Gentle Giant R2-KT Maquette Link






"SDCC 2014 Exclusive - Pre-Orders will Ship after the Convention
LIMIT 1 (ONE) PER ACCOUNT. DUPLICATE ORDERS WILL BE CANCELLED
R2-KT was created by Albin Johnson, founder of the 501st Legion, master droid builder Jerry Greene and the R2 Builders Club, for Johnson’s daughter Katie (the ‘KT’ in the droid’s name is a tribute to her). In real life, R2-KT makes appearances at children's hospitals, Star Wars Celebration and charity events in the southeastern United States. In the Star Wars universe, the character had a cameo in the Star Wars: The Clone Wars film, and has been made an official part of the universe’s canon.
Gentle Giant Ltd. is excited to realize our own incarnation of this character with the R2-KT Maquette.

More importantly, we’re proud to announce that $10 from each R2-KT Maquette sold will go to the San Diego Chapter of the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

Digitally sculpted by the master artisans at Gentle Giant Ltd., the R2-KT maquette uses the top photo reference available for top-notch accuracy. Cold cast in high quality polystone and hand painted, each limited edition maquette comes individually numbered and includes a matching certificate of authenticity. Available at SDCC 2014. May the Force be with you."

Folks I think this one may already be pre-order sold out, but I will definitely be looking in on this one as a few more usually show up once the convention is over.

I won't get this since it out of my focus, but it is cool because it is for a good cause.

That's great a donation will be made with purchase, just like when the action figure was released.  I was hoping we'd get a CW animated figure as an exclusive as well - I would have gladly bought another figure of this character.

Its preorder sold out already. I don't collect anything like this, but if I see one I will buy it just to support the cause.
