VC25 R2-D2 Cardback Variant

Proving that they are willing to address their mistakes (from time to time) Hasbro corrected the “First Issue” error on the back of the VC25 R2-D2 card. The 2010 cardback photo has been replaced with a more standard inset photo there are other typographical and design changes as well. Click the image above for a look at the side by side comparison and see if you can spot them all.

Toyguide Update: VC25 R2-D2

The Yakface Toyguide updates resume today with the addition of R2-D2 from the Vintage Collection’s Return of the Jedi wave (Wave 3).

PROS: After 7 years, this is a great second attempt at the “BAR2-D2” figure. The drink tray is far superior to the previous version in terms of sculpt and the ability to remove the individual glasses. Loaded with accessories and features to re-enact other scenes from the Original Trilogy.

CONS: Little pieces can be easy to loose if not careful. Dome rotation is limited when lightsaber or periscope accessories are in use. Smaller scale seems unnecessary at this stage of the hobby.

Head to the toyguide for the full image gallery and judge for yourself whether this figure is worth adding to your collection.
