A remote-controlled, light-up replica R2-D2 droid, constructed by the R2-D2 Builders' Club, a group of Star Wars fans dedicated to building replica R2-D2 droids, who went on to provide and oversee the R2-D2 model for Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

The model is life-size and made entirely of aluminium, with each foot housing a 24v 100W scooter motor, a rotating dome, and light effects powered by battery. The back panel can be removed for access to the electronics, and the droid can be driven via remote control, with two controllers included.

Unlike many commercially available R2-D2 replicas, this one has a dome made of aluminium rather than fibreglass, like the Artoo model used during the filming of Star Wars: A New Hope. It was also created in accordance with the Builders Club's R2.0 plans; droids made with reference to these are generally considered the best fan-built Artoo models. The droid is hand-painted, and is intentionally distressed to be as screen-accurate as possible. Dimensions: 110 cm x 75 cm x 70 cm (43.5" x 29.5" x 27.5")

Special shipping required; see special shipping notice in the Buyer's Guide.

Contains electronics; see electronics notice in the Buyer's Guide.
