Walking Wind Up R2-D2
This particular figure was only made by Takara of Japan, but it was only available, on this rather bland card, in Canada. It is truly one of the rarest carded figures to own. Rumor has it that George Lucas loved these things gave them away as gifts to folks at Lucasfilm. Although this R2 is similar to the regular action figure it is different enough to that many people consider their collection quite complete without one. Though the bootleggers that made the poster showing the complete figure line would have you believe otherwise. Of course not all of us think that it's an unnecessary figure to own.
