There have been several R2-D2 collectible statues in the past, but this new version from Gentle Giant is certainly among the most detailed. The model is 1:6 scale, and it includes eight accessories like: a periscope scanner, gripper, saw, and more. There are also slots for a lightsaber and scopes in his head, the torso has working panels and his arms are removable. Expect R2 to ship starting in June.
