R2-D2 UK Silver Exclusive

Thanks to good ol' eBay I was able to get my hands on this R2 variant. This figure was only available at Woolworth's in the UK as part of a Revenge of the Sith multipack.
I don't why they keep making "silver" R2s (they've done it before), or why I think they look cool. This particular version is the best yet—the VOTC sculpt, with an excellent paint job. (Even though it's all one color...) They did a good job of preserving his light-up eye, and keeping the paint from clogging his joints.
Anyway, it's one more notch in my belt as seek to collect all variations on R2-D2. But, if you're not a serious R2 fan, this one is skippable.
