Sideshow 1/6 C-3PO

[Clutters]

Pre-ordered. Tamashii is too expensive.

If I can find some good audio files, I'm thinking of rigging up a base for this and the Sideshow R2 that will play some of the acerbic commentary from Anthony Daniels and Kenny Baker about each other.

R2: "He never wants to have a drink with any of us. Once when I said hello to him he just turned his back on me and said, “Can’t you see I’m having a conversation?” It was the rudest thing anyone had ever done to me. I was furious."

3PO: "I haven’t seen him for years. His name is on the credits as a sort of… I don’t know, a good luck charm, a courtesy. He’s a talisman."

Nice pic from Star Wars Facebook. But... that's a scene I won't be able to recreate with my Sideshow 3PO. The severed arm was a pretty important no-show on this figure.

Excellent photo - just made it my wallpaper.

That's can't be Daniels in the suit for this scene. I assume they had a one-armed actor but I've never heard a name.

Nah Daniels just had his arm behind his back. When they lift him up, right as the scene starts to wipe, you can kinda see something a bit fishy going on there.

Yeah, that was a huge missed opportunity for a killer exclusive. It really wouldn't have add much to the cost of production, either.

I believe it's the one time you can actually see Ben's boots.

Ironically the boots are the best part of the HT Ben.

The HT boots do look great. It almost looks like Guinness is saying, "****, my boots are showing" in that photo.

I know its a cheap substitute but i bought the hasbro masterpiece 3po with backpack cheap i can use for the detached arm scene. All the 3po parts break off and again very cheap to find. I do agree it should've been included from sideshow. I was hoping for the landspeeder release this year maybe next year i hope. I'd say almost for sure we will get the landspeeder if were going to get a falcon cockpit n falcon dio cargo area and tie fighter possibly. It's just a matter who will make the landspeeder sideshow or hot toys ?

Not sure why anyone needs a substitute -- when you put on the shoulder stump, won't you have the leftover detached arm from this SS figure?

 

[highlander1]

It's not INCLUDED and should've been the broken damaged arm. Doh i did forget about the complete arm that come's off lol. sorry lol u got me.

The severed arm definitely should have been included. I wouldn't be surprised to see someone do a 3D print of one, in the future.

By the way, that's the Kenny Baker version of R2, as you can see the tubing where his legs go.

Genius

Hardly! The arm you remove is not severed and does not have the wires coming out to match the shoulder stump.

 

[DarthRusty]

I will admit, in this photo, 3P0 does have that "Now where the Hell did I leave that thing?" look going on.


&, yes, it would've been much better to have - at the VERY least - the wired stump bit, to stick into the arm (like the stump parts from Vader, Luke, & Mace figures). However (& we won't know till we get it), we could use the leftover arm.

If we were talking a 3 3/4" figure from the late 1990's, I'd agree with you.

It has the shoulder attached and no visible wires.

^^^ - Yep, was going to say the same, yesterday, but was too lazy. Where's your thirst for screen accurate details, Wor-Gar? *grabs Wor's Nerd Club membership card and rips it up*

 

[Pixelpiper]

You guys lack imagination that Wor clearly has. A hammer will solve any issues with the stock arm having too much shoulder on it.

 

[Mike86]

Yeah the exclusive feels lazy without the damaged arm. Not sure why Sideshow didn't include it.

Profit margin. The price doesn't change on the EX.
