Interested in seeing the scale comparison to the SS one.

Looks good but happy with my SS.
Honestly doesn't look any nicer than the SS one to my eyes.
I totally looked right passed this being new because of the SS one. 
Needs some dirt.

Yeah this is the key point for me. The SSC I love but it was just a bit too underscale to my eye.
Yes, he's too clean for sure.
Sideshow nailed this one. I just don’t see the point. It actually looks really cheap.

Same here. They look identical.

What's so great about this droid. Played no great role in a movie. D class character at best.

Arfive is the one of the most important characters in the entire saga.
He manufactured his malfunction to enable Artoo to join Threepio, and thereby bring about the events that followed.
I also think the Sideshow version was a good figure. He was such an improvement over their Artoo. I know HT are just re-purposing the body they have, but this would be a waste of a figure slot when it comes to scheduling production.
D'oh!

Does this also have a bad motivator...?
Pass!

I've been on the fence about picking up an R5 for awhile now. But I can still get one of the sideshow versions on eBay for about $250 AU, so I'll see what this one comes with.

Doubt this will go for pre order. I would be annoyed too if it went up for order and yet we still do not have the Death Star trooper.
I have the Sideshow version and I am happy with it.

While I agree this will probably not see the light of day, if it does, I'm getting him. Had the SS, he was just too small. Bespin Leia surprised me before, so I'll hold out hope that a couple of these that don't seem likely, HT takes a gamble on. Princess Leia v 2nd tier droid are 2 different things, but like I mentioned in another about the Gonk, what volume sales they wouldn't get due to "popularity", they should make up in production money. No likeness fees, no tailoring, just a half size piece of plastic. Hasbro did them for like $12. Can't be that expensive comparatively, but they'll still charge HT pricing. They'd make out just fine. So HT, if you're basing support on determining which actually gets PO'd, one more thumbs up for R5. Come on, he's original 20.

I also got the Sideshow version on sale some time. Also prefer the SS dirty weathered look to the pristine white plastic look myself.

The HT R2 was marginally bigger than the SSC R2, so I'm hoping the HT R5 might follow suit.
