Hasbro Star Wars Episode 1 R2-A6 with Metalized Dome

I've been collecting models of Astromech droids. So, when I saw this one, and at the very reasonable price I was able to purchase it for, I immediately ordered it.I'm actually quite impressed for the price. The model has pretty decent detail. The head does turn, but you have to use a little strength to move it. I don't know if R2-A6 actually had a shiny chrome dome, but it looks good anyway!The model is 6 1/2" tall - the same size as the Sphero R2-Q5 - and you can see it in my picture.There are a few minor quibbles. The wires on the feet are molded on instead of being separate parts, like on my other droids. Also, the angle at which it stands on three feet is a bit different than the other models. The third leg is retractable. There are very free-rolling wheels on the bottom of all three feet.I really think this is a good little droid to add to your collection if you can get it at a good price. It doesn't make sounds or can be controlled by a smartphone, but as a display piece, having a green version of R2-D2, is really unique!

I bought this for my 2.5 year old daughter. She's never seen Star Wars but I have an R2-D2 cooler and an R2-D2 trash bin. When she first saw the cooler she asked me what it was. I said it was a robot. She walked over to it, hugged it, and said "I love you robot!". She started referring to the larger cooler as "daddy's robot" and the smaller trash bin as her own robot. I had been looking for an R2-KT toy but they are very expensive. I saw this R2-A6 and since green is my favorite color I thought this would make a good gift from daddy. She loves it!Not mentioned in the description is that there are wheels on the bottom of the feet. Also, the feet pivot. Those are both cool features but one disappointment is that the dome doesn't rotate, it's fixed in place. All in all my daughter and I are very happy. I think she'll like it even more when she sees R2-D2 on screen and hears the noises he makes.One last thing I should mention. This is part of the 12" toy line, it is not 12" tall. It is to scale with a 12" figure, so it's about four or five inches tall.

First off, I am very dissatisifed with this purchase. Dont get me wrong, the toy itself is awesome and mechanically sound and the box appears un-tampered with, however the toy is extremely "yellowed" as if sitting in the sun or hot place for a very long time. I was buying this for collecting purposes since I already have one "out of the box", but this one is useless to me as a collector item in this condition. I am quite upset that the add did not mention anything about this item being "yellowed"

This is a great addition to my lesser-known Star Wars robots collection, which includes R5-D4, 4-LOM, and Death Star Droid. It is well made and can be found for a pretty reasonable price.

In looking for R2-A6 unit in 1/6 scale this is a great piece to add in any collection and it makes for a great piece to talk about for any star wars fan

Great addition to my 12" collection. Paint is decent and detail is pretty good too. Looks just like a green r2-d2.

Cool little astromech droid!
