This version of R2-D2 is my favorite. It has two major differences to most other Astromech sculpts: It's middle leg is completely removable and when you spin it's head a little antenna pops up. Unfortunately, the droid's head cannot face forward and have the antenna completely up at the same time. But I don't use the antenna anyway. It also comes with a box, a lantern and a small case. And, like all of The Saga Collection figures, it includes a mini hologram.

This little astro-mech droid is cool man! This droid is very fun to play with. My friend said he also likes the toy! Buy this toy I am serious. Star wars 3.75 Basic Figure R2-D2 is very awesome. The paint job is great. I bought this with the Count Dooku Electronic Lightsaber. But, I should cut to the chase. The top of the figure is really shiny. And looks like the actual droid!

This R2 sculpt seems to be an improvement over previous iterations. The paint was done well and the molded-in details definitely seems to have been taken from the movies. The artificial "dirt" to age the figure seems to have been done better as well, as opposed to the ham-handed methods used before. I'm glad they eschewed the sometimes literal "bells and whistles" valued-added features and stuck with solid design methods.

Well the toy is nice, it is really very different from the first one around 1980, but when I bought this toy I thought it was quite bigger, and based on that, I'm rating this guy not that good, I was expecting a bigger toy as I said, and for the price I don't think it worth it. In the picture it really looks cool and big, but it is only like 2" big. So not happy because I will need to buy another one, and bigger so it can fit my star wars helmets collection.
