R2-D2 (pop-up Lightsaber), from "Star Wars - Vintage (Figures)" collection, includes the following accessories:
R2-D2 (Pop-Up Lightsaber) is one of the figures from the final wave of the Star Wars Vintage Collection produced by the toy company KENNER. All figures from this final wave are considered extremely rare and are included among the so-called "The Last 17"—the last 17 figures released, which are the most expensive and hardest to find in the entire collection. This is because the production run for these figures was much shorter than for previous ones, so fewer units exist.
With the film trilogy now complete and no future releases in sight, KENNER made a final attempt to keep the figure line going, this time under the name "The Power of the Force," but unfortunately, the Star Wars craze was already coming to an end after several successful years.
All figures in this final wave included an exclusive coin for each character, both the new ones and the reissues from previous waves. These figures were sold in various countries, so we can find them with packaging featuring the triple logo of "Return of the Jedi"; in that case, they did not include the coin.
R2-D2 is an astromech droid in the franchise. This small droid is known for his cleverness, bravery, and technical skills. Throughout the saga, R2-D2 plays an essential role in numerous Rebel Alliance missions and is a loyal companion to key characters such as Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia.
This time, he appears with a lightsaber that he can eject from inside himself, thus recreating the scene where he throws the lightsaber to Luke inside Jabba the Hutt’s lair.
