MORE INFORMATION
This Black Series R2-D2 figure was released single carded in September 2023
R2-D2 was part of Hasbro's celebration of Return Of The Jedi's 40th anniversary and was released in vintage Kenner-inspired packaging
R2-D2 is a newly sculpted figure which is accurately scaled in comparison with regular Black Series 6" figures (previous versions of R2-D2 in the Black Series line were under-scaled)
There are two vertical panels on the front of the droid which can be opened
Each panel covers three holes where the included tools/arms can be plugged in
When R2-D2 faces to the front or the back it's possible to pull the dome up and extend it upwards, this then reveals the storage area where the included accessories can be placed in
There are two additonal blue horizontal panels on the front which can be opened but there are no tools behind them which could be pulled out
There are two blue panels on the top of the dome which can be opened, this then reveals the holes where the sensorscope and the periscope can be plugged in
R2-D2 was painted well and the blue colors are lighter and more accurate to the on-screen version than on previous Black Series Artoos
The middle leg can be pulled out out the body, this way the figure can be displayed in a two or three-legged way
There are no booster rockets included which can be attached to the outside of the legs
R2-D2 was sculpted beautifully and this figure is a much needed upgrade to all the previously released astromech droids in the Black Series line simply because it's properly scaled
Unfortunately Luke Skywalker's Return Of The Jedi lightsaber hilt was not included with this release (a bit of a bummer when you consider that this figure was released in Jedi packaging for the 40th anniversary of ROTJ)
All things considered, make sure to add this version of R2-D2 to your collection, it's great
