FX-7: Medical Droid

FX-7 Medical Droid
This was one of the coolest figures. I still remember poaching this one from the back of the drug store’s stock room. His head could go up, down and swivel around 360 degrees. His main arm could swivel around 360 degrees too, and he had nine or ten other arms that poped up from his sides. I was really excited to find this figure. It was one that was a little harder to find when it first came out.

FX-7 was just so different than any of the other action figures at that time. Like most of the other cool figures, he was only in Empire Strikes Back for about 30 seconds. He would always manage to fix up my other action figures after a big battle. In my imagination, FX-7 was a caring, but misunderstood robot who couldn’t talk.
