SPONSORED LINK: Star Wars McQuarrie Concept R2-D2 And C-3PO


So Hasbro is offering fans of the Star Wars toy line the chance to grab their very own Boba Fett Prototype Armor figure as part of a free mail-away.

Featuring a much more functional take on R2-D2 and a Metropolis-inspired, Art Deco C-3PO these figures are based on the early concept sketches produced by Ralph McQuarrie in the pre-visualisation period of Star Wars' development, which I personally always thought looked so much cooler than what we ended-up with...
