Yep, the LEGO Star Wars R2-D2 set (75379) does have a rotating head. It's a cool feature that fans love, giving you a chance to both play around with it and make it look great on display. The set has 1,050 pieces, and once you put it all together, it stands about 24 cm tall.
Besides the spinning head, it also has some other neat features like a detachable third leg and tools you can attach. This gives you some flexibility in how you want it to look or play with it.
One special touch in this set is the 25th Anniversary minifigure of Darth Malak. It's a treat for fans of the "Knights of the Old Republic" game and collectors who like the less mainstream characters. According to our research, this minifigure comes with a red lightsaber and some unique details like a pearl silver jaw and intricate head tattoos that are pretty true to the character.
There's also a plaque that gives details about R2-D2, which is a nice finishing touch when you're showing off your build. While it might not have the complexity of the larger Ultimate Collector Series models, it strikes a nice balance between being affordable and collectible.
It’s a great pick if you’re not looking to splurge on something pricier but still want something detailed.
From what we've seen, people are generally happy with this set, commenting on the build quality and its reasonable price. The only minor gripe seems to be around some of the sticker colors not matching perfectly, but it doesn't seem to be a big deal.
Overall, the LEGO Star Wars R2-D2 set offers a fun building experience and is a great addition for any Star Wars or LEGO fan’s collection.
