We’ll happily report anything Star Wars related at Forever Geek, but when it’s been R2-D2 related we’ve been restricted to themed pepper mills, cameras and desktop trash cans.

Thankfully that’s about to change, with news that a faithful 1:6 replica of R2:D2 is due to be available in June 2010 — that’s just five-and-a-bit months away.

This limited edition model will feature eight special attachments including a periscope scanner, gripper and saw. There are slots for a light sabre and scopes in the head, while the torso has opening panels and the arms can be removed.

Each R2-D2 is hand-painted, numbered and comes with a certificate of authenticity.

It’s not clear how many will be made, but if you’re keen it’s definitely worth pre-ordering now.

Cost $158.99.
