Product Description

R2-KT was created in 2005 to honor Katie Johnson, a very special little girl who tragically passed away from brain cancer on August 9, 2005, at the age of seven. Her father, Albin Johnson, is the founder of the 501st Legion, a Star Wars costuming fan club that performs charity work around the world. Katie had a special wish: to visit Walt Disney WorldTM. Through the generosity of the Make-A-Wish Foundation®, Katie's wish was granted. Then one more special dream came true. Katie's sister, Allie, was inspired one day while watching Attack of the Clones, in which R2-D2 watches over the sleeping Padmé. Allie thought how great it would be if Artoo could watch over Katie while she underwent treatment, and for the droid to be named "KT" after her sister. The R2 Builders Club made Allie's idea a reality by creating a unique R2 unit especially for Katie. The 501st Legion approached Hasbro with the idea of producing a figure to commemorate R2-KT.

This review is from: Star Wars: 30th Anniversary Collection Exclusives R2-KT Action Figure (Toy)

I bought this toy because I'm a HUGE Star Wars fan and love to collect everything. But I also bought it to help support Make-A-Wish and the Children's Cancer Fund. It took me forever to figure out how to extend the third leg. Rotate the droid's head. :)
I would totally recommend the toy for any SW fan.
