Hot Toys MMS701 C-3PO (ROTJ)

[Mandible]

Mine finally arrived. Personally, the best 3PO by a long shot. I don't have the Tama anymore (sold it at it's peak) after seeing issues I couldn't unsee, and I also had the Medicom (which wasn't bad, but too small), and for my money, the HT destroys everything else.

The head seems to be the hardest thing to get right, and this feels the closest we've ever had. Most of the others have tended to over sculpt the features of the face and make all the convex and concave lines too severe. Feels good on this.

The gold color looks epic in hand and reminds me a lot of the coloring for the ANH trading cards and promotion photos. Also the first scene on the Tantive IV.

Yup, head is too small, eyes are too big and too close together, but as an overall representation, he just works in hand.

Quick couple of nasty shots with window light...

ehhhh SLIGHTLY jealous!!
I'll hate myself severely if I miss this one.
Especially with S. Crumb.

I've emailed them 3 times and no reply.
I'll keep trying through til next week.

He would look awesome with R2,Gonk and R5 and surrounded by Jawas.

Hnnnnnnn!!!

I hope you get it, it's pretty cool.

But I wouldn't stress the Crumb, it's really average. The one the came with the SSC Hutt is a lot more detailed.

Yeah frankly the included Salacious Crumb is pretty much junk. Plasticky 6" scale BS figure blown up to 1/6. The SSC Jabba V.2 Salacious blows it away, even if that one will break if you look at it wrong. The fact that neither have "real" fur was bizarre.

Even the sideshow v1 crumb is better than this in ways. This one looks like it should be on top of a pencil or something...

All I can picture now is poor Crumb with a pencil up his ass!

I guess the sculpt is so bad that it does have the appropriate look on its face.

What is the left C-3PO, is that Sideshow?

The HT 3PO really is fantastic. Great photos @Mandible!
