Sideshow’s 1/6th Scale R5-D4

May 5, 2015 | Disney, Sideshow Toys | 0 comments

I never understood when, in Star Wars: A New Hope, Luke Skywalker said "This R2 unit has a bad motivator". Did he not know that it was actually an R5 unit? Or did they just make up the name R5-D4 when Kenner needed a name to sell the Star Wars toy line.

Sideshow Collectibles has announced that they are taking pre-orders for the upcoming R5-D4 1/6th scale figure that's expected to begin shipping around March 2016. It retails for $139.99 and will fit in perfectly beside their already released R2-D2 figure. Though it is slightly larger, measuring in at roughly 8.6 inches tall from antenna to treads. The figure features Red’s distinctive trapezoid-shaped head features authentic holographic details, and can swivel nearly 360 degrees, while a magnetic restraining bolt grants access to a variety of compartments and hinged panels. Notoriously plagued with malfunctions, he also suffers a pop-up “bad motivator”.

The R5-D4 1/6th Scale figure features:

Highly detailed R5 series Astromech sculpt
Rotating head
Pop up 'Bad motivator' feature
Articulated terrain tread legs
Articulated and retractable third tread leg
Three body compartments with hinged panels
Restraining bolt
