Thank you to FanHome for providing their Street Fighter Subscription Box #1 for review.
Availability: 2021
The shipment comes in a standard subscription shipping box, with the FanHome logo on the front.
Once opened, you see the brochures on top, such as the introductory letter, and some details about the subscription (see the video above). The brochures give you information about all of the subscriptions being offered, along with images as a preview of what else is available.
The poster opens up and gives you information about the features of this R2-D2 model, including a larger look at it all put together. The back of the poster gives you a look at the free gifts that will be sent out through your subscription of the R2-D2 model, which is part of the overall offerings included in a full subscription.
The first two magazines are included, each with different information about R2-D2 and the brand, including information about robotics and how they got these droids to work in the films. The last few pages of each magazine are detailed instructions about the assembly of each of the parts, including the LED light, and the right leg.
Once put together, the assembly for the first two parts are as shown, as specified in the magazines and explained in much more detail in the video above.
Overall, FanHome has done a fantastic job on these with the overall quality, attention to detail and overall fun of assembly. Subscriptions are available now, so make sure to get in on this and build your Astromech droid. My recommendation would be to subscribe, especially if you are looking to build something fun.
