Snoke is World’s First Solid Gold Lego Figure
WAWA, PENNSYLVANIA — The Franklin Mint Company has revealed an unprecedented partnership with Lego to create limited-edition Snoke figurines that are literally worth their weight in gold.
As you can see in our exclusive pics (stolen by an unscrupulous Instagrammer, who also had the images stolen by even less scrupulous click baiters) the leader of the First Order is a bald humanoid dressed entirely in gold.
But in a company first, Lego has commissioned the Franklin Mint to recreate Snoke’s robes and brick shoes in 24 karat solid gold. What’s more, the collectibles company is working with a private Russian firm to acquire a handful of real Fabergé eggs.
“His cracked head should be as valuable, if not moreso, than his clothes,” said Franklin Mint goldsmith Barry Goldsmith.
According to Lego insiders, the ultra-rare, supremely valuable Snoke figurines will be packed in randomly with the First Order Star Destroyer Lego set.
Goldsmith is also excited about an evolution of the Franklin Mint’s bread and butter: “We’re finally introducing another set of collectible Star Wars plates, this time crack-head themed. We’ve got Anakin and Snoke and a few other surprises in the series. Full size plates in the same scale as their heads, with a crack and a chip in just the right places. Talk about adding character to the mantle, right?!”
Both the solid gold Lego Snoke figurines and the Franklin Mint’s Cracked Head collectible plates are targeting a December release to coincide with The Last Jedi’s premiere.
