A Closer Look
Final Thoughts
The Mattel Imaginext R2-D2 Interactive Star Wars toy is quite large, standing at around 59cm when all extended.
It comes with 3 AA batteries (which is useful) and there is a switch on the rear side for power off or two different volume options. You need to fit R2-D2’s feet when you take him out of the box, but they just click into place easily.
C3-PO sits on a power pad – when you turn him one way, lights, sounds and R2-D2’s projectile arm and spinning saw blade appear from the front. You can use the supplied projectile disks to fire around the room, just slot them in place and press to launch.
Turning C3-PO the other way puts the arm and blade away.
Mattel Imaginext R2-D2 Interactive Star Wars toy is a great toy for young Star Wars fans – perhaps this is the droid you’re looking for.
The Mattel Imaginext R2-D2 Interactive Star Wars toy is available now priced around £79.99 from the Disney Store.
