I don’t think you can fully appreciate this figure until you see it in person. That shine is amazing! The grime doesn’t bother me at all. I’m happy.

It’s awesome and might be my overall favorite hot toy right now. If it wasn’t so much I’d get a second for endor. With the die cast and weight it feels like you actually get your money’s worth.

with natural light ...

Been really trying to figure out what is wrong in the sculpt of the head of this figure. In trying to carefully match the size of the torso/shoulders in ref pics, it seems like the head is close to 10% undersized, while the eyes are the correct size - even if they appear slightly too large because the head is slightly undersized.

The actual sculpting inaccuracies (ie if you correct for the undersize scale) seem to be the eyes being too close together - giving a slightly Harry Potter glasses vibe - and the head being slightly too rounded, needing to be slightly more stretched vertically, ie a narrower oval.

I've been searching for a 3PO 3D file to see if I can get a 3D printed faceplate that might fit onto the back side of the existing HT head in the same way the HT one does. If correctly sized the print head would intrude a bit too much into that "ear frame" that surrounds 3PO's head at the ear line but shouldn't be hugely noticeable, maybe a little over 1mm all the way around.

I think the head of 3po is the most difficult thing to recreate.

I just can't keep my eyes off thisguy

Same , famille pic!
