R2-711 Takara Tomy

“beep bweep waaaaAAAAAA!” 

R2D2 I'm not going to elaborate more about this character. Just Google and tons of information can be found. An unlikely hero in the entire Star Wars universe. R2D2 and C3PO provided a breath of much needed comic relief in a galaxy far far away when things go desperately wrong.

This is not R2D2 but another version with streaks of green in its dome. R2-7111 Bought this Takara Tommy Japan version from Jalan Jalan Japan in One City Mall. Cost me RM10.00

Unboxing








The "Power Pose" we are familiar with


The Takare Tomy version is much smaller than the Hasbro version. It is also much more solid built as it is diecast. It cannot be dropped unlike the Hasbro version, which all plastic. One drop and it will probably end up in pieces. From the left to right - Hasbro Black Series BB-8, Takara Tomy R2-711, Hasbro R2D2 and Hasbro 3.75 inches K-3PO


R2D2 has ascended to more than pop culture and can be found everywhere. An icon in his own right. Picture below (from the internet), 2015 Nippon Airways Boeing 787-9 in R2D2 livery
