Any guesses how R2D2 will be handled in the MM universe ... assuming that he won't be excluded.... I'm only asking since it would be clear departure from the standard MM body, regardless of how stylized he would be.
Any rumors? Hopes?
Anybody?
My MM C3PO keeps looking around in vain for his sidekick ..

Hello and welcome Mightyfanatic!
It's funny you should ask, because we will be at this years San Diego Comic Con and plan on cornering the Hasbro team with questions such as the R2 issue. We'll hopefully have an exclusive interview or two and get some of those questions answered for ya!

I don't see R2 being possible with the MM mold. I think Hasbro is going to have to get creative and possibly make a modified MM mold like they did for Yoda with shorter legs. once they have that astromech mold they could repaint it a dozen times and give us an astromech in every color of the rainbow from Mace's purple R4-M6 to Kit's green R4-H5. and you know what? I'd buy em all!

See my thread.. "a stand in for R2" for a surprisingly good temporary solution (in scale with the MM and making r2 sounds!). At least if Hasbro comes up with a less than creative interpretation of R2, we have something to fall back upon (and I think he displays fine with the C3PO MM)

i would like to see r2 show up as a comic con or previews exclusive... even more exclusive than peter parker. a really nice matallic paint job like the movie iron man would be sweet too. and then i'd like to see a customizer put a light on him...LOL .... yeah i know... im a dreamer

I'd be more surprised if Hasbro decided to make EVERY OTHER character in the SW universe and omit R2D2... ;D Actually, I'm surprised we haven't seen him already ..... (even if there might be discussions going on right now between the head designer and the project manager on the appropriate way to go ... size, changes to mugg shape, etc....) |
