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

[IrishJedi]

Can't justify paying more for this than the Sideshow 3PO.

Well, this IS gold electroplated & Diecast metal. I'm getting the Sideshow one, too (which I will further weather to look more realistic)... but there's no chance that out of the box it won't look cheaper and more like a toy next to this one.

Price wise, it's also significantly cheaper than when it was first released. Almost a $100 cheaper iirc.

It was ¥26800 from AmiAmi when first released. But of course much more expensive from Sideshow.

I've had two chances to get this for about $200 shipped, but through no fault of my own, those deals didn't get completed. No biggie.

but there's no chance that out of the box it won't look cheaper and more like a toy next to this one.

Going by photos, I would argue the opposite. I wouldn't mind having both, but I also won't mind having neither if it works out that way. $230 for the SSC is $50 more than I want to spend on that one.

Yeah, my SSC 3PO is going in my Jabba's palace (head turned to hide the slightly wonky face) - the Tama will be my main "3PO and R2" display. The color/finish on the SSC one looks more ROTJ 3PO to me anyway.

Here's the new SSC R2D2 with this great piece.

I think they match quite well.

That second pic is awesome. Looks like the real 3PO is hanging in someone's living room.

Where did people get the gel for the eyes on this guy?

 

[anwe]

Sample books for lighting gels used for stage lights.

Most used Roscolux #321 golden amber to be exact.

I think they match nicely as well. R2 being dirty and Threepio being clean doesn't seem to be all that evident. The difference in cleanliness doesn't seem to jump out at me at all.

 

[jra81984]

They look great together!

 

[Pixelpiper]

It just won't feel right knowing there isn't a tiny Kenny Baker inside.

Perfect, thanks anwe. I'm sure they have those sample books here in Europe too.

There are a couple of big brands so if you can't find Rosco filters there are conversion charts online for other brands.
