Affiliate Link – Star Wars R2-D2 Statue Limited Edition Sculpture

It’s amazing how time and a better understanding of the market and manufacturing processes changes your perception of things. I first mentioned this Star Wars R2-D2 Statue Limited Edition Sculpture* way back in 2009 (first posted here) and thought the $160 price tag was too high; well, today’s me is here to tell yesterday’s me that $160 is a perfectly reasonable price when you take into account low production numbers, cost of shipping, and licensing fees. Yesterday’s me was so inexperienced it makes me sad.

Along with his resourcefulness, R2-D2 was equipped with many tool-tipped appendages that allowed him to serve as a superior starship mechanic and computer interface specialist. Many of those tools and appendages come included in this deluxe statue. There are 8 accessories in total– a periscope scanner, mechanical gripper, utility saw, and more– that can be assembled into the sculpture’s exposed chest or dome panels. The finely crafted, 1:6 scale polystone statue comes hand painted and is a limited edition. Each piece is hand numbered with a matching certificate of authenticity. It’s a must-have for any R2-D2 or Star Wars fan!
