Limited to only 400 pieces, this Dark Crystal Age of Resistance SkekTek 1:6 Scale Statue comes with a certificate of authenticity and comes packaged in a closed box.<\/p>\n<p>In the shadows of the Castle of the Crystal, a dark and terrible discovery has been made. Entrusted with guardianship of the great Crystal itself, the Skeksis have abused their power and the Gelflings in their service. Under the direction of the Emperor, SkekSo, the Crystal&#8217;s lifegiving properties have been cruelly exerted by the Skeksis to stretch their own vain lives. When ages of misuse of the great Crystal of Truth means the rapacious Skeksis can no longer draw its power to prolong their deplorable existence, SkekTek the Scientist is ordered to find a solution. Though by far the most diligent and meticulous of his kind, SkekTek is no less cruel or unprincipled than his fellows. The culmination of his wicked experiments upon the now darkened Crystal propels him to an answer so diabolical that it will reshape the power structures of Thra forever; plunging the world into war.<\/p>\n<p>This deserves a space on your mantle (or wherever you keep your precious art pieces).
