Ah, the Death Star droid. You know, I don't think he ever showed up on the death star. I remember seeing him on the jawa sandcrawler. Well, I guess I'll be watching Star Wars today. No no, I'll wait until next friday (check the date on that guys) and make a party out of it.
According to Wookiepedia: A droid appears inside the Jawas' sandcrawler after R2-D2 is dropped in after being disabled by the Jawas in Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. A black Death Star Droid appears briefly in A New Hope walking past Han Solo, Chewbacca and Luke Skywalker outside the Death Star elevator doors.
This was one of those figures that I never really fell in love with as a kid. I had one, but he pretty much just acted as Darth Vader's protocol droid during my made-up adventures. And I always wished he could hold a weapon.
I just scored this one at Emerald City Comic Con for a whopping $4. :)
Just got my first one on ebay this year. Noticed he had kind of a weird feeling to the figure unlike the smoothness of the 3po versions just like jboy said. It was early star wars so he def gets some slack.

I think one walks by when they're waiting to get on the turbolift to the detention block.
DeleteThe paint flecking off just adds that extra nostalgia in this shot.

It was a second string favorite of mine. I think because the head is insect looking.
DeleteHad this one as a kid and used to pretend he was one of the Bounty Hunters. The lust of mine from what i remember always seemed off or lacking to me.

ReplyDeleteFor me, another figure along the lines of FX-7.
