Legacy Wave 9 - Return of the Jedi

Looking at mine, the heads may be new too, Brent.  The bodies are re-used.

Here is a breakdown I did while ago.

[Jesse James]

Thanks Jayson.  I thought the heads were new once I opened it...  They're very snugly fit to the hats, to the point I can't get Paploo's off and haven't tried No 'Apak's.

These are some of the best decoed Ewoks ever though, outstanding. 

Someone somewhere did some simple "drybrushing" to spiff the hoods of the Marvel 3-pack Ewoks up, and man did that make a world of difference.  They're night and day figures, just with some deco to the hoods.  Kudos to whoever I saw do that, which I now forget who that was.

Does R5-C7 (B.A.D.) make an appearance anywhere in the movies / EU or is it a Hasbro creation?

[Jesse James]

Episode 1, I thought, was where he was from.  I'm no expert on that Rob, but I'm pretty sure that's his home...  One of Amidala's perhaps?

[Nicklab]

This Wookieepedia entry id's this R5 as R5-H6 from scenes on Tatooine in ATTACK OF THE CLONES.  IIRC, this droid also shows up in the Visual Dictionary for AOTC.

[Rob]

Thanks guys.  I'll stick him with the AOTC Tatooine stuff for now until I hear differently.

[Jesse James]

He's going with my Rebel Pilots, I think.  I figure everyone needs their own.

[Rob]

Sounds sacrilegious.

[Jesse James]

He's purdy...  I figure a female pilot may dig him.

Come on, Rebels love their Astromechs.  You know you want to move him down so one of the female pilots or one of the human B-Wing pilots has his own astro.

[Nicklab]

There is an R5 unit in the Home One briefing scene that's similar to this one.  But I think the markings are closer to the AOTC tatooine R5 unit.

Found this wave minus Leia at Walmart today. They still can't give us a decent ROTJ Luke 

[JES]

Good news another retailer with these. Where are you evenflow?

[Darby]

Got my set from HTS today.  Giran and the Nikto gunner are figures of the year.  Love the Ewoks, too.  Luke isn't perfect, but Leia impressed me much more than I expected.

I've been watching the AOTC Tatooine arrival scenes frame by frame and I don't see this astromech anywhere. The closest one I've seen looks more like R5-D4.
