The Legacy Collection
Wave 12
#52
R2-X2

Accessories
R2-X2 is packaged with a build-a-droid piece.

Look and Feel
It is difficult to determine how close to accurate this droid is as he is one of those blink in miss kind of characters. Not only that, but he is in a scene in a very dark room which could distort the colors. In my opinion the droid we got needs to be a darker green, almost black. Additionally, R2-X2 has a lot of wear and tear in the white areas of his dome, but Hasbro has told us before that they have really pulled back from adding that type of detail.

Articulation
R2-X2 has a swivel dome, side legs, and hinged feet. His third leg is retractable by turning his dome. R2-X2 also has wheels.

Overall Reaction
I have a skewed thinking on this droid as I had such a terrible time finding him at the store. I also love astromechs so any chance to get one has me very happy. I do like this figure a great deal, but wonder about how accurate he is. I am also very confused as to why we got this figure in an Empire Strikes Back wave as he shows up in A New Hope. For me he was a must buy, but if you have the Entertainment Earth Astromech set you might think twice about it.
