Sideshow 1/6 R2-D2

I'm in!
Next will be 3po.

The wookiepedia info is not movie accurate for R2 nor 3PO. Safe to ignore.

6.75 is going to be a little bit short next to the 11.5" Tamashii 3PO - a 7" R2 would be the correct ratio. At 6.75" this R2 would need an 11" 3PO for a better ratio.

I'll wait until the fall to order. There's no way I'm burning reward points on a pre-order.

Honestly, I don't care how many little arms he comes with, to me, in terms of value proposition, this size figure should be maxing out under $150.

I hope Sideshow continues using this type of graphic for all their figures, including Hot Toys. It's nice to see everything that's included laid out like this.

Someone was listening. I didn't do all that work for nothing.

I always listen to you, devil!

 

[ApeManRyan]

Ordered! R2 looks great and awesome price!

Ordered
Looking forward to putting him with Luke. I know we are getting Hoth Luke but wish it was X Wing Luke we were getting first.

I can almost guarantee that people are going to be (very) disappointed at the scale when this guy is in-hand. The Hasbro R2 is just a tiny bit taller than 6.25" making this one just under .5" taller. He really needed to be 7" or taller. The SSC version will also be only about 1/8" wider at the feet if that's where they measured his width. I have no idea how they would have measured "length" from their specs.

Messing with you pp but this doesn't bother me. Fine if it's 6.7599765678

Ordered. It's priced perfectly which is good to see but I fear they'll get us when they eventually do a 3PO. Knowing most of us will pick it up to go along with this.

It'll be fine with 3PO if they make him 11" - but Sideshow's scale across the line seems to be all over the place. I suppose it's as easy to get it wrong as it is to get it right.

3PO would probably also be $150 or less. Anyone else think they'll show him at SDCC?

Wow shocked by the price! My wife's getting him for me as my birthday gift. Which happens to be in December when he comes out.

 

[jedijim3002]

I'm ok with the price but the seam on the dome and height issues worry me.

Ordered, but i can't find the restraining bolt, did i miss it?

It is hard to measure properly but the Taito R2 is 7.25" high and about 4.5" wide. That scale what seems to be the most accurate. The sideshow R2 should be accurate to the Tamashii 3po because they collaborated, and the scale for the 3po was painstakingly created.

That being said... I am absolutely ordering this haha. While the Taito R2 makes a nice stand in, the paint apps and extra arms will be spectacular.

Next will be 3po.

I wonder if they are previewing their "NEW" C-3PO or are they just referencing their old one? I hope there isn't another C-3PO coming...

Ordered R2 and Phase 2 Rex this morning. Really looking forward to Dec / Jan....barring any SSC delays of course.

Is that 2nd pic showing the exclusive parts?

And 1st pic are all the regular parts?

If so, regular is more then enuff parts for me

Considering current pricing it looks like a bargain...

 

[VintijDroidGutzz]

This is probably the FIRST time I've started to consider getting an exclusive version through SSC.

Too much goodness here..

Yes. The exclusive arms are:

Utility Circular Saw Arm
Laser Welding Arm
Spacecraft Linkage Arm

Looks like 4th quarter of 2014 is going to be an expensive one for us Star Wars fans. Its been a great year for SW though. $150 is good, I was tempted to just break out the RP and get this for like $30 but I think Ill save those for something more pricey.

Just hope the scale is right.
