These are the droids you're looking for...

No self-respecting home theater, office or hardcore Star Wars fan's collection is complete without lifesize replicas of those two lovable droids from a galaxy far, far away, C-3PO ($5950) and R2-D2 ($5450).

Sideshow Collectibles and Fred Barton Productions have teamed up to bring private collectors the most authentic 1:1 scale lifesize replicas of C-3PO and R2-D2 ever made. These droids appear to have come straight out of hyperspace right into your living room. Both figures are made out of fiberglass, feature realistic paint styles and weathered effects from the original trilogy, have moveable parts for articulation and include light and sound effects like Artoo's beeps and bloops and Threepio's famous quotes. They also both include magnetic removeable restraining bolts, just in case they attempt to flee and seek out Obi-Wan Kenobi.

Now that I'm older, those little plastic Star Wars action figures I collected as a kid seem utterly insignificant next to these. The only thing these lifesize droids are missing are the actors Kenny Baker and Anthony Daniels inside them, but that's just nitpicking.
