August 30, 2009 : R2 Blooper Reel
True confession time again - A few people have been wondering why the R2-D2 figure bank seemed to be roughly 6″ while I’ve been telling you that it is 1/4 scale. Well, to be honest, there was a teeny tiny miscommunication when we were ordering materials. Some dimensions got crossed and lost, and no one knew anything was awry until I opened a very small box and saw a very small casting. These things aren’t cheap, so I made the call to get as far into development as possible and hopefully only need one replacement casting for the factory. To assure everyone that all is well, I’ve included a picture of the piece you have all been seeing (in catalogs and at shows) standing in the shadow of the sculpt that is going to the factory.
