Artoo-Detoo (R2-D2) (with pop-up light saber) was released in 1985 as part of the Power Of The Force line. He is therefore one of the renowned last 17 figures. He came with a light saber accessory that popped up when his head was turned. He also came with a coin on the Power of The Force Cardback. However, with the European tri-logo cardback he came with no coin.
He appeared in all three of the original films and this was the third version to be released.
