1/6 Hot Toys R2-D2 (Artoo-Detoo) - TFA Version

[Spark Extractor]

Looks great! The lack of accessories and a base is really strange. Is this dude going to come in a box the same size as all the TFA? It would be silly to have to store a huge box for this little thing. I still like this better than SS, so the HT will be put in the ANH display and the SS will sit next to Yoda. Still hoping for the Tama R2 to get made.

I already have the SS one and I think it's pretty good, plus it comes with way more accessories and opening compartments. The paint and weathering definitely looks a lot better from HT, but I'm undecided right now if I would get it.

 

[Thainitty]

Looks really nice but I'm waiting for ep.4 r2 and 3po.....hopefully as a two pack

 

[FLOSI]

Well it looks good. $150 I might bite.

Yup... That sounds like the sweet spot.

 

[FlyAndFight]

My guess is that it will be $189.99.

 

[Hoody999]

Would be great if they could do a double pack of R2D2 and BB8. Even cooler would be if the remote could do sounds for both. I kinda like the sounds BB8 made.

 

[Wor-Gar]

$209.99

Can't be less that Leia.

 

[parrasmaniac]

My guess is that it will be $189.99.

I wish.

 

[Jbeltram4]

Wish they just made an all inclusive R2. As badly as I want this to replace SS, I'd rather hold off for OT version. Until of course it comes out and everyone shows their pictures of how awesome it is....

 

[Medusoid]

I think it'll be $220 like everything else.

 

[MikeyTheKid]

Apparently it's 1330HKd which is about $171 USD.

I think this guy is smaller than Sideshow's.

I think this guy is smaller than Sideshow's.

Size matters not....















Until you pose him next to another character

 

[parrasmaniac]

I think this guy is smaller than Sideshow's.

that is worrisome.

Anyone that has BB-8 and Sideshow R2 can post a side by side pic?

 

[The Mike]

SSC's barebones version was $120, so it'll be interesting to see how close HT gets to that cost. I expect over $150 easily because of the diecast but under $200. That's my range for ordering

 

[Bo Shrek]

I think my “sweet spot” for me is $50 less then actual price. Let me give you an example, I could not do Obi Wan for $220, but when SS had a $50 off offer $170 felt reasonable for me to make the purchase

 

[parrasmaniac]

A couple of pics for scale reference....

although we will not know for sure with these.

 

[guyver1]

Every promo I've seen on this piece this morning never hints that this is TFA version..OP needs to change the title thread

 

[epitaph04]

This may finally be the 1/6 scale droid I've been looking for. Don't care that it doesn't come with 100 accessories I'll never use...as long as the sculpt and paint is HT quality, I will probably bite.

TFA R2 is more rusted to portray 30 years of time. The sound effects are only ones used in TFA and missing some of his iconic sounds. Also no base. Not that he needs a base to stand but if every figure is on a base and R2 isn't then everything looks out of scale.
