Sideshow 1/6 C-3PO

[Mike86]

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

Even so though. If they're going to do an exclusive like that they should do it right instead of half assed. Especially considering that the parts for it are already there, they'd just have to modify the upper end of the arm to show its damaged.

'Half-Assed' is Sideshow's middle name.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Good lord, people.... you really need to pay attention in class.

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

Neither does the arm people were purchasing, which is what my post was referring to.

I expect Invictus Sol to tape my nerd card back together with kisses.

Given the feedback, they'd have been better off not having done anything at all as an exclusive, so maybe in the future that's what they'll do. Hope not.

 

[Asta]

Never look a gift arm in the socket.

I'm looking forward to my extra 10% of an arm.

So.... Threepio includes a shoulder stump and half an ***?

Are there wires coming out of the *** cheek? I've seen TESB many times and don't remember C-3PO's *** getting ripped.

I would rather have two halves of an arm or two halves of an ***. I'm calling Customer Service.

They do it to themselves. Like I said if you're going to do something do it right and not half assed. Sideshow seems to have a knack for that though.

That would explain why he walks funny.

I've seen TESB many times and don't remember C-3PO's *** getting ripped.

I think it was a Snowtrooper who got his *** ripped. But Threepio was indeed responsible...

Just got a conversion on the exclusive. Wish I knew for certain if HT was making a 3PO or not...

 

[Kamandi]

Even if HT makes a c-3PO it won't include half an ***.

 

[jedijim3002]

HT would have to come up with something really special at that point for many collectors to pick up theirs instead of the already released offerings.
Disassemble option
Cargo net
Sitting Lower half
Ewok throne
Detachable lower leg
Severed arm
Both halves of his ***!

 

[Pixelpiper]

You had me at half ***.

Any of those would do it. Could also be a diecast release.

Could also be a diecast release.

I can see a TFA version... But if they ever visit the OT, IMO it's pointless without being die cast. They have to one-up Sideshow AND Tama, otherwise just skip it.

 

[WWEJedi]

A diecast 3PO would probably be $350+ by the time it is released. Not sure if I would really spend that much on 3PO.

 

[TaliBane]

Tamashii announces 3PO - "Hmm, I wonder if Sideshow will do a 3PO?"
Sideshow announces 3PO - "Hmm, I wonder if HT will do a 3PO?"
HT announces 3PO - has red arm + headsculpt on-par with HT Ben, Han and Vader.

"Hmm, need to see if I can find a good deal on that Tamashii 3PO from five years ago."

 

[WWEJedi]

If 3PO is made from TFA... how many would buy him with that red arm like that? Personally I think it looks stupid. Wish they would have kept him the same...

 

[Mike86]

I dunno at first I didn't like the red arm but the more I think about it I'm not bothered by it. It makes sense that he's seen more damage over time since he was kind of clumsy and got damaged a couple times in the Original Trilogy that he'd potentially damage his arm and would need a replacement.

But I guarantee the more you see it on a Taco Bell wrapper the more you'll like it.

He literally got blown to pieces in ESB but from there on still looked the same. I'd call it another "the same but a little different so they can make more toys" choice.

 

[Chronos1919]

For some reason the red arm on Phantom Pain 3PO appeals to me. Don't know why. A little variation I guess?
