MORE INFORMATION

  • This six inch scale R2-D2 was released individually boxed
  • R2-D2 has three panels on top of the dome which can be removed
  • Hasbro included a sensorscope - Luke's lightsaber and a periscope with R2-D2 - which can be plugged into the holes underneath the panels in the dome
  • This works overall great - but unfortunately Luke's lightsaber can't be put all the way into the dome
  • The two outside panels on R2-D2's legs can be replaced by two booster rockets
  • There are two front panels on R2's body which can be opened - which then lets you pull out two of R2-D2's arms
  • R2-D2's dome can be rotated 360 degrees - which then moves the middle leg in our 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 - the 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 droid and the front eye doesn't light up
  • The figure is beautifully sculpted, it's very detailed and comes with a TON of accessories
  • Unfortunately R2-D2 is too small in comparison with other 6 inch scale figures
  • This very same figure was re-released by Hasbro in 2017 as part of the 40th Anniversary Collection, have a look here: R2-D2
