Those shots make 3PO look really nice, except for the head. 
Such a shame the head is so off, since the rest looks really good there.

Edit: found a better comparison pic.
The shape of the mouth and eyes is what stands out for me.
I see what you're saying, and I would add the thickness of the neck to the list of "errors". But come on, it's still Threepio. It even has virtually the same expression in the two pics you posted.
The spirit and overall look is there. I can live with the mouth being a little squared off. The eyes are the right shape IMO, it's actually the sunken bits underneath that are "wrong".

Best 1/7th scale droids ever!
Honestly, they did a great job. I wish I could just buy these and be done with it.

Another true case of ignorance is bliss. Again, if it was not pointed out i would have never noticed.
But anyways these pics sold me...https://instinctoy.blog73.fc2.com/blog-entry-894.html#
I have no interest in perfect scale, these looks like beauty's only issue is price and i'm positive these will be had for no more than 150$(or less if patient) a pop in not much time.(and that's totally worth it) Either that or they will be hard to find lol.

Yeah, the Kotobukiya ones are better. But I'm positive the Medicom ones are going to be bigger than those, at least. They were way too small to use with 1/6 scale figures.
I handled the actual pieces while setting up the Sideshow booth at SDCC, and they are noticably larger than the Koto pieces. Yes, they are still a bit compact next to Sideshow, but not too badly. And they are droids, so it's slightly forgivable.
If not for the price on these, I'd gladly get them. They were both amazing in hand, except Threepio seemed a little too orangey for me.
As for Sideshow making the droids, they've already confirmed it. The SDCC panel video even showed some of the upcoming droids in the 1/6 line. Why would they not make these.

These are the best pics for viewing IMO (lots)

I have the Kotobukiya droids set as well and they are among the few non-Imperials items in my collection. They are superb.

These 2 Medicom Droids look great. But their prices are too much.
Personally I think Medi has outdone themselves on these two. They are the nicest looking figures I've seen them make and the light up features are great and something I don't ever see SS doing even if they make them.
Scale issue aside I just don't see anything wrong with them after watching that video. I'm really curious to see these next to some SS figures.
