R2 always gets the fame. Why isn't 3PO mentioned first? Well probably because he's well, you know. R2 is so much cooler, that's why! This is part of the old Fundimensions paintable figurine series. There was no assembly so I'll go right to painting. I based it in flat white and went from there. I painted R2 like all of the other R2 kits and 3PO like all of the other 3PO kits. So if you would like to read about painting, just see any other write up about them. I got this kit in a lot for just a couple bucks total.
