Diecast Missile-Firing R2-D2 (Photo Box)
I believe this piece is an earlier release of the more commonly released Rocket Firing R2-D2. While the later releases had Artoo in a blue window box with a still of the famous Droid couple, this release was in a normal box with just the figure shown. Japanese consumers didget a bigger bang for their buck as R2-D2 came packaged with very phallic firing rockets!
