The Medicom RAH 1/6 scale C-3P0 and R2-D2 figures, due in the 3rd quarter this year, are now available for pre-order. Both feature LED lights and articulation. R2-D2’s 3rd leg is retractable, and he can stand on 2 legs.

Hasbro held its Collector Briefing yesterday, and this morning I’ll cover the update from the Star Wars team. (Yesterday evening I posted updates for the Marvel properties – Iron Man 2, Marvel Universe, Spider-Man, and Super Hero Squad – and G.I. Joe.)

For Star Wars, 2010 will be a more focused year – the comic book packs and Galactic Heroes Cinema Scenes will go on hiatus in the fall – but will still be a celebration of the brand. This year is the 30th anniversary of The Empire Strikes Back, and to commemorate that, Hasbro is relaunching the Vintage Collection of modern figures with vintage-styled card backs.

Thanks to the good guys at OAFE for tweeting this, because I probably wouldn’t have seen it otherwise.
Although the write-up is a little ambiguous, there looks to be some articulation on this 1/6 scale “statue” of R2-D2. From the pics, it looks like the dome swivels, and all the panels on it can be closed – I am hoping that’s true of the panels on the body too. With all the attachments, this looks like a great piece for any Star Wars collector.
Fully-Loaded R2-D2 Coming Soon from Gentle Giant

Coming in Spring, 2010, Gentle Giant releases a deluxe version of everyone’s favorite astromech droid complete with eight accessories!
Periscope scanner, mechanical gripper, utility saw, Luke’s Return of the Jedi lightsaber and more can all be assembled into the statue’s exposed chest or dome panels. Measuring seven inches tall, this 1/6th scale Poly Stone statue is hand painted and will be a limited edition.
Look for this amazing new piece early next year!
