The Yakface Toyguide updates resume today with the next addition for the 2012 “Darth Maul” product line. We continue with G8-R3 (4 of 12) from Walmart’s exclusive “Discover the Force in 3-D” collection.
PROS: Hasbro knocks one of the final Naboo starship astromechs off the “to-be-made” list with G8-R3. Since this droid uses the build-a-droid sculpt, you can incorporate/interchange its components with other B.A.D.s to create custom astromechs. For added play value, G8-R3 includes the droid power station accessory that is compatible with other astromechs and the 1999 Naboo Royal Starship vehicle/playset.
CONS: It utilizes the build-a-droid mold so it has those superfluous holes in the body, which some find unsightly. This figure is exclusive to Walmart and, as of yet, there are no plans for its release elsewhere. Its limited availability may prove to be difficult for for some collectors to find.
Head to the toyguide for the full image gallery and to judge for yourself whether this figure is worth adding to your collection.
You can also weigh in with your impressions on the figures we add to our toyguide on facebook and in our forums.
