The sculpt overall is very clean and the deco has a very tight application. As R2 figures go, it&#8217;s completely adequate.<\/p>\n<p><strong>CONS:\u00a0<\/strong>A little bit bland in terms of deco &#8211; a nice wash would have served this figure better. The figure does have a slight knock against it as the ports that accept the snap-on booster rockets (when not in use) are prevalent. The absence of the booster flames from 2007 take some of the fun out of the presentation.<\/p>\n<p><strong><\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.yakfaceforums.com\/TGuide2004\/html\/TBS\/basic\/TBS_09.html\">Head to the toyguide<\/a>\u00a0for the full image gallery and to judge for yourself whether this piece is worth adding to your collection.<\/p>\n<p>You can also weigh in with your impressions on the figures we add to our toyguide on\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pages\/Yakfacecom\/202559486798?ref=mf\">facebook<\/a>\u00a0and in our\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.yakfaceforums.com\/\">forums.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The\u00a0Yakface Toyguide\u00a0updates resume today with our next entry in the The Black Series 3-3\/4\u2033 line.
