Thank you Gentle Giant! Thank you Star Wars! Thank you for the gift of gracing us with the GREATEST R2-D2 collectible of all time! There I said it! This lovely astrometric droid has all the bells and whistles that we wished we could have had in previous Artoo toys. There has been previous attempts by Kenner and Hasbro at adding the little special features that Artoo possessed, but they never did Artoo justice. Next year, Gentle Giant will drop this bad boy early next year. Measuring at 7 inches tall, Artoo will be produced in cold cast polystone and hand painted? With all this meticulous work, it is obvious that this Artoo will be limited edition. On top of the great craftsmanship, this bitchin’ Artoo comes with periscope scanners, mechanical gripper, Luke Skywalkers lightsaber (from Return of the Jedi). rotary saw, computer hackin’ thingie, and more. All the little accessories are detachable so you can customize Artoo to your liking. BEAUTIFUL! Too bad this Artoo doesn’t move and make noises. That my friends, is the next GREATEST R2-D2 collectible of all time!
