Sideshow 1/6 R2-D2

[jra81984]

Freaking awesome! Can't wait to see more of him. 3PO can't be far away now...

Nothing will beat the Tamashii version! However a nice battle damaged one would be nice!

 

[steveo]

Finally! He looks great and I can't wait. He's a definite buy!!! Hopefully 3PO won't be too far behind. "Soon" can't get here quickly enough.

So it looks like the lightsaber is a magnet for opening the different compartments and arms

And not sure how I feel about a C-3PO from Sideshow. I'm pretty happy with the Tamashii one, but I guess that's a bridge I can cross if we ever get to it. But for now I at least know we'll finally be getting a kick ass R2

Very cool, I kind of like the Medi one, but this is much better.

 

[Darth Fok]

I would hate to buy this and then a Tamashii one gets release. No regards from me buying the Tamashii 3PO though as I don't think SS can top that.

 

[EVILFACE]

Wow. That is a work of art.

Well done SS.

Please please please be in proper scale with C3P0,,,,,,

 

[Smudger9]

Definite buy. Now we know why there has been no Tamashi R2. Can't wait to pose this with my Tamashi 3PO.

 

[JonEl]

Looks great instant buy. I wouldn't be surprised if the Ex version is clean and shiny with the rockets.

 

[automaton]

what a great way to start the day.

 

[gunm]

Looks great! Totally want this one.

 

[Hologram AI]

Looks great! I hope they eventually do a 3PO as a cheaper alternative to Tamashi. Instant PO on this!

 

[Tee-Kay]

This is gonna be a OT R2 only. No reason for Sideshow to give us both R2 incarnations in one go when they can spread it out in two distinct releases. As for the price, Medicon being sold $220, i'd say this one could range from $200 to $250... keeping in mind the mold can be reused at least a couple times which is not the case for Grievous or Probe droïd for exemple.

 

[steveo]

Since Sideshow is releasing the Tamashii C-3PO, does that mean they won't be making one of their own?

I really want the Tamashii C-3PO, but I once saw it for $220. I just can't bring myself to pay the $350 it goes for now when I know I can potentially get it for much cheaper. Over a hundred dollars cheaper, even.

That said, R2-D2 is a definite buy. Take my money.

I would have grabbed that 3PO at that price. Was it selling for that price from a fellow boardie?

 

[lerath666]

So, is that 100% Sideshow or part Tamashii?

100% sideshow.
it would say otherwise.

Sideshow was originally selling it for $399. Are you sure you didn't see the Medicom C-3PO for $220? That's about average. I saw the Tamashii 3PO for as low as $300. There is one on there now for $354 and another for higher but with a "best offer" price.

 

[FLOSI]

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Johnny Utah]

This with a SS 3PO would look amazing on a shelf.

If I had the money at the time, I would have. It was on Amazon, sold by Amazon, for $220. No joke.

I'm positive it was Tamashii. I checked the price religiously, even when I couldn't afford it.
