[@NCC1371]

My favorite version of R2 that I have is the 2008 clone wars 3.75in figure simply because he has a bunch of gadgets packed into him and most figures of that size simply don’t have all that.

[@SLRstuvwxyz]

Oh wow. The lighting and sounds coming out of this figure. Amazing. 👍🏻

[@JustinsCollection]

It’s dope!

[@michaelmiller44820]

3:32 Artoo uses this arm to plug into the power socket on Cloud City

[@JustinsCollection]

He sure does!

[@kunjiklub]

Congrats on being the first to YT with this set! Really nice review especially showing us the light up and sound features

[@JustinsCollection]

Thanks!

[@hoddsy1]

Someone else showed it before him so he's the second sorry

[@NewtonDKC]

Fantastic review dude!!!! Love the detail and time you take to show each tool! I would so love it if SH Figuarts did a Deluxe Line of 6” Scale figures - their R2 is already the best but if they did a spring loaded pop up camera from the Dome and included a few more arms he'd be even more perfect!!!! And thought about being a total geek and listing what his tools did and in which scenes, but therez actually a couple I'm not sure about. The long thin multi section antenna looking arms from either side of his dome were used during the Death Star trench run to repair parts of the X-Wing controls, his taser was used to shock Salacious Crumb and break Leia's Jabba chain, the soldering arm was used to put 3PO back together after falling(blown) to pieces on Cloud City, the Sensorscope/pop up Camera was used on Dagobah in the water and in the sand under the skiff; his radar dish was used to try to find Luke on Hoth, his saw that cut you sliced open the Ewok net trap, his gripper arm wrestled Yoda for the light and many other things and his fine manipulator arm played chess with Chewie.His fold out blue chest strips were used to open the escape pod hatch. I have to go back and watch your video again as I can't remember if I'm forgetting anything (note: I am, there's at least 3 I don't remember!). LOL, wow I'm a dork. But a happy dork that loves R2-D2! :-) I used to think Sideshow was the best, but this R2 is unquestionably the best 12" scale. Amazing!!!!

[@JustinsCollection]

Thanks so much for the comment man! Heaps of awesome info there!

[@nobodysbreakfeast8398]

“to activate his 3rd leg...”

[@JustinsCollection]

Nice!

[@ser610ml]

Really the Hot Toys quality is outstanding, great to see they are so passionate for bringing these characters from the screen to real life

[@JustinsCollection]

Nice!

[@juanignaciosaiace3466]

You REALLY do apreciate it!

[@JustinsCollection]

I sure do!

[@JoelGerson1]

R2r2 uses his computer interface arm to interface with system for spaceships. He tends to use the 2 spark projectors in the clone wars to stun droids sometimes.

[@JustinsCollection]

Nice!

[@Mr_OEM_Toys]

As much as I like all the accessories, I don't think I'll ever pose him with them attached. Comparing both R2, I do prefer the force awakens one because of the patina, the oil stains, and the overall dirty look. Thanks for the comparison.

[@JustinsCollection]

No probs, I’m torn to be honest but I do think the whiter new one is my preference

[@susanwebster3866]

the arm you was asking about at about the 3:20 mark is the arm he uses to access the data port on the death star

[@JustinsCollection]

Oh yeah!

[@pugzdtr8093]

R2 is the is the only astromech that has all of those stuff, most usually have the eye camera and a hand and the key

[@JustinsCollection]

Interesting!

[@calixo638]

That’s actually very neat it’s like your own real life R2 D2 buddy

[@JustinsCollection]

Just really small

[@maxbreitenbauch6657]

That might just be one of the best hot toys this year, just for the sheer amount of features and accessories.

[@JustinsCollection]

Haha you're not wrong!

[@johnstanowski9489]

So, there's no way to turn the other lights on without having the projector lights on, too ??

[@JustinsCollection]

Justin, love the reviews! You can actually open those small blue slit panels on the front with magnets instead of your fingernails. Ive been using the magnets to get them open and its really easy and great.

Justin's Collection I guess it’s not removable. Love R2 but still on the fence. But I do think it will look good next to DX Bespin Luke

[@georgeleorgebeorge2354]

Nice, but for the price they should have included the tray from Jabba’s Sail Barge.

[@JustinsCollection]

That would have been great

[@chamoo232]

The sideshow collectible version does have that tray and a full sized table for the hologram. The dome is not metal and the paint is not quite as nice as the Hot Toys one but I paid half the price of the Hot Toys for mine. For the price difference I really can't complain.

[@rickkear7081]

Nice review as usual Justin I’m guessing they want to see if this one sells before making more droids

3:32 R2 uses that when he tries to plug into the power socket in Cloud City, before getting shocked.

[@fred_lacroix622]

been waiting for this, appreciate all the add on accessories and light up & sound features, it would have been cute if they able to make those feet roll and made the attachable lightpiece to have battery on its own so it'll light up .. but I think nothing will replace my sphero droids which serves as display piece or interactive bots in one, that is if you don't mind the difference in scaling

He does have little wheels under his feet

[@logan317b]

man i regret not getting this when it came out the prices for this now are insane

[@JustinsCollection]

Damn!

[@davidgray1974]

Sucks that Hot Toys didn't make the option to turn the hologram lights off separately. They should have included a 3rd light function to turn off the hologram light and just have the remaining lights on.

Didn’t think of that good point!

[@freemanedwards5663]

Justin's Collection its the villain from Despicable Me 3

[@corellioncrusaderproductio4679]

Interesting. The box shows the correct blue and black holoprojector, but the figure does not have it. I don't believe there is an accurate figure of R2-D2 as seen in A New Hope yet. The key defining details for the Artoo seen in A New Hope, involve certain panels. One of the panels on the back should be silver, it was placed there for the same reason as 3-PO's silver leg. His holoprojector should have a black tip, and the round housing is supposed to be blue. (The box shows the correct colors, but for some reason the actual figure omits it?) The last defining detail is the small bumps on the back of his head, above the green and yellow PSI. Those bumps are black in the original trilogy, but blue in the prequels. I'm not sure why those details are left off of every "ANH" specific artoo, when they are practically the only details that separate it from the other R2's through Star Wars. These represent the Empire Strikes Back/Return of The Jedi Artoo better than it does the A new hope Artoo. Not sure what the deal is here, lol. Thanks for the review! It's an impressive figure, but Im surprised it lacks the defining details! Happy new year man, hope you're having a good one!
