  I love this but wouldn't an easier solution for the head be that they just make a torso piece with a single stud in the middle. Would mean all existing heads would work with the updated body and have the additional turn feature

  Honestly, I think an updated Lego R2 would just need a new body mold that's slightly taller and adds a turntable connection.

  My way of updating the figure would simply be making the body only have 1 stud, and removing the cutouts from the heads. It would mean that new droid parts and old droid parts would be incompatible, but it'd keep the lego-like appearance (instead of looking like an action figure), and still look good next to older droids.

  For the head connection, I would have done a 2x2 round jumper for the top, instead of a neck bar Mainly because the normal Droid body is a good part for building, a full neck bar I think limits that

  The head I think stands out in a weird way because it doesn’t have the stud, and also because one cannot really see how it looks with print applied on. I think Artoo’s head would be worthy of dual molding, but only on its black eye so that the print can have continuity. Lego has retired very useful parts in the past, but I don’t know why not create a swiveling system for its head and body. After all, there’s no other use for Jabba, the Rancor, blasters or the mando helmets and yet they’ve been created

  Ok but hear me out, the body doesn't need the full neck piece, just a single center stud. Then it's compatible with all previous heads as well and still swivels. I'm personally fine with the classic heads, gotta have the stud on top for it to look lego right? lol. And I don't think the legs need so much detail. If anything, they could simply add some minor print details to them to spice them up. You use K2-S0 as an example, but even he uses the same basic arms and legs as the battle droids, and he looks fantastic. I will however say, I think some of the other astromech droid types could use some better representation for sure, maybe even some T3 or T7 droids.

  @elecmagpulse73853 күн бұрын

  I think LEGO’s reason for not making a torso that allows R2’s head to rotate is because it would block the slot. R2’s torso, as well as any other piece that allows two pins to be inserted in a similar fashion, has a slot where the pins would touch, presumably as another way of removing the pins should they get stuck. Chopper’s body doesn’t have a top slot, but there is one on the bottom. In theory, they might be able to make a piece to go under a modified single connection point Chopper body, but then there’d be a visible seam and printing gap where the two pieces connect.

  I don't think artoo needs a complete redesign. I think he needs to at least keep the stud on top of the head. Also instead of the head pole use a stud that way that piece could definitely be used as something else. I think Lego's artoo is an iconic minifigure like Kenners artoo. I'd love to see more 3d printed things though like heads for Simpsons minifigures we never got or even futurama and family guy heads. Maybe even wallace and gromit or giving the toy story 4 minifigures 3d heads like the older ones had.

  I’ve gotta say, this custom is in a weird spot for me. I LOVE the body having a standard neck peg now, the slightly more detailed legs are fine, and the extra leg attachment is perfect for non-studded surfaces, but the head is weird for me. While I think that the 3D bits ARE more accurate to R2, it just doesn’t feel very LEGO to me, since I think they’d still try to find a way to keep using the existing head. It also means that any time they want to make a new droid, they need to mold a new head instead of just making a new print, which might not be something LEGO is willing to do for more one-off astromechs. Even still though, THE biggest issue for me is the removal of the stud. That kind of takes a LOT away from the LEGO feel of the figure, and it means you now can’t have things on top of R2. If I had to make one single change to this, it would be readding the stud to the head. I think that would also make the new 3D bits look less out of place, and overall make it feel more LEGO.

  @Caosespacial25718 сағат бұрын

  I agreed in everything, it would be asier and more lego-ish to just remade the 2x2 dome without the cut-outs and keep @TommyCFigs' head antistud in the middle, it would be way easier to find new uses for this part.

  I think changing the black accent/outlines on the prints to a dark blue could be the best compromise, perhaps alongside the transparent legs. It would kind of represent the glow in a way without being overbearing
