New Imperial Astromech Droid R2-Q5 1/6th Scale Figure available for pre-order!

Sideshowtoy.com is taking a pre-order for a new 1/6th scale figure of an Imperial astromech droid named R2-Q5. This astromech droid figure costs $140 and is expected to ship from September 2016 to November 2016.

This means that this figure is going to debut next year the same way as all of the other figures I’ve previously blogged about.

You can pre-order this R2-Q5 Imperial Astromech Droid action figure. Plus there is also a Darth Maul 1/6th scale figure available for pre-order to.

According to the details:

As everyone’s favorite astromech R2-D2 fought alongside his friends for the Rebel Alliance, his lesser known Imperial counterpart, R2-Q5, played a critical role in the background as a spy for the Galactic Empire.

Specializing in starship diagnostics and repairs, the sleek black and bronze R2 unit was charged with maintaining the Death Star’s elaborate weapons and security systems, as well as storing the Emperor’s plans against the Rebel Alliance.

Ready to roll with retractable tripedal treads, hinged panels, and an articulated light-up dome, this delightful droid is perfectly equipped to join the ranks of any Star Wars collection.
