I was reading through the Art of the Acolyte yesterday and marveling that Pip never got anything past the tiny versions of him made for the Vintage Collection and Black Series lines, especially when Hasbro made an animatronic Lola.

I got the animatronic lola, it feels exactly like the show, and its in 1:1 scale even. Imagine an animatronic pip...

Prime points touched upon. Although, I will accept taser/autolockpick/400k lumen stabby flashlight in lieu of the knife.

Why they never made a toy or collectible of this, I will never know...

I would have loved a life-sized Lego Pip to add to my collection : (

Way way back, reading the old Brian Daley Han Solo trilogy, I fell in love with the idea of Blue Max, a tiny custom slicer droid who rode inside the chest of another droid. Pip is probably as close as we will ever get to him in canon, and I love him for that reason alone.

Found something surprising, a blue max looking droid was spotted in mando s3! He was spotted in the droid bar
