(...) I agree. Assuming they didn't make a new 2x2 round turntable piece or stick a pin on top of his torso, they could have made a 2x2 round tile with a pin sticking up. Hmm, well maybe not. It would add further height. There's already a bit more (...) (26 years ago, 6-May-99, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) It's really a shame how badly they ruined R2. :-( I wish they would've just made the bottom of the head and the top of the body both perfectly flat (no studs at all) but with Technic peg holes. Then you just connect the head to the body using (...) (26 years ago, 6-May-99, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) R2 looks like he's wearing a neck brace. The band of white around the bottom perimiter of his head -- it shouldn't be there. The printing on his head should go all the way down to the bottom of the hemisphere and nearly touch the body parts. (...) (26 years ago, 6-May-99, to lugnet.starwars)

So your diagram on the left is/was more likely than the one on the right, or my added illustration of your idea of using a separate technic peg. (...) (...)

I don't see why people are picking on R2's graphics, I think that they are very realistic. The only thing that is really bad about him is that he's way to tall(and wide). Well at least if you call him actual size, then Anakin could definately be (...) (26 years ago, 7-May-99, to lugnet.starwars)
