SSC PF, Tamashii, Costume.
Posted this in the Tamashii Threepio thread, but thought I'd also post it here. Something about the SSC PF Threepio that has always looked a bit off to me, so started to look at ref pics...
Re: SSC PF, look at the brow/forehead on the SSC PF (area above its right eye,) then look at the costume. The SSC has nowhere near enough depth.
The eyes are not deep set enough, giving the face a too-flat look.
The "peak" at the top of his head also looks off, because the overall forehead is too sloped and not boxy enough.
The neck area just below the chin (and the too-large neck "ring") looks way off. The Tamashii looks very close.
Honestly it seems nitpicky, but I think the SSC PF is quite poorly observed, with errors all over the place. Even Threepio's "Backpack" thing isn't somewhat off, it's miles from being accurate.
All very good points.
You can also notice a gap between the front and rear hemispheres of 3PO's head. The rear half sits over the edge of the front half, but there is too much space going all the way around.
What I'm not too fond of in the Tamashii's version is the finish of the gold. It appears to have a frost finish to it and should be more mirror-like.
This is a discussion about the SSC figure, not your anticipation.
at least theres one good note on ewok seller^^^ ewok is still selling now on eBay. Aamak let me know if he gives you your money back. Should be interesting to see.
I've meet a member here for a trade in person so he can prove I'm here for real. 
. I think PT Barnum said it best.
