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

I wouldn't worry too much about that. He's either going to rust, or he won't. Zamac isn't exactly a quality material. Exposure to AIR will make it oxidize. handle him all you like. if skin oils can get through the pain/vacmetal/whatever it is, so can air.

Make sure 3PO doesn't take any long, romantic or otherwise, walks on the beach. That salt air is a killer.

If you're worried about it, spray him down with silicone spray. Totally safe, very protective against stuff like salty air. Oxidation needs more than air. You're looking at two different metals touching, or some other element that combined will cause a corrosive result, like water (moisture, vapor, liquid, etc.) Pack your (sealed) display case full of desiccant and change it out regularly.

Haha you'd think some of you guys were aiming to get this figure into the british museum at some point

Rusting figures, Batman figures with rubber suits that might melt...none of this bothers me.

Embrace the chaos.

I reckon, why worry about something that might happen?

Exactly. Just don't buy it in the first place. then, NO WORRIES!

LOL! True!

R2 is going to kick *** I think. Since Threepio is ANH I assume R2 will be too? I wonder what little gadgets he'll come with. What do you guys think?

Hoping Amazon will drop the price soon so i can get one.

I'm sure we'll see R2 at SDCC. I just hope they fixed the dome and scale!

I think they will. I can't imagine them going through the trouble of making an incredibly accurate, scaled, detailed ,die-cast Threepio and dropping the ball on Artoo. Man, that would really suck.

I'm sure they'll fix the dome, but I have a bad feeling that the scale is going to be what we've been seeing all along. With scale, it's like they have to start again from scratch, unless they did it on the computer and can just scale him up another 10-20%.

How they made the original isn't that relevant if they've already made molds, the most expensive part of the production process.

If the one shown last year was from new molds for this collection, then chance are that's what we're going to get down the line. But wasn't there speculation that the R2 from last year was simply a stand-in from Medi or someone else?

That was impression I had as well.
