Jeez..wouldn’t pay more than $150 for this character..some people are too crazy wanting every insignificant SW character in their collection

This probably will never see a PO anyways.

Anyway, a green-and-white repaint would definitely pop on the shelf more.

I don't see myself getting this, but the green & white from the Tantive IV scene would be more difficult to dismiss. This is all hand-waving anyway -- I don't see this getting produced.

I love Astromechs. I’d order and pay for this right now. I’m actually shocked SSC didn’t bother really hitting those R2 variants like this. I have a feeling he’ll have less bells and whistles than R2-D2 and probably be around $175

I’d rather see them make the Battle droids from AOTC instead of useless droids that are just there for background in the films

I’ve always loved the background characters, aliens, troopers and “useless” droids more than the hero characters.

I hate to be that guy, but as a total astromech geek, I must, heh. That shot is actually from a deleted scene/alternate take, which was never in the film. I9 is visible in ANH, although very briefly, and he almost blends into the background. He can be seen rolling by in the Yavin hangar during the scene where Han is loading his "reward" onto the transport, and Luke begins to chastise him.



Kind of surprised they went with this one first over R4-M9, but glad to see even obscure droids aren't out of the realm of possibility. Gimme more!

What's really funny is that in ANH, astromechs could be rebel or Imperial regardless of color, but then someone decided that in ESB and ROTJ that the Empire had black droids and the rebels did not. So there's lots of villainous-black "Empire-ish" droids working for the rebels in ANH.

Blame Kenner.

Blame Kenner.

You know what

I didn’t think about it..but Kenner did start doing too many characters from the OT back in the day

 

[D.R.37]

Blame Kenner.

Pre-tty much

Wonder if they repainted the same droid for various scenes, or did they built each color?

(green/white, red/white, black)

How could hot toys not have a Tusken raider yet? My favorite character design from the original trilogy.
