Added V2.0 sculpt below-

I'm working on a Gonk Droid and wanted to gauge interest- with enough interest he will be a hi quality 3D print, molded and cast in resin, as a kit- running around $70

Here's the official interest list- he will take a few weeks to cast, total cost with shipping in the US is $80, and 50% secures your spot. Let me know if anyone wants to be added/removed from the list-

Don't think so but can investigate.

I have two of these already one is from JPG productions and the other found on ebay. but if we can get an articulated legs it would be fantastic.

In addition to the JPG Productions kit Echobase Toys also makes a Gonk kit. So that's three Gonk kits. Would like to see how this one turns out.

Yes I have the JPG one too. Just need to get around to painting him. He's going with my Sandtrooper.

This looks identical to JPG, but with a deeper front control panel. Did you scan JPG?

No scanning involved- just working off Lucasfilm blueprints-

looks great so far

Awesome! I have the jpg, i always thought it was too wide and not tall enough. Are you going for true scale? What's the dimensions?

Haven't committed to a height yet- do you know what he should measure in 1:6 scale?

Updated photos- was able to figure out 'articulation' with a second leg posing option. I estimate he stands about 7.75" tall- that sound right?
Let me know who's interested-
Thanks!

I would be down for one, since you figured out the articulation on it. maybe have some LEDS and a sound feature would be cool.

Anyone know if battery powered leds with a sound function can be easily connected to / controlled by a remote ? I have the JPG version with sound and was wondering if I could connect a remote.

I've received enough interest for the project to move forward!
Chime in if you'd like to be on the list!
Thanks-

I’m interested!!

Me too.

I'm interested.

Is he going to have any gizmo's on top?

I was checking up the JPG droid and I wonder if it is on the small side. Looks like it's not as tall as R2D2, looks to me that the gonk should be at least as tall maybe a bit taller.

There are a bunch of pictures here: https://www.tk409.com/gonk/screencaps/index.html

Found this:

So a little taller it is.
