Review by JoshB

R4-M9 was an astromech droid which originally appeared on the Tantive IV in Star Wars IV, a New Hope. The figure was sold in 2002 as part of the Star Toys toy line and was exclusive to Disney Parks.This droid has lighter, mint-green highlights instead of the darker green seen in the film. This is because the droid is actually R2-D9, a droid featured in the queue of the Star Tours ride, hence it’s inclusion in the line. It uses the R4-M9 figure as it’s base for the repaint.To make matters worse, it’s clearly not a R2 unit.

What a coincidence. I

What a coincidence. I actually just bought this guy and a few other Star Tours Droids on Friday. I didn't know the name was wrong, not that I tend to remember these lesser known droids names anyway.
