Shhh.. we are not allowed to be objective about SSC releases anymore.

Great pic man.

Cheers mate both just compliment each other so well, i look at them and hear quotes lol

the scale is all wrong isn't it? between Yoda and R2 I mean?

it looks good to me...



Yoda should be smaller than his door, or not?

Not, I'd say..

Dunno, Yoda just seems very small compared to R2 to me. Great pics though man.

Which Yoda is that?

 

[parrasmaniac]

it's SSC Xmas Yoda with SSC Jedi Master Yoda's clothes. I really like the robe with the wire.

I used some little ropes from some shoppings, the ones that sometimes come with tshirts, or shirts.

Also added some custom hair, I used white wool from an old blanket.

Yoda's recorded at 66cm tall.

At 1/6 11cm is the middle of Artoo's lower blue arm. So that Yoda does look too tall.

Hasbro's version is 11.5cm.

Anyone else still waiting on a replacement head? Almost 2 months since I got my busted one, and I still haven't received a new head for it...

Same here ...

R2 is still "pre-order" (actually a back-order), which means Sideshow is still waiting for stock, including parts: May-June for the full figure, YMMV for parts.

R2 is too small. But guessing percentages based on looking at a photo is never going to get you in the ballpark, especially when the only point of reference is another figure we don't know is the correct size. It's super-doubtful Tama's 3PO is precisely the correct scale, IMO.

Tamashii C-3PO is exactly 11 1/2 inches tall to the top of his dome. That does not include his ridge that goes around the top of his head. That would make him exactly 11 5/8 inches. Anthony Daniels is exactly 5'9" so a perfect 1/6 scale rendition is 11 1/2 inches. But that would not be the height of threepio if you take into account the ridge on the top of his head. So for all intensive purposes Tamashii 3PO is in perfect 1/6 scale.

How tall is the Tamashii? Because if it's a full 12" that probably would be throwing things off a bit.

How tall is Kenny Baker? Anthony Daniels is an actor in a costume. C-3PO is not Anthony Daniels. Just saying. The costume can add 1, 2, 3, etc. inches.

This R2 is too short - I don't think anyone will dispute that.

Do you have an answer for everything? Just saying.

Do you have an answer for everything? Just saying.

People shouldn't post if they don't want a reply. They especially shouldn't reply directly to someone else's message if they don't want a reply back. If I don't have an answer, I usually don't post. That doesn't stop a lot of other people though.

What I'm really not sure of is why you posted the exact same message twice.

So, how tall is C-3PO?

 

[jedijim3002]

You asked a question about the Tamashii height. I answered it.

 

[jedijim3002]

Two people asked. It was easier to copy and paste that figure out how to double quote.

So, how tall is C-3PO?

I've given up on height accuracy. Vader, Chewie, Luke... they'll all be off relative to each other and their screen counterparts.

I'm amping up my hyperbole meter setting & propose that everything is crap, & I'm only collecting toy company spec photos from now on.

Make sure you resize them so they all look proportional with one another.
