Sideshow 1/6 R2-D2

[Darth Waller]

I got mine. Looks good, but all those doors and hatches are flimsy as hell. I have to open the head of mine up because his top eye popped inside the head.

 

[marker2037]

He looks great everyone. Great pics.

 

[Darth Waller]

Got the eye fixed. Popped him open and put a dab of super glue. It's not like I'll move that eye on top. Those eyes are very fragile to move around anyway.

Great pics...........

but my god that leia is is turrible. She needs an update stat.....

Yeah. She was pretty bad from the start. Hot Toys needs to make a Leia like yesterday.

Thursday can't come quick enough for me

Aloha from Hawaii
He's kinda adorable

 

[hobbitjedi]

Who will tackle a repaint first?

I can't wait to paint that panel on the back of his body silver! I am going for a new hope tatooine look!

Just for the hell of it...

Table's a nice little extra likely to go unnoticed.

OMG!!!! That seam on the table is horrible! I can't stand looking at it!! Now I'm gonna have to send him back when I get him on Thursday!!!!

(I am kidding of course....)

Mine has been on "Item Shipping Soon" since yesterday morning.

I got a notification about a problem with my payment from SS on Saturday otherwise I would have had mine by now. Now it's just trying to get their customer service to take my payment. Their CS is pretty unhelpful as they told me they're fixing it and just haven't responded to me at all after the initial interaction. It's like they don't want my money If I wasn't ordering the exclusive I probably would just cancel and buy from elsewhere.

Gotta say I'm very happy. Yes there are very delicate elements to R2 but wow he's just beautiful

Wow, suddenly I find myself really wanting to get both of these now. R2 by himself honestly doesn't interest me that much for whatever reason, but the two of them paired up together just looks way too cool to resist.

And also nice to see the middle leg pulled out the correct amount as well.

 

[Darth Waller]

This is a dumb question, but how does the panel where R2 can hide the lightsaber work?

 

[Pixelpiper]

Ah, hide the lightsaber. Brings back fond memories.

I was pretty sure it was one of those push to open deals.

Would someone pop the dome off and shoot a couple of photos of the inside of the body please?

 

[greedo737]

Can someone please post a pic of the bottom end of the saber? Mine has a hollow hole and the magnetic feature doesn't "seam" to work. I may need a new one ...

You do know you've ruined this table for several people here now, don't you?

Really nice pictures, he looks great. Looking forward to getting him.

Thanks!

Contribute some pictures and I will help you.

Are you trying the top or back/butt end of the saber? The back end is supposed to be the magnetic part (according to Sideshow's videos).

For the time being you can also use the retraining bolt to open doors.

 

[Dinosoar Daz]

To hide the lightsaber, just push the panel down and slide across



Inside Artoo



Best I can do to show magnet on the saber

Thanks for the tip!
