R2-D2
Price range: $1,440.00 through $4,640.00
A life-size R2-D2, handcrafted by Blight Studios – and with the AI Systems on board, no longer a replica: he knows every film, has R2’s stubborn half-mind and his impulsive reactions. Technically, this is the droid himself. Pick a Statue or the fully motorized Remote Controlled R2, finished in our studio or as a DIY kit you build yourself, then make him yours with paint, dome and body upgrades and the AI kits. Every piece is a numbered limited edition with a signed Certificate of Authenticity. Website prices are direct-order prices – 20% below our eBay listings.

eBay buyer s***r (verified owner) –
The seller was very communicative and thorough. I got the DIY version, very well made stuff. I haven’t finished painting and building yet, but I’m thrilled to see how it all turns out.

eBay buyer 4***y (verified owner) –
Omg this is amazing. Took some extra time to get through customs but definitely worth the wait. Great communication with seller. Very well packed and arrived in perfect condition. A++++
eBay buyer g***e (verified owner) –
Superlatives do not do this item justice, the quality is fantastic, it really looks screen accurate & the paintwork finish is first class. This is the best value for money of any R2 D2 I have seen. This IS the droid you are looking for. The packaging is the best &, I would say, it would be difficult to pass a cats whisker between the polystyrene the box wall & the product, totally secure. Sellers communication kept me informed of every detail, from manufacturing through to shipping & customs.
eBay buyer e***g (verified owner) –
great communication and product just be patient it will show up
eBay buyer 9***9 (verified owner) –
I got my R2D2 today! It came very well packed, in good order and it was a joy to assemble. It looks very realistic and is very well made with good attention to detail. The legs need some work to secure though. Otherwise, I would highly recommend it for any true Star Wars enthusiast. May the force be with you.
eBay buyer 0***n (verified owner) –
We’re absolutely thrilled with this purchase… it exceeded every expectation! I was initially hesitant about ordering internationally and spending this much, but the communication was fantastic throughout. Every message was answered promptly and thoughtfully, which really put my mind at ease. Let’s be honest, projects like this often take longer than planned, and that can be stressful. But once it arrives… wow. You’ll be completely blown away. We adore our R2… thank you so much!
