Astromech Action Figures are Packed in an R2-D2 Box Full of Awesome

Growing up, my favorite Star Wars characters were Luke Skywalker and R2-D2. In addition to being incredibly versatile, R2 seemed to have more to say with all his beeps and boops than the other characters that had actual words to say. Fans of R2-D2 and his astromech droid pals will want to check out this sweet Star Wars The Black Series Astromech Droids action figure boxed set.

The set includes six droids from different Star Wars films and shows. The each measure 3-3/4″ tall, and they come packed in a 16-inch tall R2-D2-shaped box.

The droid action figures include Jabba’s bartender droid, R7-F5, QT-KT, R7-D4, R2-C2, each from The Clone Wars, and R2-A5, another white and green robot that was in the original 1977 film. Both Jabba’s bartender and R2-C2 include a tiny set of drink glasses and a drink dispenser.

Best of all, this Entertainment Earth exclusive set can be had for just $25.99 in mint condition. That’s a 68% savings off the original price.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Will Not Have Custom Moves

When Nintendo launched Super Smash Bros. on the Nintendo Wii U and 3DS, the version of the game came with a certain of customizability where players could modify the special moves of their characters. It also had a feature where you could actually equip items onto your characters in certain modes of the game.

However if you loved these features and wouldn’t mind seeing them return, that won’t be the case in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. This was confirmed by GameSpot in which during a hands-on demo with the game, they asked Nintendo if custom moves and equippable items would be returning, in which Nintendo stated that they won’t.

However there will be some customization afforded to gamers in the form of Spirits. These are collected by unlocking challenges on the Spirit Board, as well as through the single-player World of Light adventure mode. These Spirits will grant players a stat boost and augment them with special abilities, but you can’t customize them on the level that was available on the Wii U and 3DS.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is currently set for a release on the Nintendo Switch on the 7th of December. Considering the popularity of the franchise, safe to say that many are anticipating it. It will feature online play but you will need a subscription to the Nintendo Switch Online service to do so.
