My review of this very expensive piece of plastic:

Hope you ask for a replacement for the falling head.

I actually canceled this due to to much else coming.

Well, it's the one figure I could easily live without in my collection. Don't get me wrong, it's nice to have, but it being larger than I expected, some flaws in the paint and of course the issue with the head you might've seen in the video, I might've made a different decision had I seen reviews first

Because of the way they did the head, this droid doesn't actually match any on-screen droid, does it?

Supposedly it got screen time in the background on ROTJ

Even with the given issues, he still looks/photos great.

Yep he sure does!

This one really has had folks talkin'. No comments from the end of February until one comment in May. Then crickets until December.

It did but instead of the three eyes, he has protruding binocular eyes. Once again, Sideshow doesn't do their homework. If you google R5-J2, this is the first image that comes up ... [emoji52]

Another fail!

...Once again, Sideshow doesn't do their homework.

Or did the homework and decided it would be cheaper to just reuse the R5 head.

...... Profit before accuracy. The corporate American way.

This.

Agreed. I still need him in my collection.

Except this isn't R5-J2, Sideshow has it correct, J2 is the designation "made up" by Hasbro/Kenner years ago, has always been a 3 eyed unit, this isn't new, the 2 eye is unnamed I guess.
