Sideshow 1/6 R2-D2

[Remy]

I don't want to cancel my order, but I have a feeling with the success of the hot toys die cast figures, that hot toy's r2d2 might be a die cast.

Diecast doesn't make it better. Just heavier and more expensive.

Well when you are trying to defend yourself from and intruder with your doll, which literally everyone has had to do at least once, you're gonna wish it was die cast!

That is precisely why I sleep with my Tamashii 3PO under my pillow.

Safety first, bra!

You'd stop the guy by making him piss his pants with laughter anyway.

At the rate HT is going, their R2 might look more like 7-Zark-7

BOTP FTW.

Each time I see this op to the top of the list I think it's someone getting a shipping notification. Am I looking forward to this release?

 

[VintijDroidGutzz]

BOTP FTW.

One of my fave shows of all time.

I just wish we could get our hands on the original Gatchaman animated series, as it was intended.

Oh man, just had a mental image of hot toys gatchaman...that would be sick!!!

I'd be pretty happy about that.

I'm actually figuring out a Jason custom at the moment - & coincidentally, I was considering using the very head sculpt in your sig. I've always thought a younger Taylor Kitsch would've made a great Jason in a live action film.

Yeah, I could see that.

 

[earthdog]

Yeah, I could see that.

Not to derail us any further but... The Medicom Jason and Mark were pretty good for the time. The suit on mine deteriorated and I picked up a full replacement figure for like $40 over the summer. And Cygirls made a decent Princess/Jun at some point.

Best thing about this release any reviewer can make look good no futzing needed. Cant wait to get this guy with my t1 t-800 the droidz i v been looking for in 2015.

I have the Tama Threepio and while its cool I really dont see what the die-cast rage is all about.

Wow!! Thanks for that info mate, much appreciated.

I did a little digging a fair while ago & couldn't find much, so I guess I wasn't looking hard enough. That's awesome. Are the voice dubs the same - i.e; Casey Kasem & co? I'd actually prefer the Japanese voice actors with subtitles to be honest.. more authentic. I'm sure that's an audio option anyway. I bet it wasn't released for region 4 (AUS) though..

I've got the BOTP DVD box set which also has the Alex Ross art on it, & it's still a great set, but yeah. I always wondered as a kid why the 7-Zark-7 bits with the team chiming in via the monitor in the HQ control room, were so jarring compared to the rest of each episode.

Original Voice actors with English subtitles on every episode. The Bluray set just came out this year. All the same original 105 episodes.

Ah, good to know - thanks earthdog.

 

[Pixelpiper]

The English voice actors are not those from the 80's BOTP - this set was dubbed in the 2000's - and even the DVD release is dual-audio and has all the original Japanese content. It's pretty sweet.

 

[VintijDroidGutzz]

Yeah I figured as much, cool.
