So happy someone else shares the same amount of love for these models. These are my go-to now instead of the black series!

This set was a chore to build. But, they look great in my Black Series display. I kept R5-D4 clean, and have her next to Hoth Leia... because white? I gave R2-D2 a quick dirty black wash to look like the scene on Dagobah. I got this set on sale from Amazon in 2020. Your video was a big help... took me like 16 hours to build both.

25 dollars for two droids in really good scale, or 75 dollars for an artoo thats way too small? Hmmmmmm... Thanks robo, your review on Grievous sold me on that and on this one too.

Great video and as a regular model builder I can highly recommend the side cutters from Tamiya, that unlike the ones you use in the vid are actually flat on one side, so the cut will be much nicer than from curved ones. The Tamiya side cutters are also lightsaber sharp, and especially for the clear lens that is a huge advantage as the white distortion you experienced are pressure damage to the clear plastic from being crushed instead of cut, this is a common problem with styrene model kits as clear plastics are more crystaline in structure than coloured styrene. The cables on the feet are likely vinyl of some sort, BanDai are known to use the material a lot on their gundam kits.

ThePrettytube Excellent info, I dig learning more about this modeling thing, I really appreciate it. I did in fact get a set of Tamiya side cutters and used them on my C-3PO build. They worked great, way better than my Wal-Mart specials.

Fwoosh was underrated even then .

Fun fact: R2’s hacking tool is called a Scomplink

Thanks to your reviews, I knew these model kits, and I just bought the C-3PO and R2 with R5... it turned out that I couldn't be more happy and satisfied with them, these are fun to build and their detail at the end, pffff it's simply awesome!

Finished these guys yesterday. My 4th Bandai Star Wars kit, and easily the biggest pain in the ass, and longest, build. Worth it, though. I kept R2 clean, and finished with a gloss coat. R5 got dirty, and looks great with the final flat coat.

Nice video, came in useful for my build. So thanks. R5's eyes really are a pain to get in. I gave up on the last one and cut it and super glued it on. Also had to glue his aerial on after it snapped off after a fall on the floor. Worked out fine in the end. These are great. Eventually.

After watching this build, I am looking to add this R2 D2 as my first astromech to my black series collection

I wear bifocals, and I'd STILL need to wear four pair of reading glasses to see some of those stickers!

Have you seen the new set that has R2 and 3PO together in one kit? The R2 is amazing in that one. The coloration is completely different. The blue is a deeper navy and all the silver bits are actually painted a metallic silver instead of just being cast in grey plastic. The only drawback is that the 3PO has two gold legs instead of one silver. I just finished building them.

Samuntrus I'll have more scale pics on the Fwoosh front page tomorrow. You know I hate to say "perfect" but this nails it scale-wise. I think I'm good with R2 being like he is but R5 definitely needs some sand and dirt. Maybe I'll do that later.

I know we all get excited with new kits, but seriously I find it pays to read the instructions front to back before starting the kit, and look at the parts in accordance, that way you familiarise yourself with things before you make mistakes and go backwards, even if you scan over them lightly, you'll be surprised what you take in and reduce chances of mistakes. great models though, I have these.

Love this kit how its laid out, gotta love modern injection moulding - the multi color sprue is fantastic...about time someone did this. Here's a hint - if you're not serious modeler and don't paint this, use liquid cement not super glue on smaller parts especially clear - super glue will fog/craze the plastic. Tip for decals on curved surfaces...a drop of dish soap in your decal water bowl breaks water tension and allows easier sliding of decal on plastic. I GOTTA HAVE THIS KIT!

The arm with the white and gold tip is R2's laser welding arm, the "shocking arm" is basically a tazer and the one he used for the portsbon the death star is called a Computer Interface Arm. And then the tool for the dome other than the periscope is his life form scanner! And I have to get this model kit soon, awesome video!

Really enjoyed watching this. I haven't worked on a model since I was a kid. I might try this though.

He's dirty compared the model kit clean and shiny. Plus he comes with an R2 that's already scuffy. I already have the pair in the models but plan on getting the Figuarts, that way I can have one pair clean and one pair dirty. Less work, haha.

The figure kits, yeah.

I think they have sooo many parts to justify the big price tag. . Very cool though

I find it funny I'm literally buying this just so my clone kit can put his hand on r2's head :| although I am also buying it for r2 clearly. My question is. Is this thing scary to put together? From the video it sorta seems that way

It's scary if you're new to kits, like I was during this video. But despite that I don't really have any problems putting it together.

The Fwoosh well from building the one kit I think this could be alright just needed to make sure how it was for you. I may not be able to add little paint details on mine though. Without paint it still looks pretty nice right?

The Fwoosh sweet thanks for letting me know I'll be getting this kit so I'm excited to build it

Better scale but black series has better colouring

The Super Fumina kit uses stickers for the eyes, although it's very Anime and as such able to get away with that a bit more. That said, they also look like hot garbage.

That red on R5 looks to be the wrong red color looks too pink.

+Startrooper5555 It may be clashing a little with my green background, causing it to look a little lighter than it actually is. It's pretty red in person.

+Jose Bonilla I love the figure model kits because they fit right in with my first love: 6 inch action figures. I just don't have the room or time to do the ship models too, as awesome as they are.

Okay I see your point at cool keep up the good work as always see you on the dark side

If you have 3D Printer, you can print out 1/12th scale X-Wing fighter to put your R2 unit into www.thingiverse.com/make:484813 very accurate and detailed free model.

+Seregon72 Lack of sleep and my tendency to forget to eat? I usually stay up way to late when doing the models because I get excited and don't want to stop.

Your voice reminds me of Jeff Goldblum, but with an accent

I don't like R2 dome color needs paint

@TheFwoosh

teppest11 I went through a lot of ref pics to check scale and I noticed that the dome changes colors depending on the movie. In some shots his dome is this color, in others it's more of a chrome polished. It almost makes me want to get another kit and try some different colored mechs, maybe chrome the other R2 unit up.
