Inside the box, the statue itself is packed into seven pieces: the round base, the Dooku figurine, the Asajj figurine, Asajj’s left arm, and three red lightsaber blades. I like that a lot, as it allowed me to compare the source to the final result, and I was very happy with how things turned out. The statue ships in a big box that has the original artwork displayed on the back. It comes together into a very nice juxtaposition of emotion. He’s enduring Asajj’s affections but stands upright, his gaze on the horizon.
Dooku obviously isn’t a seductive guy (sorry, Christopher Lee) and isn’t supposed to be here. I’ve never thought of Asajj as a particularly seductive character until now, but here she is sculpted with just the right amount of allure without losing her vicious scariness. The art translates beautifully into this statue, and it’s one of the best 2D to 3D creations I’ve seen. The sculpture is inspired by a piece of artwork that shows Asajj Ventress leaning on and draped seductively around Count Dooku, while he stares away resolutely. This is a pretty sizeable statue, coming in around 14″ tall, from the top of Dooku’s head to the bottom of the base. Here’s my review of the Asajj Ventress and Count Dooku statue. This time they really got creative, though, and produced this gorgeous piece based on art from a Star Wars Insider cover.
Gentle Giant has been very prolific with their Star Wars license, releasing loads of statues and busts based on scenes and characters from the movies and expanded universe.
