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

[Weezer]

The speculated price for R2 ($190) seems to be on par with how the pricing has been going. $250 sounds OK for 3PO, but I'd be afraid to display him. Imagine how easy he'll tarnish and scratch!

Official website is updated with pics & specs & the price...
https://tamashii.jp/special/12PM/c3po.html

33,600yen which is around $426USD
I guess this will be a pass for most ppl.

Looks like 1/7 Medi droids for me then. Or maybe none at all. Bummer that it seems so hard for SSC to offer them up.

Hmm... "total posability" means fully articulated?

Wrist, elbow, shoulder and neck are visibly articulated - great start, but I wonder why they don't mention the legs at all (or if the head is ball joint.)

Amazing looking figure, BUT that gold finish had better be actual chrome look by production because the gold powdercoat look is not working in the closer shots.

Unfortunately that webpage still isn't full specs for this figure, and many questions are still unanswered. Well, the price is...

Yeah, pretty much.

 

[CaptnRex]

$426USD? Made of real gold?

Damn, I wanted this, highly unlikely at that price.

 

[JonEl]

426 for both, sure....for 3po......bye

 

[qbomb71]

Ouch. Not gonna happen. $426

 

[FLOSI]

Well, this is a pass.... Too bad too, but 450 is too much.

wayyyyyyyyyy too much. obviously they are marketing the c3po collectors & not necessarily the 1/6th collectors though they may get a few to bite. i shall not be one of them unfortunately as it looks pretty darn good to me but too steep.

 

[Invictus Sol]

Presumably $900.00 for the set?Wow, that's really brutal. Not even on my most fan-boyest day could I justify that. Shame though, as the 3PO for sure looks like it will be the definitive version for a long time to come.

 

[sithlord13]

426 bucks.

Wow. That's. A. Lot.

Glad I snagged by medicom for 100£

Kinda thinking about Medicom now...

Re: New 1/6 C3PO & R2D2 by Bandai - 12PM line

These are not going to be cheap... easily between $350.00 and $450.00 each... but they will be gorgeous... !!
My guess is that with these coming, most likely it'll be a while before we see Sideshow's version...

I told you guys...
Just FYI, DX Mazinger Z from Tamashii had the same MSRP, but places like BBTS are offering them for 375.00...
I'm guessing that will be the cheapest we might find them for...
R2 might be a little less... but not by much...

It's funny how now Medicom seems like the better option!!
I'm glad I got mine for cheap... $250.00 for the pair!!

 

[FLOSI]

Damn you, Kuz... How did you swing that? I remember you getting R2 cheap.

 

[Matt S]

Same here. My lord, $450 - no way

Shortly after scoring R2 for $89.00 + shipping I found a loose 3PO brand new for about $145.00 shipped. No boxes on either of them, but I didn't mind, price was just too good!!
