Astromech Droids are taken to new heights by Hasbro with this latest rendition of the little buggers... R4-G9 (Sneak Preview) proves that Hasbro can do articulation, features, and accessories all in one little droid, and with little to no drawbacks really!

Yup, Hasbro actually improved what I thought they had pretty much perfected... Astromechs! R4-G9 has the aspects I like in these droids though, and which Hasbro has proven works... Articulation. But Hasbro also incorporated the a neat method to make the 3rd leg retract and extend by twisting the dome, the lightpipe is better than ever, and he's got an accessory that's sort of innovative... But how does he measure up overall as a figure?
Well, short of him having more accessories (something all astro's could use to spice them up a bit), he really is quite nice, but just Click Right Here (http://www.jedidefender.com/reviews/previewr4g9.php) to check out the full review, and as always, share your thoughts on him if you'd like.
He's a must-have for any collection though, in this reviewer's opinion. :) I'd buy astromech droid repaints with every wave of figures that came out I think!
