Jabba’s Bartender Barge droid R2-S4M Review & Comparison Hasbro 2016 vs Disney 2023 3.75” TVC scale

I examine the rare few photo references there are to determine whether Disney or Hasbro did a better job in creating a Star Wars Vintage Collection scale droid for Jabba’s Sail Barge.

Wow I had no idea this new one was supposed to be a real droid

It’s hard to spot. Sorry for the self-promotion, but it sounds like you might enjoy my video about everybody on the Sail Barge:

As far as I know, the droids at Disney (Disney Parks) are by Hasbro. I've never know any other company to make them on Disney's behalf.

[@noskillcustoms]

That’s what I thought, too! However, the droids have NO Hasbro markings on the figures or packaging- Hasbro is not one to leave their name off stuff that’s for sure. There are a lot of products (in addition to the 3.75” droids) in the Disney stores that have no company names on them except “Disney.” So I think that Disney must just have a toy production branch. Many other UA-camrs (Bossk’s Bounty and OnlyOneKenobi for instance) when discussing the Disney 4-LOM figure.

Great comparison! Thank you! Apart from the lack of ankle-wires, the Disney version does look better, but I've already got the Hasbro multi-pack version, and I can't be bothered with trying to hunt down Dinsey Park exclusives.

ShopDisney is pretty easy to buy from, but you gotta spend $75 to get free shipping…and they don’t offer enough for sale there.

[@Beedo_Sookcool]

@@noskillcustoms Yeah, usual Disney nonsense.

Disney version looks much better
