Tamashii Soul of Chogokin C-3PO & R2-D2

[CaptnRex]

An Episode 2 version of Threepio would be cool, a bit like that proto of this Tamashii they showed without the gold finish.

Although at around $400 I doubt I'd buy it.

Just leave this guy out in the garden for a couple of months?

If I were rich I would try it.

Nah. I think this is the only c3po ill ever require.

after seeing the comparison pics, I'm more impressed with the Medi RAH than the Tamashii, other than overall size. The details look sharper and more accurate.

Wut.

It's all about the pistons for some folks.

 

[TheFiend]

**** the pistons.

other than overall size. The details [on the Medi] look sharper and more accurate.

Umm, the chest is wrong, the head is all wrong, the feet are wrong for the scale - I could go on. Hands-down, despite its flaws, the Chogo is the better 3PO on the market, except for one single thing. Price.

**** the pistons.

It's also a pill I'm willing to swallow for the rest of what's great about the Chogo 3PO.

There's only one more thing Medicom did better and that's the metallic color. Apart from those two things, the Medi is kind of dumpy and odd looking. As far as accuracy goes, if you close your eyes while watching the movie, maybe, just maybe.

Those facebook comparison pics are unflattering to both figures as well.

 

[TheFiend]

The only reason I could see someone getting the Medi is if they want to complete their SW collection and aren't the biggest C-3PO fan so they see no reason to drop the cash for the Tamashii.

Yes. I said earlier that I had seen a better comparison review somewhere.

My 3PO came in pretty good condition from Amazon (bought as new). The packing was intact and it didn't appear that it was tampered with. One of the pistons had some out but it was a easy to put back in.

There's a small black blemish on the face which isn't too noticable. Tried wiping it it off with a cloth but no success (from what I can tell the paint isn't scatched). Any recommendations on how I can clean it. At this point it it wouldn't warrant a return, but it's a small thing that only I would notice.

 

[TheFiend]

I think any blemish on the face would bother the hell out of me. Do you have a pic?

 

[Darth Fok]

No pic right now, but it's an actual transparent line which you can only see on certain angles. I'll see if I can post a pic later

 

[Pixelpiper]

The only reason I could see someone getting the Medi is if ...

Or they wanted to put a robe on him and disguise him as a Jawa.

 

[TheFiend]

He even has the glowing eyes.

any feedback as the faint brush stroke type finish on mine's right pectoral and just below it?

Saw this on Facebook... not sure if it's new or not, but looks way too clean for my tastes:
