This is an action figure completely devoid of action. He has two little "Robby the Robot" arms that extend about 3/8 of an inch and he seems to be jointed down near the bottom of his base, but the range of motion is negligible.
Lack of movement, however, is not a problem as the sculpt and deco on this figure are GREAT! It's filthy, dented, scraped, and possibly rusty. It looks like it's been out in the Tatooine desert, being man-handled (Jawa-handled?) for a long time. Very nice attention to detail on what was a background character in one scene from the first Star Wars movie.
It's also one of the larger figures that Hasbro has created in a while. Not Ephant Man large, but Gamorrean Guard-ish in proportion.
Star Wars fans should be very pleased with R1-G4. Even sci-fi fans with a fondness for robots will find something to like with this one. Those arms and the preponderance of vacuum tubes give it the feel of an old B-movie robot that seems more pneumatic than robotic.
Great job by Hasbro in making another figure just for us manic collector-types.Buy Star Wars A New Hope Figure: Tatooine Transaction R1-G4!
