1/6 Sideshow Collectibles R2-Q5 Imperial Astromech Droid

[Wor-Gar]

Now that's something I'd jump on (RA-7), though I'd imagine SSC would make compromises on the belly wiring and chrome finish.

Yep, love him... black OR silver...

 

[Prime Clone]

Looks like SideShow has found their Iron Man! Easy pass.

Nah, that was the Rainbow Troopers...

I'd like to see BT-1 and Triple-0 from the new Darth Vader comic:

This droid is really eye catching in my opinion. Might pick it up if it's priced lower than R2-D2.

 

[TaliBane]

This is where things get tricky - will people pay $150 for a (I assume) no-lights background droid? Or will it be a little cheaper? The same will go for a TC-14 version of SSC 3PO. SSC wants to get a bit more play out of their droid molds like they did with the clones, but prices have gone North since those days.

 

[XxStrait-EdgexX]

Definitely bought!

I've been waiting to add an imperial droid to my imperial only display!

 

[afattori]

Should be 79.00 at the most.

 

[Darth Fok]

looks slick but it's a pass for me as well.

 

[Darklord Dave]

Everything is cooler in black. R2 is a great figure - and this should be too.

 

[Bucky Underbelly]

I stopped collecting Star Wars years ago, but I'm seriously tempted by this. That color scheme is gorgeous.

 

[WWEJedi]

Droids are the new clones.

edit: Droids, not drones,

 

[marker2037]

This would look very cool in an Imperial display.

 

[jedibear]

Everything is cooler in black. R2 is a great figure - and this should be too.

Agreed!

 

[Shalamar]

This is an easy win for me.

I'm currently building a Life sized R2 Q5..

 

[GeneralZodLives]

I'll probably get this. I need an evil R2.

 

[devilof76]

Wicked cool, but not as cool as a Power Droid.

 

[DarthTrafford]

Cool looking figure.
I'd be open to a R2KT droid too.
It could help the charity she was built for.

 

[WWEJedi]

I wish SSC would get Borderlands license and make a clap trap. All the droids do look great, would love to see what they could do with claptrap.

 

[PopCultKid]

The color scheme is awesome but I'd only consider this if it's substantially cheaper than R2. If he's a bare bones droid and is launched at R2's price, I'd pass just for the insult alone.

He would kick R2's ass though just because he wears black and he's bad

 

[TonTon]

Would they stick with the working lights? Can't remember how often other R2 units are seen with lights on.

 

[davejames]

Looks cool, but to be honest R2 and R5 are the only astromechs I've ever had much interest in.

Although I would definitely love to have a 1/6 prototype R2 someday, or even Chopper from Rebels.
