Sideshow has updated today revealing their 1:6 scale R5-J2 Imperial Astromech figure. As we posted on Facebook yesterday, it is interesting that the dome for this figure is technically wrong if they are using this droid as the basis for the sculpt (note the eye stalks).
Preorders rollout Feb. 25.
UPDATE: Preorders are now open
