Sideshow 1/6 R2-D2

Nope. Never controlled the red/blue light separately. Just on and off for that particular bulb.

Yeah. I just watched it again. One touch turns the blinking lights on, second touch turns the projector on.

Touch? Mine needs to be turned clockwise one full rotation to switch between on/projector/off

Here's where the confusion comes in...

So to get it on, some people just have to touch the dome while others have to give it good twist?

Any simultaneous action required around the seam area?

What does everyone make of that slop of silver paint on the left of Artoo's largest eye? It's on the production sample that StarWars.com, Rebelscum, and Yodasnews all received.

So I'm wondering, is that about as far up as the life scanner and periscope extend? In all the pics I've seen so far, they never seem to extend up as high as they should, which would be annoying as the life scanner is probably my favorite R2 gadget to see deployed.

Yep. Its a painting technique called weathering.

The only problem with that is there's no weathering or paint chipping anywhere else on the dome (and the weathering we see elsewhere on the figure is very subtle). Which means that one area on the eye stands out a LOT more than it should right now.

Give this man some extension...

Christ, seam, incorrect height on scanner, no sounds, no color inside compartments, drink fluid already inside cup, no girth, bad silver dome...

CANCELLED!!!!

All is looking well in GGC's video! Looking at the RS pic with 3P0, proportions may be off an 1/8" here and there. It may not be unadulterated perfection, but it's damn good and the best we've gotten so far. Really, there aren't any guarantees that HT could do it better if they offer their own. Nice to see how well this turned out!

 

[D. Martin]

LOL. After reading through this I started a closer examination and yes. there is a touch pad. A shame the instruction sheet doesn't clearly describe how to do things.I never watched the video...

Althe best we've gotten so far.

OK, reordered!!!

It's a nice.... touch, yes?

It wasn't my persuasive words. You were on the fence ready to tip. Admit it

 

[TonTon]

Can you indicate on this R2 where I'm supposed to touch to turn it on? Can't figure it out.

I've tried a few times to extend it further, but I've had no luck. I recall the Battle Droid being the same way when I got early samples. They maaaaaay go higher, but for fear of breaking them I haven't been able to.

Heads Up! A friend of mine advised me with regards to turning on the lights by tapping the left blue panel;
1) Tap 1-opens all the lights except the projector light.
2) Tap 2-opens the projector light.
3) Tap 3-closes all the lights.

and he said there's a bonus feature too.
The sensor is sensitive that hovering your finger over the panel can turn on the lights as in sequence mentioned above.
It's like using "the force" thing.

Still waiting mine and with all the fuzz going on about it still a good choice and the best to date. Can't wait to display it with my HT Bespin Luke!

This looks more like a young, punkish Jamie Lee Curtis than R2. I guess it's the Hot Toys version.

Right about where the third leg would extend should do it, listen for an audible beep

 

[PopCultKid]

Wow, Jamie Lee Curtis is still hot

 

[GeneralZodLives]

Try touching one of her domes.
