Something You Probably Don't Know About R2-D2 (VC25)

The jury is still kind of out about the R2-D2 (VC25) figure from The Vintage Collection. With the new smaller scale and wonky features (some will work in one mode but not others for example), R2-D2 was still good, but not perfect. JTA reader and friend Jamie D. from Canada discovered something quite interesting with this figure and has created a video to illustrate that R2-D2 isn't as limiting as once perceived. You may find new affection for him even! Click through to see a video describing what he's learned!!



So it always bothered me (and probably everyone else) that this figure had to have the third leg down in order to have the "plug" in the lightsaber port. It made it look silly if he was just sitting there, and if you angled the 2 legs, the drink tray didn't sit right. Well, I was playing around with it last night, and I discovered what I think was the intention with the drink-serving arm: you take the plug out, and put the part of the arm with the flat angled part into the hole left by the absence of the plug. This allows the third leg to stay hidden, and allows the dome to swivel!
