Title: 2011 Vintage Collection review on R5-D4
Post by: clone10 on March 20, 2011, 02:48:09 PM

Hello, this is my second review. A couple of weeks  ago I got R5-D4. It is a really cool figure. It is also great to see a remake of this figure because the last time they made this figure it was when the saga stuff came out. The articulation is good for a astromech, it has a swivel dome, swivel shoulders, and ankles and thats it. It also has the wheels on the bottom of the feet just like the clonewars astromechs. I would give it 8/10 ;D.

My only gripe on him was he was a Build a Droid mold, definatly made him seem a bit off with those holes on the lower body.

Still one of the cheapest ways to get a BaD...  I know the local store had one for quite a while - I'm seriously considering checking tomorrow and picking it up if it is still there.

also, forgot to mention that this R5D4 was based on the AOTC R5 and not the ANH R5, the rear three panels are NOT painted on this figure, nor were they on the superior Saga Figure....
