Kenner "R2-D2" and Hasbro "Watto"


Collected these vintage figures last week and they are Kenner "R2-D2" and Hasbro "Watto".

As I do not want to spend so much money on 1/6 scale R2-D2, I picked up the one released by Kenner in 1997. For Watto, I find it is an interesting creature and I will display it together with young Anakin Skywalker on shelves :)

Good alternative bro. How much did you get them for? Can share? What can the R2 do?

I paid both for S$80. The packaging of R2-D2 stated that it has retractable legs. I still have not opened the box yet.

This R2D2 is decent enough so I guess it's big than the usual action figures. Watto didn't look like most people will go for but it's definitely an interesting character (cute to certain extent).

Dennis, you are absolutely right. R2-D2 is pretty big as compared to 12inch figures. Watto is not very popular to most collectors :)

Yes Asrul, it will be expensive if Hot Toys did that. Anyway, I was very lucky to pick it up from my favourite toy shop :P
