Nice job, James! You are bold as brass to do that to the Tamashii!

You should detail your weathering procedure so other people can copy it.

That's undisputedly the best 1:6 Threepio we will ever get!

Agreed! Someone else posted a very nice weathered 3PO a few months ago. Anyone remember where that was? I cant find it in this thread.
EDIT: found it in the SS 3PO thread!

If someone here shops on Yahoo.co.jp there is a Tamashii C-3PO on there that has a buy-it-now price of ¥18000 which is around $150. I'm almost considering it myself, is it easy to paint it white or make the color silver??

Edit: Sorry the auction only had an hour left on it, missed that. Someone got a deal though, it ended at $142.

Very nice and brave, I don't have the skills to do what you've done with the weathering. I also like how you've used the Tusken stands.

Man, there are some awesome pics of the TAMA 3PO appearing now. Those two look phenomenal together.

Well, the droids (and maybe the wookie) are taken care of. The other heroes, however... there's no mistaking the HT Han for the man in that picture.

You'd think by the year 2015 we'd have something close to the definitive Han, Luke and Leia in-hand. As of today, we have none of those, and nothing so far announced will be either.

 

[Pixelpiper]

The face sculpt on Kenner's 1978 Han is better than HT's. Serious. So as far as I'm concerned, I have definitive, if not quite life-like, examples of the heroes.

Just scored this guy for $325 AUD ($248 USD), so I'm pretty damn happy!

It's average I'd say. Quite good would have been below 170 pounds. VERY good at about 135 like I've seen a bunch go for. I missed one on eBay a little while back for under $200 US shipped.
