Head comparison.

MEDICOM ...............................SIDESHOW.............................TAMASHII................................HOT TOYS

Hm. I had a feeling the HT had stubby legs compared to the SS, thanks for the comparison.

Which one is more accurate, proportions wise?

They may be a tad short alright, but on the SS version they're too long.

3PO's head has always been a tough one to get right but I never realized how off the Sideshow version was until seeing it compared here. Based solely on these photos I sort of like the Medicom one the best!

 

[matrix69]

When compared with the real deal i think HT did a pretty good job scale wise.

I've never owned the MEDICOM version, but i've always admired it. For me it still has the best engineering for the light-up eyes feature. Pity about the scale though.

Like most of their figures SS looks like it jumped out of a comic book...too cartoony looking.

I’ll be darned, HT nailed it. When you get a look at the full body on set, the arms look HUGE.

Great comparison photos matrix. Thank you.

I own the Tamashii and I will not get this Hot Toys version, although it is a great release. Congratulations to those getting it! Enjoy!

 

[Jedi_Col]

Thanks for those excellent comparisons. This makes me even more excited for it. I personally love the way HT came out. It looks stellar. That minor thing with the arm details aside, I think it came out phenomenal.

 

[BACON!]

So when does Sideshow get their lot to send out?

 

[Scout Trooper]

Great photos matrix

 

[Darth Lam]

Sideshow must be sending these out in lots. I got mine from them on the 8th of March.

I haven’t even gotten an email that it was charging soon. Must be getting a second batch.

Same.

 

[Mr.Tanker]

This is literally the first time I have heard of anyone receiving one from Sideshow.
Has anyone else gotten a notice?

 

[TonTon]

I ordered from AE, nothing for me yet.

My beloved Tamashii suddenly looks like a Bobblehead!
Great comparison, Matrix. HT have done so well. Glad I preordered this.

 

[Wor-Gar]

The HT eyes are too close together.

And I also thought the HT is too short, but I looked at my SS 3PO and realized he's too tall. I think HT might have the height correct, at least relative to their own ANH Luke and gang.

 

[AricJorn]

The only thing that worries me about the HT release is the weathering - it looks like they really went heavy-handed on it.

Damn. Now that you see that its hard to un-see it

 

[jedijim3002]

Sideshow was always too tall. Tamashii got the height and proportions right. Looks like HT has done the same. Can’t wait to compare the tamashii with the HT when I get mine.
