This is real. This is happening. Somehow, some way, Manly Art is producing this amazing Pimp2-D2 figure as an exclusive at this weekend's New York Comic-Con. It's $50 (AND YOU BETTER HAVE HIS MONEY) but I wouldn't worry about it because this droid is going to sell out almost instantly.

I have what many of you will consider an overly PC disgust of all "pimp" costumes and accoutrement. (Let's all valorize the sale and abuse of powerless women; unironic performances of hypermasculinity are hilarious because we are all 19-year-old frat boys!) R2-D2 is better than this, and would be Halloween partying in a well-made Captain Mal or Magneto (he's got the head already) costume.
