Sideshow Collectibles Life-size R2-D2 Figure

Sideshow has finally unveiled its life-size Artoo, and boy is it awesome. I envy whoever’s going to win it for free. The figure is embedded with electronics for its lights and sound effects, which can be triggered with the included remote control. You can also turn its head to either side.

That said, for its cost – $7,450 (USD)! – I’m pretty sure you can have someone make a life-size and fully moving remote controlled R2-D2. I don’t doubt Sideshow’s craftsmen though, and I’m sure this one’s stunner in person.
