• This R2-D2 figure was released in June 2024 single carded
• The figure is a clean version of the previously released VC149 R2-D2 figure from 2019
• The front of the packaging changed slightly while the back of the card is drastically different
• The VC number 149 on the back of the card however was kept for this release, so that means there are two different versions on the market, the one from 2019 and this 2024 version, which share the same collector number
• For this R2-D2 figure Hasbro used the popular build-a-droid sculpt which means the droid can be taken apart into several parts: the dome, 2 outer legs, 1 middle leg, 1 body
• R2's dome can be rotated 360°
• There are no hidden panels or gadgets built into the droid
• The middle leg can be unplugged
• All three feet have small wheels in the bottom so that the droid can be rolled around
• The paint application looks fairly basic, but it matches the movie call-out on the packaging
• R2-D2 stands very safely on display without any balancing issues
• Considering that this droid sculpt is more than a decade old it holds up quite well

A skilled starship mechanic and fighter pilot's assistant, R2-D2 formed an unlikely but enduring friendship with the fussy protocol droid C-3PO.
