Review : LEGO Star Wars 75434 K-2SO

Today we take a quick tour of the content of the LEGO Star Wars set 75434K-2SO, a box of 845 pieces currently on pre-order on the official online store at the retail price of €89,99 and which will be available from August 1, 2025.

As you probably already know, this involves assembling a model of the security droid featured in the second season of the series. Star Wars: Andor as well as in the film Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. I really liked the movie Rogue One, I enjoyed the series even more Star Wars: Andor and we can't say that the latter has been treated as it should be at LEGO with only three derivative products for two seasons: the sets 75338 Ambush on Ferrix, 75399 Rebel U-Wing Starfighter and this new feature from August 2025.

K-2SO seemed on paper to be the ideal subject for an adaptation to LEGO format and this interpretation of around forty centimeters high seems to me to live up to what one could expect.

The model certainly remains between two waters in terms of finishing, but with such a limited inventory which allows the price of the thing to be contained, one cannot decently be as demanding as in the case of a proposal of several thousand pieces sold for several hundred euros.

The droid's upper body is particularly well done, while the legs are more basic, with a lot of visible studs as a bonus. The gray discs placed at the knees are a little too noticeable for my taste, but we'll make do.

The same goes for the gray pieces placed under the upper arms; there was undoubtedly room to propose a more discreet and uniform solution, but this model is ultimately only an interpretation and the droid still looks great with correct proportions and an immediately recognizable silhouette and the presence of the most significant attributes of its anatomy.

Special mention for the head of K-2SO, however a little too small compared to the reference model, which here is composed of only a few parts with a solution based on pine whites interesting for the eyes.

The droid is installed on a neatly executed base which allows its legs to be correctly positioned and which ensures optimal stability for this thin and slender model whose weight is mainly located in the upper area.

As usual, don't spoil too much for yourself the different construction techniques used to achieve the final result; you're paying for the pleasure of discovering the solutions used to obtain this pretty, quickly assembled model that will then end its career on one of your shelves. We note in passing that LEGO insists on its stickers, and this product does not escape a few stickers that take place on the droid's chest and shoulders.

At a time when many competitors are offering fully pad-printed products, it is time for LEGO to abandon this purely technical compromise, which only benefits itself and brings nothing to the brand's customers, with the risk of seeing these stickers damaged and peeling off over time due to light, heat and dust. This purely exhibition product with limited functionality deserved better on this point.

As you will have understood, the droid has fixed legs and can only move its arms and head. This is enough to be able to display it with a more or less dynamic pose and direct its gaze where you want. It comes with a separate support that allows you to display the presentation plate which, as usual, displays some facts as well as the figurine identical to the one delivered since May 2025 in the set 75399 Rebel U-Wing Starfighter (594 pieces - 69,99 €).

I still think that the graphic design of these small plates has had its day and that it would be time to evolve it into something more modern, knowing that LEGO has generalized the presence of this element initially reserved for products in the range Ultimate Collector Series to a whole series of derivative products that could probably have done without it.

Regarding the scale of the droid, don't expect anything consistent: It measures 41 cm tall and if we consider that the droid of the set 75398 C-3PO which is 38 cm tall and is human-sized, this version of K-2SO is then a little too small compared to the 2m16 of the droid seen on screen.

It is obvious that K-2SO is not a droid of the caliber of C-3PO or R2-D2 in the Star Wars universe and many fans will inevitably consider this product dispensable and at the very least less attractive than the sets based on the flagship trilogies.

But if you enjoyed the series Star Wars: Andor and trailer Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, you know that this droid fully deserves its place in the LEGO universe. The manufacturer had already timidly paid tribute to it in 2016 with the set 75120K-2SO (169 pieces - €24,99) and this new interpretation which treats the subject a little more seriously seems to me to be both sufficiently detailed and relatively accessible to consider that the character is finally entitled to a convincing treatment.

As for me, I'm not objective and I'm happy to see something other than the usual reissues coming to the LEGO Star Wars range. So I'm more lenient about the few flaws and other notable approximations here and I know that it will soon be possible to get this pretty model for a little less elsewhere than on the official online store.
