Sideshow 1/6 R2-D2

[Pixelpiper]

Looks about 1/4" too short. 1/8" is easy to make up with lifts to simulate the extra wheel height and the rest we'll ignore.

I hope 3P0 will have light up eyes.

Yup, that's been confirmed by SideshowAlex.

 

[Pixelpiper]

Weee.

 

[Puay]

I will find means to stink 3PO!

pictures of two droids together. Finally the correct scale? You're right galactiboy

Have to say R2 still seems a little small in comparison, but I can definitely live with that.

They are beautiful!

Yeah this pic is the first one where it looks closer to 1/4" than 1/8" (and where R2's "volume"/width seems a tiny bit lacking in comparison) but it still works to my eye. R2 has no wheel "soles" at all, so there is room for adding that.

See - those side by sides are useful, cheers to the pic taker!

Yeah, he's a bit too short.. but not a deal breaker ultimately I guess. The real test (for me) will be him lined up next to the Tamashii 3PO.

It's more like a millimeter short. 1/4" is a gross exaggeration.

Artoo is 3mm too tall, because he doesn't have wheels.

Fixed!

Fixed!

Which would make him perfect.

Apart from his width.

Being Sideshow, the result is more perfect than could have reasonably been expected. If it were any more perfect, I would have suspected foul play.

View attachment 123762View attachment 123761 I don't see how they aren't in scale personally

 

[Pixelpiper]

Yeah, sure looks like 1mm to me.

The resize was done at exactly +3.7% which is the equivalent of 1/4" added to 6.75", the measurement given for the figure at Sideshow.

I'll be getting the set, but I like knowing what to expect. Won't order until after release in any case, so there will be plenty of time for in-hand photos.

 

[devilof76]

No it doesn't. It looks like a quarter inch to you. They must have smaller inches north of the treeline.

 

[Pixelpiper]

You can be contrarian all you like, that's cool. Maybe say that R2 is pink and 3PO is silver. Try it on for size.

 

[devilof76]

I'm just saying you're wrong. It has nothing to do with my personal inclinations. I do not see a 1/4 inch discrepancy.

Suck it up.

 

[Pixelpiper]

I can't help you see the truth, but if you want to prove it to yourself, do the work instead of simply disagreeing. Either way I don't really care though. But being interrupted with smart "1mm" remarks is a tiny bit tiring when it's clearly obvious to everyone who knows what a mm is that it's not it.

I can't tell if you're serious or this is one of your abyssmal jokes that sound like you stole them from Big Bang Theory.
