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

[Lee in MI]

Great pics, Dutchman! You sir have earned some rep points!

This figure is simply amazing. The price, while hard to get past, was justified as the figure is almost all diecast, has electronics and a few accessories. Hot Toys is charging the same for less diecast...ie Robocop.

I just hope they eventually get to do R2...or is that dead now?

It is the most accurate version of 3PO

Everything gets criticism, but Tama also gets some excessive praise, are you a half full or a half empty kind of person? Besides, "most accurate" is completely contradictory - there is just accurate and not accurate. If something is anything less than accurate, then it's not accurate at all by the very definition of the word.

This post is not entirely accurate.

Wonderful pics of a wonderful 3PO. Certainly the most accurate version of the character we have seen to date.

Incredible pic - your Tantive dio is the coolest thing I've seen on this forum. And that Threepio really looks spot-on there.

Play nice, Freaks.

Even the little rubble on the floor, that's awesome.

I bought this figure little over two months ago from a local retailer. It's a great figure and 10 times better than the newest SS effort. I paid $275 no tax, no shipping. Figure is heavy from all the die cast, but I love that.

Great, so you have the new SS figure already? Post some in-hand photos in its thread for all of us to see.

Thought I'd leave it you.

Considering one is out and available and the other isn't, its superiority is actually approaching infinity and not a specific numeric factor. Let's call it n, where n -> ∞

Tamashii C-3PO is nigh on achieving god status - pretty good for a fussy British butler in a tin suit.

Does this mean the Ewoks were right all along?

General rule of thumb: a released figure can be no more than twice as good as a figure not yet released. Any more than this is fanciful exaggeration.

Yes.

Yes, that's right.

Wow. Really? Is this really a thing? WTF!!! Why? It makes no sense. I would have thought Star Wars fans out of anyone would have moved past this kind of crap! Palpatine was prejudice against anyone not human so I guess it still exists even in a galaxy far far away. SMH
