BEEP BOOP BUZZ: R2-D2 And All His Tools

r2-tool-model.jpg

R2-D2, best known for having to put up with that whiny gold asshole all the time, is actually a pretty handy little droid to have around. He can pick locks, shock people, and even launch a lightsaber to you when you're about to be fed to a Sarlacc. Plus the guy knows how to party (suck it, Bender!).

This hand-painted 1:6 scale representation of R2-D2 comes with 8 accessories, including a periscope scanner, mechanical gripper, and utility saw. As you can see you can stick them on Artoo's head or on his chest. You can pre-order the limited edition R2-D2 statue at the Star Wars Shop for $149 (USD). Unfortunately Artoo won't make it in time for Christmas; orders won't be shipped until June next year.

I kind of want one. Is that wrong? Because if it is I don't wanna be right. Wait, yes I do. I always want to be right. TOO BAD I'M LEFT. Oh -- oh -- incoming novelty t-shirt idea!: "Southpaws don't have to do it right". I'd buy one (read: you'd send me one for free). Somebody, run with it! *CRASH* Aaaaaand you should have looked both ways.

    This is Geekologie reader Doug's home-built Guitar2-D2 electric guitar. He said at first he wasn't gonna send it to me because he felt like that would be too narcissistic of him. Then I think he chugged a couple beers and warmed up a little. I've avoided spreading this link ... / Continue →

    This is a homemade R2-D2 crash helmet lovingly constructed by artist Jenn Hall. However she is not REQUIRED to wear it, so don't ask her if she licks bus windows (trust me, she took offense when I did). Tell me a little bit more about that sweet R2D2 helmet you've got. How ... / Continue →
