Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace - Anakin's Pod Racer 1/20th Scale Diorama Statue
Amidst the scorching sands of the desolate planet Tatooine, a perilous and deadly Podrace unfolds. Racing through gorges, mountains, caves, and treacherous rocky formations, one-man repulsorcrafts, or Podracers, engage in a high-speed competition reminiscent of sleds propelled by massive turbine engines. In a narrative twist, a young enslaved boy from the Mos Espa market, who believes he is the only human capable of competing in a sport dominated by aliens, joins forces with a Jedi master in a high-stakes bet where the prize is his freedom.
The Demi Art Scale 1/20 Statue by Iron Studios captures this iconic moment over a diorama base replicating part of the race track. The propeller turbine raises clouds of sand beside the ground, creating a dynamic scene with the vehicle inclined as if navigating a curve. This statue presents Anakin’s Podracer from Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace (1999), commemorating the film's 25th Anniversary.
Anakin Skywalker, born on the desert planet Tatooine, was the son of the enslaved Shmi Skywalker. With midi-chlorians in his blood that surpassed even Grand Master Yoda, Anakin's destiny took a turn when Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn discovered him during the Naboo invasion in 32 ABY. Through a bet with Watto, Anakin’s owner, made by Qui-Gon, Anakin won the Boonta Eve Classic, securing his freedom from a life of enslavement.
For Star Wars enthusiasts, seize the opportunity to enhance your collection with this hand-painted, polystone statue, capturing the essence of this thrilling moment from a galaxy far, far away.
