pop up R2 question

[gustie]

just noticed on my pop up saber R2.. the piece of plastic thats screwed inside to do the click noise and hold the legs in place is light blue, you can see this clearly without taking it apart...


is this usual??

reason i ask is my glasslite one has white and this one is blue...

 

[jezza124]

HOW DO U SEE IT?

 

[gustie]

look above both legs mate - u can see a small tab of plastic that holds the legs into place

 

[snagbar]

mine are both white

 

[Lee]

White on mine as well.

 

[gustie]

strange....

anyone else got this with blue???

 

[jezza124]

all my r2's are white gus ??????

 

[gustie]

wonder if this blue part is unusual in any way?

 

[spoons]

I hate to trot out the normal reply - but isn't it just discolouring?

 

[Bollux]

is that the Droids version?

 

[Joe]

Maybe the original owner (child) coloured it in with a pen? ...

Either that or discoloration.

 

[Bollux]

you are clutching at variant straws now mate, come on! :lol:

 

[tiefighterboy]

you are clutching at variant straws now mate, come on! :lol:

No just has alot of time on his hands...looking up R2's skirt and such. :lol:

 

[Bollux]

dirty little droid felcher

 

[gustie]

yeah yeah


i wasnt looking to invent a variant

just wondered why its blue

i might dissmantle it to see if its discoloured or if all of its blue

 

[gustie]

is that the Droids version?

none are droids ones mate

 

[gustie]

ok....


here is pics of the blue part - it looks molded BLUE for sure

joe - if a kid had coloured it blue im sure the sticker would have been first to get ruined

sticker is mint and non yellowed.

discoloured? i really dont think so - this is a MINTY R2 pop up

 

[Joe]

Cool that you dismantled it Gustie, yep definitely molded in blue plastic!

Never seen anything like that before , even Bryan over on RS says its not common!

Hold on to it mate

And I wasn't trying to be cocky with the pen theory, I was just trying to think rationally! Honest !

 

[gustie]

hah

i didnt see it as cocky....

but anything can happen right?

 

[tiefighterboy]

Taking figures apart now to find a variant......Where will you guys stop at?? :lol:
