That small little detail was the deal breaker for me. I love the stand with the character plaque. R2 on both versions coming without is simply unacceptable.So it does not have a stand ?

I got mine yesterday. I love it! But holy cow, the batteries in the holo-deck thing drain fast! They started dimming before I finished taking a few photos. In MINUTES!!!
Anyway, I had to put every attachment on him... that's why I picked him up. I also have the SS & Tamashi. I like the SS, as he's with Jabba serving drinks. & I like my Tamashi, cause he goes great with the Tamashi 3P0.

..... Do you have a side-by-side with the SSC and Tamashii?

I know it's next to the Sideshow here, but the Tamashii looks monstrous in this pic. Could you take a shot of just the Tama and the HT side by side?
Yeah what is with that Hot Toys ? Why does literally every other figure come with a stand but not R2 ??
I personally don't like stands much, but if they are used, you need to have some consistency in the lineup at least.

What's funny is I wouldn't be able to say which dome was real metal between the Sphero, HT, and Tama. Only the SS there looks like it's too flat gray to be actual metal.
[...] So anyhow, I just got this figure and it's overwhelmingly good. I was very happy with the TFA R2 [...] things that bugged me with it -- [...] the slightly yellowish-green plastic and the blue panels on the dome didn't seem right, way too glossy and it seemed to cheapen the effect of the metal dome.
Will the Sideshow drink tray work on the HT one?
I had the Tama briefly before selling it off because of the dome. In hand there's no mistaking it, even from a distance IMO -- the Tama looks like glossy plastic. Beautifully finished with depth so not cheap, but glossy plastic.
I used to have the TFA and as I've already said, something about this I like better. I thought it was the cleaner white finish alone, but come to think of it maybe the blue panels were different, but I can no longer recall. This is just a very satisfying R2.
The fit an tolerances on my panels are excellent for the most part. Anything not sitting tight and flush I'd have to look for, and if anything add to the realism that this is a mechanical creature that *does* stuff.
[...]Some 3 legged stance shots as well. I do like the Tamashii's better in this configuration.[...]
Sorry it's taken so long. I've been living at work the last few days. Anyhoo, side by side with only Tamashii & HT...

Not bothered by the rivets, or the ring - it's the notches in the hinged panels that bug the crap outta me.
