This R2-D2 figure was released single carded exclusively through Target stores in the United States
The droid had been available for several months in international markets before landing in the U.S. on store shelves in early May 2022
The packaging and the color scheme on the figure are a nod to the Star Wars: Droids - The Adventures of R2-D2 and C-3PO cartoon from the mid 1980s
The figure is a repaint of the in 2010 released R2-D2 figure
Hasbro included a periscope accessory with R2-D2 which can be plugged into an opening in the dome
When the periscope is being pushed down it'll move the middle leg out of R2's body and puts him into a 3-legged stance
When the middle leg is pushed up the periscope moves up out of the dome
The dome can be rotated 360° only when the periscope is not plugged in
The front panel on the body can be opened and one of R2-D2's tools can be manually pulled out
The included gold Lucasfilm coin looks great and is surprisingly heavy
There is a hole in the middle of the dome which has no functionality (there was no accessory included to interact with it)
R2-D2 looks pretty nice overall and the paint application is a nice throwback to the 1980s cartoon
Our beloved droid stands well on display without falling over
