RTKTYNREVEAL4

R2-KT was created by Albin Johnson, founder of the 501st Legion, master droid builder Jerry Greene and the R2 Builders Club, for Johnson’s daughter Katie, who tragically passed away from brain cancer in 2005 at the age of seven. In real life, R2-KT makes appearances at children’s hospitals, Star Wars Celebration and charity events in the southeastern United States. In the Star Wars universe, the character has appeared in Star Wars: The Clone Wars, and has been made an official part of the universe’s canon.

Gentle Giant Ltd. is honored to create R2-KT as part of the Star Wars maquette line. More importantly, we’re proud to announce that $10 from each R2-KT maquette sold will go to the Make-A-Wish® San Diego Chapter.

The R2-KT maquette will be sold at the Gentle Giant Booth at SDCC and will be listed for pre-order later today at this link for Premium Guild Members!  Click below for our exclusive first look at this awesome  maquette!

Star Wars Rebels Zeb Maquette from Gentle Giant LTD

Via GentleGiantLTD.com:

Star Wars Rebels continues the epic tradition of the legendary Star Wars saga with all-new exciting, action-packed adventures. It is a dark time in the galaxy, as the evil Galactic Empire tightens its grip of power from world to world. Ezra, a Force-sensitive intergalactic con artist and Chopper, a cobbled-together astromech droid with an attitude find themselves thrown into a much larger world of adventure and danger, as the Empire flexes their authority over their home world, Lothal.

Gentle Giant Ltd. is proud to bring you the first new character from the highly anticipated new animated series, Star Wars Rebels – Ezra and Chopper! Crafted by the master artisans at Gentle Giant Ltd. in the bold style of the exciting animated series, Star Wars Rebels, the Ezra and Chopper Maquette is as screen accurate as you can get! From the paint scheme on Ezra’s pilot helmet to the subtle shades of Chopper’s various reassembled parts, no detail has been overlooked. Each hand-painted piece has been cast in high-quality polystone and comes individually numbered with a matching certificate of authenticity. The new generation of Rebels have arrived!
