Yeah, maybe it was part of the re-do of the suit between SW and ESB.
Maybe Sideshow puts unofficial stuff on their instagram.

So the Tama is a bit of a mixed bag? So it's C-3PO right after the ceremony, he's gotten his helmet fixed and screws added, and he's waiting for the dent on his chest to be taken care of.

Honestly guys.. the one REAL advantage that the SSC version will have over the Tamashii - is the weight.
You won't get any potential dive bombing catastrophes with this one, unlike the former.
That said, it also does really depend on how you set the thing up in the first place..
I actually dropped mine from a few feet up on carpet and it "exploded" into separate pieces. I didn't see how it landed, but EVERYTHING came apart. Thankfully no damage was done and it all snapped back together. Go figure!

Yeah, the figure is designed to be pulled apart - it's one of it's advertized selling points.
I meant more in terms of it destroying everything surrounding it on the way down.

you know that`s funny. the same thing happened to mine. I was organizing my one shelf and he fell from the third shelf up and hit the ground and exploded like a laser blaster shot him like they did in empire. I though for sure he was broke

I shouldn't have bought that!
Ha! I could definitely see the Tama 3PO taking out a kitten for good.Lucky he did'nt fall on you, all that weight could have knocked you out!

yep I was pissed because he never fell before. I think the figure behind him fell forward and that`s when he went downLucky he did'nt fall on you, all that weight could have knocked you out!
Sideshow's really pushing the 20% off the Star Wars left-overs. Just got a Threepio thank you.

Would have been nice if it worked on something I wanted. 
Never thought I'd see a SS Threepio being more expensive than a HT Stormie.
This SSC version is completely wrong colour and finish-wise and the head is just off.
So I am glad I ended up scooping up a 2nd Bandai C-3PO with original intention of flipping it (I wanted a second one to display with Mighty Jabba). The Bandai may not be 100% screen accurate, but nothing about its appearance bothers me (and it 'wows' people with casual interest).

Yeah too bad it doesn't work on more items. The only thing I'd really consider would be the Boba Fett Prototype Armor.

The bulging forehead on the Tama is more of a distraction to me than the wide face on SSC's. I don't even notice SSC's flaws unless it's next to a screencap, but Tama's looks wrong to me all by itself.
Do you have it in-hand? Could be lens distortion if it's just from pics. 3PO's head is really prone to looking very different depending on the lens.
It looks pretty close here, even though the real 3PO is looking up a bit more (making his forehead slightly smaller) and doesn't have his eyes lit up:
Tama's neck is too narrow though.

Is that a shot from Jedi?
Come across this shot the other day where 3PO's head looks more round like sideshow's. From hoth it looks like.
