Sideshow 1/6 R2-D2

Nothing is more infuriating in-beween proto pics and release than people who think it's amusing to fill a thread with pointless gifs and bon mots. You know who you are.

All delays and no toys make Freaks even freakier.

Starting to see that more & more the longer I'm here.

2021 Reverse Cowgirl Leia - braided.

picture that in my mind........

Got mu robo-notices from Sideshow about the delay...for R2, Rex & The Bomb Squad Trooper. The Bomb Squad's note was worded slightly differently, but the message was the same. No figures for the unforeseeable future and no control over it.

I really want this figure. However, with a shoestring budget I have to pick and choose.
Im holding out for the HT Stormies and premium format Vader.

Heres to hoping someone decides this droid has a bad motivator and sells him to me cheap.

Well, guess I didn't need to spend all that time accurizing my old ERTL model kit last year. Lol



By the way am I the only one who always kind of liked those big air hoses attached to Artoo's feet? I know they were only hiding Kenny's legs and we weren't technically supposed to notice them. But as a kid I always DID notice them, and frankly thought they looked kind of cool. Which is why I put them on my model.

 

[TonTon]

Cool addition. I never noticed them as a kid.

You mean 1970's Leia or 2015 Leia?

JJ: "OK, Harrison, this is the scene where Han tells Leia he loves her and kisses her."

 

[Wor-Gar]

"Chewie.... warm up the Falcon for me, will ya pal?"

[EVILFACE]

"Chewie.... warm up the Falcon for me, will ya pal?"

Chewie prolly had to install one of these. For Han and himself.

Waiting for the Photoshop in 3, 2, ....

Great, read! I like reading the behind the scenes stuff about these things - like the guy who posted on therpf about his involvement in making the SSC probe droid.

The team worked hard to get every detail just right, using reference provided straight from Lucasfilm. “We repeatedly viewed the original trilogy, reference books, Artoo replica sites, and licensed reference imagery,” Bischof says. “There are a lot of details that you can’t pick up in the films, so we spent a lot of time blowing up images and screenshots to try and match the details as close as we could. We do have access to a lot of great reference imagery, which Lucasfilm has on hand.”

It's just a shame they didn't have access to a ruler.

 

[Pixelpiper]

I like this shot.

 

[TaliBane]

How come he has one in a Sideshow shipper box and I don't? Does he know someone at the port?

 

[Lejuan]

I'm looking forward to using the little wand to open all the little doors. And tapping the dome to turn the lights on and off.
