Bucket (R1-J5)
Star Wars Resistance - Hasbro
"Resistance" isn't that difficult for me when it comes to new Star Wars media nowadays. (Thanks, Rian Johnson!) But who doesn't love a new astromech droid every now and then? Especially one with a very different aesthetic. Finally, Episode 1 Threepio has a buddy for the droid nudist colony on Malastare!
I have no idea what Bucket's story is, nor do I care to know. He looks cool and has an interesting range of motion for a small figure. His middle "leg" can be extended and contracted (watch out, droid nudist colony), tilting "feet", his "neck" is on a ball joint that can tilt and swivel, and he has ball-jointed "shoulders." Shoulders on an astromech? I guess the outer casing is movement prohibiting for fully fleshed-out droids. It definitely gives him more expression for an animated series character.
The pilot helmet is not removable, but the guy he came packed with is. Into the junk drawer, loser! If you like the Resistance show (why?) or collect droids, Bucket alone is worth picking up. He's the new co-pilot for my Star Tours Speeder!
