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

[Pixelpiper]

We still might, it's just peculiar that it's not at the show - or at least wasn't on preview last night.

 

[pixletwin]

Yeah. I am a little bummed that R2 is a no show. Someone at the con should ask SSC about him.

I was trying to post this into the Rebelcum thread where they asked for questions to relay, but logging into their system just seems like way more trouble than it was worth - I don't have a DISCUS account and using one of the other services seemed cumbersome.

If someone has a DISCUS account however, please consider floating the question over to them. Everyone else posting seems to be fixed on Hasbro.

Any word on R2?

No sign of him. Overall, SDCC has been disappointing for me. Vader is a huge disapointment and I was hoping we'd see HT Anakin, Tamashi R2, and a SS Biker Scout. Looks like 2015 is going to be a cheap year for me.

I'm honestly hoping that Hot Toys never touches any prequel stuff and that figure has been cancelled. Can you imagine how crazy their schedules would be like if they had to stuff this in with their Marvel/Iron Man production?

Tamashi R2

I'm not sure this is one to worry about - it would have been nice to see it, but ultimately it will just be nice to hear about it getting released. Not everything gets previewed at shows, so let's hope this can still come out sometime in 2014.

SS Biker Scout.

There's always 2016. Though they may tackle AT-AT driver first to further round out their Hoth offerings.

Yes, hoping HT abandons the PT, as well. The real money and artistic integrity is all front-loaded in the OT. Keep the focus there and on the hopefully redeeming sequels.

Hoping R2 not showing this year means Tamashi took notice of its shortcomings (overall size and chrome dome) and will come back later with an update proto.

 

[Pixelpiper]

It's coming.

 

[Tee-Kay]

Have you got some news to share on that front?

 

[Pixelpiper]

That previous message refers to my very own 3PO. Didn't mean to get anyone's hopes up with regards to an R2 or anything.

 

[Tee-Kay]

With SDCC still running and the R2 focus of this thread on the last few pages, i thought he might have popped in a cabinet somewhere on the convention floor.

Congrats on your last acquisition. You're gonna be blown away.

It's not the right size and no 'tweaking' can fix that. I'd say it's back to the start for Tamashii and R2.

 

[Centurion]

Yeah, with the definitive Japanese Star Wars expert heading this project, it would be quite embarrassing if R2 was released in it's current state.

Thanks, I'm sure I will be. I suppose it's time to start preparing and testing my weathering mix before I get the figure. I said I'd do it if I got the figure and here it comes.

 

[Jabba]

Got it 2 days ago.

This figure is "sick". Period!

Now R2

Oh cool. You got one. Good for you. Where did you order from,if you don't mind me asking.

Looking forward to the weathering.

From a fellow board member, and I hope to have it in hand around the end of the month.

Thanks to Flosi( and pixeltwin to an extent) I didn't have to buy the lighting "gels" for Threepio's eyes. So thanks guys!

Now I do have a sliver of it left if anyone wants it.You won't be able to double it up like Flosi and I did but it's available for anyone that wants it.

Man, I've been trying to get a piece for some time now. If you still have it, I really could use that piece of lighting gel. I'll PM you now just in case.
