When I was a kid back in 1977, my favorite droid was R2-D2 of course, but my second favorite was R5-D4. I just really liked the color scheme and the design. R5 was an awesome droid. That’s why Luke almost picked him. Now you can display the best version of R5-D4 that you can buy. This Star Wars R5-D4 Sixth Scale Figure by Sideshow Collectibles is simply stunning.
Slightly larger than R2-D2, Sideshow’s R5-D4 Sixth Scale Figure measures about 8.6 inches tall from antenna to treads. The details are spot on and frankly, have me falling in love with this droid all over again. Every detail of the R5 unit is faithfully replicated, from his desert-worn exterior, to his advanced articulation. Just look at that distinctive head and authentic holographic details. That head can swivel nearly 360 degrees, while a magnetic restraining bolt grants access to a variety of compartments and hinged panels. He also suffers a pop-up “bad motivator,” which is super cool.
He is only $139.99 from Sideshow Collectibles and I’m buying one right away.
