Sure, R2-D2 has been made before, but this is the Vanishing Point version! First we started with an excellent mesh made by John Jongsma (who is a Lightwave artist who gave us permission to convert his astromech droids). Then we added extra parts to to the model and converted it to a Poser figure... and then we went crazy with color variations. Not only does this package allow you to make R2-D2, but it also includes MAT poses to create different R2 units seen in the *Star Wars* movies: R2-A6, R2-B1, R2-D1, R2-D2, R2-D3, and more! And you can create your own R2 unit simply by changing the "base" and "trim" coloring! This R2 unit includes:
- Rotating head
- Rotating outer legs
- Rotating outer and inner feet
- Extending middle leg
- Extending outer and middle foot-wheels
- "Standing" and "moving" pose files
- Position pose to place R2 in X-Wing Fighter astromech slot (X-Wing Fighter available separately at Vanishing Point)
- Moving upper and lower middle arms
- Left and right opening door hatches
- Left extending service arm with data access module (seen in Star Wars when playing holo-chess and accessing the Death Star computer)
- Right extending service arm with claw (seen in The Empire Strikes Back when fighting with Yoda over food)
- Opening hatch in head and extending and rotating "radar" (seen in The Empire Strikes Back when searching for Luke and Han)
- Extending and rotating "sensorscope" (seen in The Empire Strikes Back when under water on Dagobah) Does not include the side rockets (seen in the Attack of the Clones droid factory scene)- R2-D2 never had these rockets until Lucas wrote himself into a corner and needed a flying robot. ;) No textures are included with this package, but please feel free to make your own. To see a LOT more renders of the original Lightwave model, please see John Jongsma's site at: http://www.glimpses-essential.com/starwars_remake/SW_Droids.htm And, yes, in the coming days, the other astromechs will also be released as Poser versions: R3, R4, R5, R6, and R7.
