Can't white plastic start to turn yellow??/ Or is that only when dampness gets to it over the years??

Maybe straight plastic but not painted.

SSC better get this right.
I don't want to be out of the return period stuck with a yellow R2.

Mywii, you´re great!!!! Thanks for sharing the pics, thanks for ear my requests. The PFs are very nice, can´t wait for my regular version.

Thanks you very much!

anytime dude

 

[mywii]

great pictures... maybe I missed it .. but where do you turn the lights on ? guess individually right ?

R2 - right on top of the dome
C3po - this is a bit troublesome as you have to remove the faceplate to reach the switch behind the face plate...no idea what they are thinking when designing it...

 

[mywii]

In the description they actually never mentioned the materials used I believe.

They never mention so is not their fault....

Maybe straight plastic but not painted.

Oh.. I did not think of that.

I remember my old Kenner r2 got mighty yellow but it was white plastic.

Awesome pics Mywii. They look great. Do 3PO' s neck and torso move...are they posable? Thanks for the info man.

Re: Premium Format C3PO in progress

We may have to accept the possibility there could be a lot of plastic involved in these especially with articulating parts and so many light up features. Plus polystone in both of these as a set would be heavy on the shipping.

wtf no plastics! if i wanted plastics, i did buy some medicom crap version.

lol. I knew it was in here somewhere. One of my first posts in this thread.

Has anyone else received a cancellation notice for the exclusive over the past 24 hours

Just got mine.

R2 & 3PO look great! Thanks for posting the pics of your!

The fact you have to go in and mess about taking 3PO's face plate off to get the lights on is a real pain. How long is the paint gonna hold up if you have to keep doing that?

Would have been so much easier and classier just to have a switch on the base powering both of them.

I have to do the same thing with my Hot Toys Iron Man MK-VII faceplate...it's slightly annoying but not that big of a deal, IMO.

I want my droids and flour tortilla base now!

 

[budafett]

So since both C3PO and R2D2 don't need their base for electronics, who's going to make custom bases?!

What makes white plastic yellow is sunlight and gas heating.

 

[The Ween]

So, if there's no electronics in the base of the regular, can you interchange the base between the regular and exclusive?

Isn't the waitlist closed for the exclusives? I thought they had cancelled all waitlists for this some time ago.

I might be wrong and thinking of something else.
