The 2nd installment in my 'Astroview' series
R3-Y2
InfoModel: R3 Astromech Droid
Main selling feature: Milatary uses
Destroyed on: Hoth ( presumably)
Comments: Not much known about this r3 unit that was active on echo base ( writing fan fiction story)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------Lets start of with this guy !
ColorationVery intersting color scheme on this Droid
The body is mainly an off white color , with army green panels with silver andmarine blue accents here and there .his dome is transclusent( as with most R3 Droids ) and allows you too see the superior
Intellex-V computer brain that R3's had te rest of the dome is accented with green panels a black Optical sensor and some gold and silver detailing , His legs are casted in this medium tan/brown color with some army green and silver accents to make it 'Pop' a bit , there are some white details on the feet , the 3rd leg is tan with some white accents on the foot and some blue above it ( which intrigues me since its the only a handfull or droids appear to have colored detail on the upper' part of the 3rd leg.
Overall a very cool color scheme in my opinion
------------------------------------------------------------------------ArticulationPretty basic but... ah hell ! He's an astromech so
* 360' Hip rotation
* 360 Head rotation ( It clicks)
* Swivel ankles and ( On all 3 legs)
* Retrectable 3rd leg
------------------------------------------------------------------------FeaturesHis head clicks... thats it
------------------------------------------------------------------------Pro's* Very cool color scheme
* Very orignial impressive paintjob ( Lots of detail)
* Rare so the Collectibility level is high
------------------------------------------------------------------------Cons'* Older mold its around 10-15 Years old , so some limitation due to it's age ( No foot cabels and a slighty 'streched' look due to the 3rd leg design)
* Rare .. well its expensive loose and its even more expensive in the packs
------------------------------------------------------------------------VerdictA very nice droid with a very vibrant color scheme , not really a well known droid... Probably the least well known droid out of the Astromech packs ( along with R2-M5) , If your not into Astro's ...Pass this and buy a cheap R2 which probably has a better mold than this guy . But if your an Astromech addict like me .. You'll love him ... Actually he's my favorite Astromech along with R2-X2 , R4-I9 , R5-K6 and R3-O1 ( R3-M3)
------------------------------------------------------------------------Overall score Regular collectors ( 3/10)
Astro whores ( 8/10)
Cheers and thanks for reading
