If they did it the way Tama did, then yes. If they did it the way SSC did, then no. hard to say based on these pics.

A lot has been said about 3P0 looking round, preggers, more high waisted...
I noticed Anthony Daniels is not as 'slim' as he once was in real life & probably
it shows when he is wearing the suit this present day. Probably (just maybe) Hot Toys is 'that' accurate! LOL!!

Now that im looking at my collection, im gonna need more than one R2.
You are in luck then. No less than three licenced companies have (or soon will) one in their line-up.

I noticed this too in the film. His torso is noticeably bigger. I just figured they made it that way with Anthony Daniels putting on a few pounds over the years.
In some ways the slight chubbiness is a homage to the passage of time - like a grey-bearded Luke and old Han. Even the men behind the suits got old.
My excitement for these outweighs the angry feeling of having been ripped off for buying wrongthumbs Threepio and seamhead R2. I'm in. Especially if they do a two-pack.
After getting my Threepio and seeing the thumb debacle in hand I promised I would never buy another Sideshow Star Wars sixth scale figure again. I've been tempted since, but now, there will be no temptation ever again. HT all the way.

Threepio at STGCC.
Definitely has a bit of a paunch, but looks great. Awesome photos, reuters.

Insufferable S.O.B.
Did he eat R2?
Isn't it just that he's leaning back, thus his belly area is sticking out?

I'm fairly new to the Hot Toys collecting game. I've been contemplating about whether or not I should wait until this version is released or just get the Tamashii version as soon as I can. I would appreciate a more experienced opinion on which is the better option. Thanks.

If price is no concern or you can find a deal then get the Tamashii, it is remarkable still. But if you want the TFA version of 3p0 & don't mind waiting maybe a year or so then wait for HT to release this version. I have the Tama & don't want the red arm or slightly chunkier 3p0 myself. Plus I have my doubts about HT improving on the Tama for their OT 3p0 significantly enough to need to upgrade. And welcome to the forum!

In all honesty, I would prefer a less chunky original trilogy version. Judging by the pics of the Episode VII figure, I think one way hot toys could improve upon Tamashii by making the plating look more worn. Based on what you said, I would I'd probably go with Tamashii if it wasn't for R2-D2. Do you think he would be a situation like BB-8 where you have to get the two pack? the Tamashii R2 looks like it's never coming out at this point. Thanks for your help. I really appreciate it.

I'm glad I never bought the sideshow's 'weird thumbs' version of C-3PO. Hopefully Hot Toys puts this up for order soon.
