No. Going by releases like the recent Vader, SS's online measurements don't mean anything. My personal hope is they've under-reported R2's size just like they did with Vader.

True enough; thanks

Breaking Bad..wind.

Are we back on track here yet? No? OK...

Flatulence.

I've waited long enough for a good R2. Let's bump this release up Sideshow!

The end of the year can't come soon enough with all these sw releases that are in the works. The future pf concepts look promising too.

Gave in and preordered a second piece with my local retailer.

Nice!!!

I'm sure they'll sculpt Threepio perfectly. I'm saying that just by seeing the look of R2. Most impressive pricing too

I bet they will use the molds from the Tamishii Nations/Bandai C-3PO at least in part, since that was a SS collaboration. They could just re-engineer the leg articulation a bit; perhaps give it an alternate codpiece section for sitting... IN THE 1/6 LAND SPEEDER. It would be nice if they also made the arm pistons smaller too. Other than that, I LOVE my TN 3PO. The look is just soooo friggin' metallic, the proportions and detail are so good. The SS will have to be a dirty version, because I just can't see them even coming close to the metallic look of the TN version with a clean-painted simulation.

Personally, I hope they don't re-use any moulds from Tama, there are just way too many details that are off. Given what's gone down with R2, I'd expect a completely new design and production process.

I caved in and ordered.

I'm very very close to caving!!

I've already got the Medi one (v2) and will be the SS one. If Tamashii release one, I'll buy one too. With 3 R2's I'm sure I could easily display him with other characters.

I just hope they release and R5-D4, strangely my favourite droid. The medi r5 is 1 of my favourite figures, but sideshow's detailing on this r2 gives an ssc version more potential (and size)

I'm glad you're here to tell us these things.

There's only one way this could happen. If Ban Dai sell there mould to Sideshow.

I understand that Sideshow was just a distributor for this. But is it Bandai's alone to sell? I don't know if 12" Perfect Model played a part in production, or whether they were the distributor for Asia. In the title 12PM comes before Chogokin.
