Can anyone tell if there's anything new on Dooku or Fisto? Looks like R2 has the jet thrusters in his legs like R5-D4 came with in that Target-exclusive droid pack; the new single release R2 from a year or two ago didn't have those thrusters.
@enigmaticclarity I could be wrong, as I haven't taken the time to do a comparison yet, but I don't think so. At most, Dooku might be a little bit better face printing (not that the original is at all bad), but he appears to be the same other than that. The colors on Kit maaaaay be a tad darker, but that could also be the lighting of the official photos- he looks like he has a little more of an orange hue there, but in the livestream, he looked the same (and they even said he was the same as the previous release). Was hoping for at least a Jedi robe for him or something, but alas. I doubt we'll see a new Kit, unless they do a CW version for a Clones of the Republic pack one day.
It did strike me as a little odd that they'd take the time to give R2 new parts, but nobody else. Not even the aforementioned cloak for Kit, which (I assume) would've been easy to include.

They already did that for R5-D4, so all they had to do was use his legs and his thruster effects instead of the ones they originally put on R2 in 2023. So my guess is there was no new design time or new molds needed for that upgrade.
