1/6 Hot Toys R2-D2 (Artoo-Detoo) - TFA Version

[WhoaItsJBot]

Hot Toys loves variants, they'll do a sail barge Artoo with the drink tray and Luke's saber sooner or later.

Wish I hadn't bought the Sideshow R2 or 3PO now. I guess either I'll try and sell it or maybe use it as the version on Jabba's sail barge. I think I'll hold off on any future Star Wars releases from Sideshow going forward.

There is no two ways about this..i've been waiting for this one. This is a buy.

sorry to change topic. Is there a thread for Hot Toys TFA C-3PO? I cannot find it.

I reckon I'll hold off on the SS Maul, Hot Toys is bound to make some prequel figures eventually.

R2 will be a huge upgrade. The SSC one is nice, but a tad too toy-like for my tastes

 

[parrasmaniac]

thanks guys

Diecast dome! Remote control lights and sound! This is the R2 i've been waiting for

 

[TaliBane]

Yeah, they added the sound, DC and lights to bring R2 into the $230 range. And 3PO will be in the Chewy range - $260-ish. So yeah, a two pack will be closer to $500 than $400.

It's funny that people aren't really noticing the sculpt errors in the dome. SSC's sculpt is more accurate. Maybe they had to change things for the DC.

Really what is different on the TFA R2?

 

[Tom Day]

Of course I'll get this - because it'll be too long to wait for an OT version. I will keep the Sideshow version to use with my Dagobah Hut.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Yeah, they added ... DC ...

Possibilities:

DC comics
Daniel Craig
Diecast
District of Columbia
David Carradine

I'm really glad I held off on the SS version.

He looks great but the third leg is still too long like SS's. At least he'll be a hit with the ladies.

Does he come with a sixth scale sack to cover him up with?

That was a really weird choice - didn't quite get it. They should have just put a sad face on his eye.

No, it's just pulled out too far, like SS's. With the right posing, that won't be an issue. (And great joke! Hey-oh!)
