Non humanoid robots (These are the 'droids I am looking for)
« on: December 31, 2023, 10:54:38 AM »
There are a large number of manufacturers of humanoid robots, but I am looking for some R2 type 'droids.

Now I know about the Ainsty ones:

There are always the Imperial Assault and Legion figures. They don't get more R2 like than that :)

GZG games do some, but it looks like they're 15mm and smaller

True.

That was not the bot I was after at Salute 2017.

It's also worth going on to Shapeways and Etsy and seeing what they have.

Star Wars droid are quite a popular subject on Shapeways - https://www.shapeways.com/marketplace?type=product&q=droid

Wunkay (who make Star Schlock) have what may be a useful pack of 'Robots a Go-Go':

I just ordered a pack of these from Ebay:

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/175525242128?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=zuyjfet5ree&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=0ZbLLKaSQHS&var=474856910507&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Haven't got them yet so can't comment on the quality, but for three quid for five, I reckon I can put up with a certain degree of shonk.

Good find. I think the seller is HeadBunnyGames and I've bought stuff from them via Etsy, so the quality should be good.
