YN 12 YEAR Giveaway #21 Reminder – Win A Gentle Giant Zam Wesell Statue!

Zam Wesell is a shape shifting bounty hunter, who was subcontracted by the notorious bounty hunter/mercenary Jango Fett. Zam’s bounty was none other than Senator Padme Amidala, in Star Wars: Episode II: Attack of the Clones.  Zam’s first attempt on the Senator’s life was the destruction of her starship. Unfortunately for this changeling, the Senator evaded the explosion and was soon taken under the protection of the Jedi. To carry out the second attempt of her intended target, Zam has at her disposal the venomous Kouhun Worm.

As Padme was being guarded by Master Obi Wan Kenobi, and his Padawan, Anakin Skywalker, Zam attempted a second time, only to be foiled by the Jedi, and captured. Before she had a chance to answer the Jedi’s questioning, she was eliminated by her employer, Jango Fett. As she cursed Jango with her last breath, her face reverted to it’s original Clawdite form.

Digitally sculpted by the master artisans at Gentle Giant Ltd., the Zam Wesell Statue features the changling assassin in her highly detailed costume holding her sniper rifle and container of Kouhun Worms. Zam also includes 2 interchangeable portraits, one humanoid portrait, and one Clawdite. Crafted using only the highest quality polystone, each limited-edition hand-painted statue comes individually numbered and is packed with a matching certificate of authenticity. May the Force be with you.

Only 500 of there were made and it’s been long sold out! To enter,  send us an e-mail to YodasnewsAnniversary@gmail.com with the subject “Happy 12 Year – Gentle Giant Zam Statue” and we will pick one person at random on or after 3/20/2016 to take home the prize! Due to the size of this item, this giveaway is only open to the USA and Canada. Don’t worry, we will have plenty of prizes coming up that ship worldwide.

You MUST include your full name and mailing address for the prize in the email for it to count. You may enter once per 24 hours from 3/13/2016 to 3/19/2016 11:59EST.  Good Luck!
