Premium Format C-3PO & R2-D2 Premium Format Set

[KingB]

my grievous and scout/speeder bike may disagree with you.

They are iconic though and a must have for any collection.

He did say few.

Can someone who has the regular droids PF on display please do me a massive favour. Could you please measure in inches the diamater of the base...thank you

 

[KingB]

14 1/4 inches

That's brilliant King! Much appreciated. And so begins a new project...my custom Yavin themed base for the EXclusive droids PF...and yes Sideshow...actual Yavin themed base not a plain one

Good to hear you're moving forward with this project.

Thanks Centurion needs to be done in my opinion. Just doesn't display well together on two separate bases and there is nothing remotely Yavin about them will be using the kotobukiya base as inspiration...

 

[KingB]

No prob RB.

It makes more sense compared to the generic black bases they use with every other PF.

Not sure why they said it was "Yavin themed." Seemed like a reason to sell another handful of $750 statues. The base isn't even close.

 

[Deedzy]

Good luck Roberto, I'm sure it will turn out much better than the stock bases and lift this PF to another level .

The only reason I could think of is they were the clean version, opposed to the weathered regular version.

Thanks Deedzy, to be honest I was getting a bit fed up seeing these two amazing characters so far apart from each other when on display! These two were born to be side by side and the regular was the way to go with this PF. However, my dilemma is that I love the clean shiny version so I was always torn between both versions. Obviously having shiny new droids on a sandy base just wouldn't look right so other than sell my EX in order to get a Regular version (which I was very close to doing) the only other alternative is to build me a custom base for the EX and create that Yavin theme look that Sideshow promised us but failed in doing so...

I'll post up the WIP pics as soon as guys. Thanks again for your support

I just received my replacement bodies yesterday and now it's time to destroy my others. Anyone else have to take a hammer to these? Curious what people did. Seems a shame to destroy such works of art but it's what they requested of me.

And they charge you a ridiculous amount if you don't do it by the cutoff date.

Yeah, good point.
Don't miss that date.

Good news guys, I have commissioned a fellow sculptor to build me the Yavin base that my Droids EX have longed for ever since purchasing the PF last year. Early WIP pics of the initial sculpt to follow shortly...
