MORE R5-D8 INFO

Astromech Droid R5-D8 (Red Squadron) was released exclusively at Amazon.com in August 2018
The other two figures in this set were R2-D2 and R2-X2
R5-D8 was Jek Porkins' astromech droid in Star Wars: A New Hope
The mold used for R5-D8 is identical to R5-D4 but of course the paint application is different
The antenna in the dome is not removable
There are two front panels on the droid's body which can be opened, once opened the arms/tools can be pulled out by hand
The droid has two panels on the outside of each leg which can be removed but there were no booster rockets included which could be plugged in
R5-D4's dome can be rotated 360 degrees (clicking sound!), which then moves the middle leg in and out of the body
Each foot has two wheels in it which helps to balance the droid out nicely (in the 3 3/4 inch line astromech droids mostly have one wheel in each foot which sometimes makes the droids lean a bit forward or backward, this is not the case here)
There are no electronics built into the astromech droid and the front eye doesn't light up
Unfortunately astromech droid R5-D8 is undersized and it should be much bigger
R5-D8 has no balancing issues
