I have to say these guys do look great. Medi's C-3PO face seems off to me, but it must be very subtle because when I look at screen caps, all the details are there. I definitely applaud Medicom for their efforts (just not their prices :(). I must concede though, if C-3PO's likeness was better and the proportions between the two droids were correct, these would have already been purchased, regardless of price.

The eyes are too close and the "rim around the head looks thicker partially because the grooves are too thick but as usual these figures are awesome in hand and these flaws get blown up when you take upclose shots and compare them with the movie stills. If my eyes had build-in zoom I would probably not have bought these but with my aging vision these will only look better with time :lol
Oh crap didn't notice the giraffe neck on this either arghhhhhhh
 
Well, I broke down and ordered these two. They just look too nice in all the pics.

10% off at Viking for R2 and over $30 in rewards points at AlterEgo for 3PO made the price more palatable. Still overpriced but, oh well, I'll finally have all the main ANH figures on my shelf now.

Yep, good calls on the likeness, they also missed the angular faceplate details around the mouth, again though awesome figures and I would jump on them if not for the scale.

pics!!!!!!!!!!!
 
I finally saw Threepio in the flesh today, and I don't think pics do the figure justice. Looks stunning to me.

However, guess how much Forbidden Planet in London were asking for it?

£290!

That, my American friends, is $461!

:exactly: Pictures don't do these figures justice. When I got mine, I was impressed how awesome these look in-hand.

:horror That price is insane, regardless how incredible the figure is.
