This R2-D2 action figure was released in
2012 in the Movie Heroes toy line.
Hasbro gave the figure five joints and included
no accessories.
Here is what we noticed when we took a closer look at the Droid:
- R2-D2 is a repaint of the ROTS R2-D2 from the year 2005, with some slight modifications made to it
- Modifications compared to the 2005 release are: new electronic beeps and whistles, new back panel without a screw so the battery can't be replaced, new dirty paint application
- The sounds are triggered by pressing the button on the front of the droid, it also lights up R2's eye
- The dome can't be rotated due to the electronics inside the dome
- The middle leg is not removable
- The paint application on the droid and the weathering looks great
- The sounds come out of the hole in the top of the dome
The articulation details are as follows: 2 swivel legs, 3 swivel ankles
