Medicom's R2 and 3PO

[Kuzeh]

Can I ask how much Kuzeh?

I posted long ago R2 was listed on evilbay (w/o box) for $89 + shipping. The seller had three he let go at that price but I seen nothing since.

I seen Threepio for $200 (w/o box) with free shipping which is still well overpriced IMO.

I wish I would have acted sooner on the R2 deal. By the time the seller responded to my question he was sold out of all three

Yep, I got one of those... I didn't hesitate, I've hesitated in the past and regretted it... so this time around I pulled the trigger almost immediately.

As for 3PO I got it for $145.00 shipped which was a killer deal IMO,
I saw a couple of more around that price afterwards but now they seem to be gone.

I've seen just as much nitpicking on the SS and HT figure threads in the short time I've been here.

Trolls are one thing - just don't feed them. But others who have negative things to say are mostly just people like me who are disappointed in aspects of a figure they would love to have bought but consider these details deal breakers. Or they're collectors with a stack of SS figures and would love these two to be able to slot in well with their SW displays but for the scale.

Just keep being positive - your enthusiasm for a figure might be enough to convert them

Again, sorry, but I don't understand why people would be disappointed unless you're a newbie to Medicom. They've been doing their SW figures in this scale for years. If they change the scale, they would look out of proportion within their own line....

And a lot o f the usual negativity comes from people who just likes to bash Medi and don't even own any of their SW figures, not your case I'm sure!

Wonder how long until these are GC eligible

Very happy with these guys!

For scale.. yep they are a bit small, but I really dont mind and find them to be very well done. All that matters is that they look awesome on my shelf!

This set looks so amazing! Medicom has definitely outdone themselves and really shown off what they do best! A very tempting set. I hope Sideshow is paying attention.

And I love what you've done with Barack! He looks like he's going out to take care of some Republicans!

All snark aside, that picture is awesome.

Unless you're on the boat.

How little R2 is next to Obama.

 

[DSD]

Amazing photography skills there Master Monkey!

How little R2 is next to Obama.

That R2 trash can is almost the same scale to real people that Medi's R2 is to Obamalamadingdong.

Beautifully crisp shots MM.

Love the above one.

Brilliant pics!
The more I see these two droids, the better I like them.

They are pretty nice 1/7 scale figures. They're like articulated, lighted versions of the Kotobukiya vinyl figures... except less accurate and more than twice as much $.

Yes yes, we get it... can we go back to looking at the pretty pictures now?

Whoa, whoa, whoa... Are you really going to come with that after your tour of duty in the Hot Toys Alien threads???

Seeing those sweet pics of 3PO make me even sadder about his bug eye problem.

 

[Mad Old Lu]

Stunning photographs, MM!

Agreed, no matter what you think of the figures those are some sweet pics.

Amazing pictures dude!!
They do look awesome!!!

And no, they aren't @ 1/7 scale either... for such a scale-freak you should know better!

 

[IrishJedi]

I was being facetious, sir.

 

[jediknight120]

They're "Medi-scale".




I'm sorry, I tried to resist.

You Sir, do have a point.

However, in the aforementioned thread and discussions, there were people arguing that the HT alien was accurate, nay, some even went so far as to state it was the best representation of the alien!
I merely felt it was my duty to point out the inaccuracies of HT's effort, championing the cause for accuracy.

I don't think any fans here are saying Medicom's efforts are the most accurate or denying the scale is off. Thus, your constant reminding of the scale issues is tantamount to trolling IMveryHO.

Be that as it may, I concede your point and rightful derision and shall do my utmost to avoid such behavior in the future.
