand new tradition for Star Wars collectibles, so now's the time to grab one or more of these fantastic pieces for yourself or as a gift to be displayed for the holidays and throughout the year!
