1/6 Hot Toys Rogue One: K-2SO

[D.R.37]

I'm pretty sure it will be like the Deathtroopers. Top of the helmet pops off and there's a tiny switch. Easy access. I don't own any Ironmans (ironmens?) but I heard their switches were also like that.

ok sounds pretty easy. i think on the deathtrooper the cover is held in place magnetically.

I have zero other RO figures... and I've figured I would cancel this guy so many times... but every time I look at him I really love the design. It really feels like something that would have come out of 1977.

Its quite likely that this is the only figure that I get for the unappreciated masterpiece that is Rogue One.

This is just FYI; I only own one modern IM armor figure so they might have changed things for the recent releases, but the old IM figures have a bulb in the neck that lights up the head, the button to turn this light on and off is located in the back under the breaking flaps.

The DT like you said have the switch under the to part of the helmet/head, so who knows how K2 lights up.

Love this design, too. Also loved the character in the film. It was a great surprise.

If not mistaken, it was my initial pre-order from this line.

It'll be funny if The Han Solo movie is a train wreck and Hot Toys thinks OK perhaps we better go back and do some more Rogue One figs !!

 

[Wor-Gar]

That's the only way Cassian will happen.

 

[Khev]

Especially if the Han movie really does come out 10 months from now. Then there will be a rare 18 months until the next SW flick hits after that. Force Friday 2018 won't be leading up to anything coming out that same year and it might be a good time for them to plug some existing holes from previous films.

 

[TurdFurgusonsHat]

Won't happen because Hot Toys likely just does what disney mandates. And the mouse will want to push that Solo merch! Folks need to let go of Cassian, it's not happening. Only hardcore star wars nerds will remember his name in a couple years. He will be known as that guy in that movie with Jyn.

So what. "Hardcore SW nerds" are the only ones buying *any* of these figures. It's not like random people on the street remember Tarkin's name or some buried Holiday Special that aired once in 1978.

oh ok. I hope they'd place K2's on his head. Would be the easiest to avoid wires coming up through his skinny Droid neck. Either way I can't wait to get this guy! My main concern was how solid are his joint gonna be? Hopefully he can stand up without his base.

Best light up implementation by far has been Sideshow's C3PO. Yeah, I said it, Sideshows.

 

[D.R.37]

Not familiar with SSC 3PO's setup. How'd they do his?

Tap the back of his head and the lights come on. No visible button at all.

 

[D.R.37]

Ahh yes just like the R2 units touch sensor. The on/off toggle switch is based in the head too I'm guessing?

Now that would be gold !!

The toggle yes. But with decent batteries you can leave it on and just use the soft on/off. It's a great feature that doesn't require you to dismantle your figure.

 

[D.R.37]

My R2's only get switched on when I take photos. Otherwise I replace that plastic tab in fear of battery leakage. I figure leaving them "on" could cause that? All my other figs i remove the batts when not in use.

HT stopped having bulbs in the neck years ago. Nowadays, their Iron Man light-up heads have all the electronics in the head itself, including the switch and battery compartment.
