Tax/Tariff Free V5 R2-D2– AI Remoted Life Size StarWars Compatible (promoted) For Sale

LIFE-SIZE R2-D2 (V5): HANDMADE, MOVIE-ACCURATE, FULLY UPGRADEABLE

Built by hand in our studios since 2001. Over 500 Astromechs delivered worldwide since 2019. 4 studios · 11 craftsmen · every unit made to order, 1:1, for one owner.

Every part is serviceable and upgradeable, for life. Break something in five years? Order the replacement and bolt it straight on. Decide later that you want a feature you skipped, or one that didn't exist when you ordered years ago? We integrate it into your existing unit. Your droid grows with you instead of being frozen the day it arrives. Nobody else in this field offers that, locally or internationally.

Built to outlive you. No 3D-printed resin. No fiberglass. Polystone castings over a custom steel skeleton, polyurethane based. 3D-printed pieces typically degrade within 5 years and fiberglass resin within 10 to 15 by the nature of the material. Ours loses 4.78% structural integrity over 80 years.

Automotive-grade finish, not model paint. We work inside the automotive paint industry, with OEM systems (Glasurit / Sikkens / Standox) and RAL colour matching, applied in 2K with protective clear coats. The same standard that goes on a hypersport car, on a piece that lives indoors, or outdoors if you prefer.

Future-ready by design. Every V5 ships AI-ready, with the integration board and sockets already built in. So if you didn't include the AI in first place, you can simply order it later, no matter when you bought your droid.

And we stand behind it forever: lifetime spare parts, lifetime 24/7 technical support with a direct line to our engineers, and a Certificate of Authenticity signed by the master builders who built your droid by hand, over hundreds of hours.

📩 Message us anytime. We answer every question, before the sale and for the lifetime of your droid.

EXHIBITION MODES: INCLUDED FREE IN EVERY V5 UNIT

Onboard sensors detect people passing nearby and he responds on his own: random sound, dome movement, or full choreography combining head, sound and (on driving units) feet, drawn from over 1,000 combinations.

Fully configurable. In a tight corner, set him to dome-only. At a party, let him run the full routine. Switch it off and he's a perfect statue again. You can also drive him from the remote while Exhibition Mode is running.

This isn't an add-on we charge for. It comes free with every V5 unit we build.

FINISH

Custom Weathering (movie-accurate R2 colours, scratched metal look)$590Custom Paint, any colour or theme$850Liquid Chrome Titanium, multi-layer chrome for dome and parts$220

Liquid Chrome is the best-value option we sell. A specialty multi-layer system, 96% real metal content, that reads as polished titanium rather than paint, indistinguishable from real metal side by side. And weathering applied over it reveals genuine metal underneath, exactly like the screen droid.

All paint work carries unlimited revision rights: we finish, you review photos, we adjust and revise until you approve.

THE AI SYSTEM: A REAL DROID, NOT A REPLICA

This is where he stops being a replica and becomes an actual droid.

Runs on industrial NVIDIA AI hardware and a full array of integrated sensors and modules installed inside the unit. Private AI models run entirely onboard, so he thinks for himself, with no cloud dependency. Three stackable levels:

AI Voice Kit: $3,740 Dedicated mainboard, speaker and microphone, and the new AI remote with screen included. Real spoken conversation, in any language, in his own R2 character. Ask him anything and he genuinely answers: he understands, replies naturally, and remembers past conversations. Prefer authenticity? Set him to reply in R2 beeps and read the translation on the remote screen, exactly like an X-wing cockpit display.

AI Vision Kit: $1,350 (requires Voice) Onboard cameras. He sees the room, understands context, recognizes faces, so he knows who you are. Includes Sentry mode: reacting to passers-by, greeting them, stopping them, joking with them.

AI Full Autonomous Kit: $950 (requires Voice + Vision) The AI takes direct command of his boards. He roams on his own, comes when called (or ignores you with attitude, just like the real R2), finds an object or a person you ask for, follows you through the house, and operates every tool he has.

The new-generation remote with 7" screen carries dedicated software and animations, text responses, and a live view of what his cameras are seeing. Ask him where you left your keys and he'll go find them and show you on screen.

Software improvements arrive as remote updates for as long as the system keeps evolving, so your droid keeps getting better long after it reaches you.

LIMITED PRODUCTION: MONTHLY BUILD BATCHES

We don't mass produce. We build in limited monthly batches, a fixed number of units per batch, because we want every droid to get the bench hours it deserves. When a batch fills, ordering closes until the next one opens. If you order without telling us otherwise, your unit goes into the very next batch.

Build time: 4 to 36 weeks depending on the build. A simple DIY statue kit sits at the short end, a fully-loaded AI unit with dome tools and custom paint at the long end. The build time shown on this listing is the accurate one for this configuration.

We share photos and video at every major production stage, and you can ask for an update at any time in between, just message us. Before anything ships, you receive a full completion video for your approval. Nothing leaves the workshop until you approve everything.

📩 Message us to check current batch availability.

SHIPPING & CUSTOMS

Shipped worldwide, fully insured, in 4 custom-built protective crates.

Every unit travels as an original handmade sculpture under HS code 9703.90.00.00 (Chapter 97, duty-free artwork). We prepare all customs paperwork and handle the entire import process for you at no cost, including pre-approval with the destination customs authority where applicable. Most countries clear these with no tax or tariffs at all: the US, Canada, Australia, the UK, most of Europe and most of Asia.

Assembly on arrival takes about 15 minutes for finished units. Just add batteries and switch him on.

PAYMENT

orders are paid upfront at checkout, and your payment sits safely in 's system until you receive and approve your unit.

Because these are made-to-order builds that take months to complete, we're used to working with flexible payment arrangements: instalments spread across the production months, or a small deposit to begin with the balance settled once your unit is finished and you've approved it. You can simply pay across the build time rather than saving up first, and end up with a finished droid.If you'd like a configuration different from the one listed, or want to discuss how the payment structure could work for your build, message us and we'll send you a custom offer for exactly the specification you want.

📩 Message us for details, or search our name to find us.

READY?

📩 Message us, we'd love to hear what you have in mind.

We can build almost anything custom: display platforms, R5 domes, kinetic wall mounts, real SCOMP link interfaces, one-of-one character themes and complete custom droids.

Add your preferred finish to the order notes. No note means Factory New.

Thank you for trusting us with a dream piece. Building Astromechs isn't just our job, it's the reason this workshop exists.

May the Force be with you!
