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

[Mother's Basement Batcave]

Can't wait for the R2 btw. Diecast rocks.

 

[Darth Fok]

Yeah I can't wait to get R2 to keep this guy company

I really don't know how they would make a better 3po than this

With unicorn tears, unobtanium and pixie dust. Oh, and true scale pistons that don't look like huge salamis.

The compromise with that, will be static elbows again - then there really will be tears.

 

[TheFiend]

I have absolutely zero issues with the pistons. I never notice how big they are at all. I don't even think they are that big.

 

[VintijDroidGutzz]

Agreed Fiend - I'm fine with them too.

LOL I suppose. I'm good with the pistons actually.

Make it from 90% plastic instead of Zamac( Diecast), only using zamak for things like the pistons, or cut it entirely.

Add a second pelvis so he can sit down.

Sell it for 1/2 of what Bandai is asking, since there is little-to-no garbage metal in it.

Ok - you pitch it to HT or SSC..

..& I'll take a complimentary successful prototype.

My Tamashii 3PO arrived from Amazon (like new) today and its incredible! One of the inner elbow pistons had come out, but I was able to fit it back on...otherwise it seems flawless. Some crappy pics of my temporary display.

I really like the way your are displaying those. :

if you think one, or the other, or BOTH of those companies aren't mulling over this thing doing EXACTLY that already, you're crazy

A quality plastic 3P0 made soonish is going to be a liscense to print money.

You've probably already got this figure anyway.. & you're just not telling us.

Seriously though, SSC will release their 3PO as soon as they release an awesome fur covered Chewbacca.

Thanks guys!

All terasing aside, i think a quality plastic 3P0 is more likely than a fuzzy chewie.

 

[Pixelpiper]

No new 3PO. Maybe after 2015, but probably not for at least 3-5 years.

SSC has already released 2 this year, does it make any sense to release more? Would DIsney/LFL even license them to make another so soon? Not likely. Brand dilution.

 

[Darth Fok]

Isn't the medicom version considered the plastic one? (which I now regret buying after getting the bandai one)

 

[TheFiend]

Ive been thinking about picking up the Medi version as well actually.

Do you REALLY think that Brand Dilution is possible when it comes to Star wars?

Though I think you're right, we won;t see another 1/6th threepio released for a year or two.
