| Final Thoughts: |
Ah man...After opening this figure,
it's a good thing Hasbro mentioned that Luke, Vader and Snowtrooper
are the LAST of the Action Feature Figures. How could they do
this to our fave little trash can? First off, His body and legs
are all ONE piece of plastic. NO acrticulation here. If that
isn't bad enough, why not take away the trademark Chrome Dome
as well. "We will just use grey paint instead - no one will
notice". Uh-huh. "Wait...I think people might complain
a little so let's add a pivot in the feet to prevent a riot".
We can't move them more then 1 degree in each direction but at
least they aren't glue on right? (Niubniub rolls his eyes)
When you push the center leg up, his booster rockets pop out
the side legs. OK I admit, this is A LOT better then the Episode
1 with reveal panels, but the gimmick removes the leg articulation.
There is only ONE pose for this R2. :(
Now for the Action feature...Pull the string under his center
foot, and he zooms up the thread like when opening your venetian
blinds. Up, Down, up, Down. Woohoo. I'm having SO much fun. LOL.
I know - I know, it's aimed for KIDS PLAY. But I can BET that
after 2 minutes, the child will NEVER pull that string again.
I will even wager that they stick the pipe holding the thread
up the foot and can't pull it out anymore (Like I just did).
:D this R2 is for the TRASH. Save your money and wait for a new
R2 without Action features.
