Mar 31 2008Lifesize And Realistic R2-D2 And C-3PO
Massive Star Wars fan? More money than you know what to do with? If so get yourself these lifesized R2-D2 and C-3PO collectibles.
Sideshow Collectibles' C-3PO and R2-D2 are the most authentic life-size reproductions ever available to private collectors. Available now for pre-order, these highly-anticipated collectibles will begin shipping in 3rd Quarter 2008. Crafted of fiberglass and various quality materials, these sought-after droids are sure to be the centerpieces of any Star Wars collection, perfect for your home, office, or theater room.
Each will have some light-up and sound effect features, along with a complementary magnetic restraining bolt in case you want to treat the mother like a slave. R2-D2 will set you back $5,450 and C3-PO a staggering $5,950 with pre-order deposits of $950 required. Wow, that's a lot of space-dollars. Now I'm not saying you save your money and pass on these, but you should. At least on C-3. He was such a whiny little asscap in all the movies. I <3 U R2.

next time they might want to try and make them real, that way it wont seem as big of a rip off. They should at least be able to be used as a drink dispenser.

Isn't C-3PO supposed be shinier than that?

^Maybe 'more reflective' is the term I should have used.

I like that if you go to the Sideshow Collectibles page and read the description, it says that they both come with magnetic restraining bolt accessories that you can attach magnetically to the droids, but the Geekologie guy wrote that as:"...magnetic safety brackets to prevent children from toppling the robots over"
Nice job. REAL geeks know that restraining bolts are PART of the Star Wars universe, and NOT a real RESTRAINT of any kind...
