Wow, fantastic update. You will see on the front page I was partial to R2. That looks great, just like I envisioned.
Thanks a bunch Tamer , to answer your question Hasbro did make this figure which is what is pictured . It was offered as a toys r us exclusive . It came with luke And his X-wing along with Vader and his Tie fighter . To my knowledge it wasnt a good seller . Anyhow I just did a quick paint job to enhance r2 and dremmeled out part of the body to have a real looking arm coming out of the body ! Glad you like it .

Very Nice Mr Jedi, especially the Twin Pod Cloud Car Pilot and Death Star Gunner, his chest plate looks removable, if thats the case an added bonus for removable gear.

Thank you Foxtrot  The gunners armor is removable . I used a tie fighter pilot sanded down the chest plate both front and back. I never liked the arms on this figure when it first came out

Well done mate, these are awesome, I'm loving your work on the Emperor!
 I appreciate the words ...The emperor was one i have wanted to do for a long time i just needed to work up the courage to take apart an expensive figure but it paid off and i am happy !

Thank you Sjefke the best reference believe it or not was the actual scene in the movie lol i watched it a few times then paused it . other than that would be to google the image under M-YHD droid  which aren't the best quality .

Great stuff Artie, I'm particularly fond of the Emperor... :D Have done a custom version of him a while ago as well (one of the figures Hasbro never got right ;) ), have you considered the ROTS hood for him? I found it pretty appropriate... Great work especially on the head/hair, didn't go that far with my version...
