1/6 Hot Toys - MMS 650D46/651 - Star Wars Episode II: AOTC - C3PO & R2D2 Collectible Figures

[Deeznutz6]

Why would we need another dooku?
Mace is a must at this point

 

[ebor]

Mace...and a detached head Jango

...and FINALLY...the figure OTD...

Jar Jar Binks!

Agreed. I highly doubt they'll do another Dooku this soon. I'm thinking Kit Fisto will finally go up for PO, Mace, Padme and hopefully some other Jedi.

 

[DarkChocobi]

Padme is 100% inevitable. That Thor Love & Thunder is approaching very near, Natalie hs will be effectively utilized.

 

[Brett Banner]

Can’t believe they’re giving us an AOTC version of C-3PO before an OT version. Hot Toys is really messing with us at this point.

I mean why not? They re-released 40th Anniversary ESB editions of Boba Fett and Darth Vader. Plus Dooku sells for high prices in the aftermarket.

Dooku isn't in the same category as Vader and Fett. And they just made him a couple years ago. If you don't have him you must not have wanted him very bad. HT needs to be focusing their limited resources on characters who haven't been made.

Of course the first Hot Toys C-3PO would be the very film specific AOTC version.

I hope they don’t do a shiny Clone that’s solely locked to AOTC so that there’s no Phase 2 helmet.

I don’t see them making a ton of figures regardless, but it would be a good time for the Padme and Battle Droids they teased.

Typical HT...release the version no one wants...it ships...one week later they announce the OT...

We could be dead by then.

I honestly didn't even realize this would be the first HT C-3PO. Strange decision but at least it's different.

For the shiny Clone, I feel like they could do Phase 1 only since I don't associate the Phase 2 helmet with being clean.

The same applies to both Vader and Fett from ESB. They were made shortly before the 40th Anniversary editions.

Also I missed out on Dooku. Doesn’t mean I didn’t want him I just prioritized other figures more and missed him before he sold out.

Also I would say he’s one of the more memorable aspects of Episode II. A re-release wouldn’t hurt at all and again judging by what he sells for now people are willing to buy him so there’s probably some demand.

I will say if this 3PO comes with an interchangeable battle droid head and blaster then I would be very intrigued lol.

 

[Brett Banner]

Is this confirmation then that Hot Toys could never figure out how to do the gold chrome look to make an OT C-3PO?

 

[user 72759]

Is it possible there's some weird licensing moats around certain OT characters? I think it's really odd they haven't made a 1:6 3P0 or shrunken their near perfect 1/4 Vader into a 1:6 figure and their ARE competing Sideshow offerings.

An interchangeable Battle Droid head and a blaster would actually be fun ideas for accessories for this particular version of 3PO.

That would seem weird if they couldn’t figure it out. Tamashi’s 3PO is gold chromed.

 

[Gipetto0812]

Rusty 3PO before ANH 3PO is a crime. I’ll take R2 reissue though

 

[Deinonychus]

Zam Wessell incoming. Just using the same parts as Ms Shand.

 

[Gipetto0812]

Wonder if we’ll get a Dooku reissue
