Medicom's R2 and 3PO

[Puay]

Are those the Sideshow troopers in that picture? If so, the size on 3PO is about right. However, R2 is quite a bit too small compared to 3PO:

R2 standing beside the StormTroopers look like ...1:7 ...1:8 scaled?

bloody hell... hasbro made 3PO too tall compared to R2.. and now Medicom make R2 too small?? Why can't anybody get the two of them the right size... it's not like we don't have any reference material to work with

The Hasbro ones are both off by quite a bit. C-3PO is too big and R2 is too small. They're probably both off by at least half an inch. Actually the Medicom R2 looks to be similar in size to the Hasbro version. Too bad.

That's said, I'd still really like to get both of these. But I'm guessing they'll be $200+ for the pair.

I'm guessing closer to $300 for the pair with the current prices Hot Toys and SSC are asking for much less intricate figures.

the size of that R2 really sucks!!!

 

[Shropt]

Wow, after seeing the pics! To quote Luke, "What a piece of junk!"

Insulting actually. Why even bother? They look cartoony and R2 looks frickin smaller than Hasbros?!?!?

 

[EVILFACE]

They look decent, but would have to be cheap.

 

[FQRizzo]

Considering they were developing these at the same time, why couldn't Medicom have gotten the scale right, at least between these two figures?

They look decent, but would have to be cheap.

And they most definitely won't be.

At long last... but not sure if this will scale well with the SS storm trooper.

C-3PO looks a bit small, but R2 seems really small.

Bummer... could be mixing the Medicom C-3PO with the Hasbro R2 would balance out.

Wow they do look too small. But then again, isn't that a problem Medicom has been plagued with for some time? Guess they still have trouble making true 1/6 scale stuff.

 

[galactiboy]

Medicom is funny, because some of their SW figures were closer to true 1/6, then others aren't.
