Kenner R5-J2 (custom)

Far from an original idea, but none the less this is a piece I am happy to have created. As I’ve said before, I’m a big fan R5-D4 and the way that the toy lives beyond his appearance in the film. With that said, he just doesn’t work with Imperials, so a simple custom was in need. Kenner vintage empire vintage action figure custom prototype droid deathstar stormtroopers

My custom take on him might be a little too accurate for a Kenner figure, but we could imagine this redeco came out a little after ROTJ, and that Kenner had access to better source material. Okay… that’s a really bad excuse, but I think he looks cooler than Hoth so there! If anyone wants to make one like mine, here’s the sticker I used below. It can be printed and attached to the droid with a good spray glue.

  1. Nice! He looks great, Chad and that sticker is very cool. I've been using old GI Joe stickers for droid decals but this one looks nice and vintagey.
