I just got mine from Sideshow, and am really liking it. The weathering does not seem as bad as i thought, but I think I'd like to try and tone it down a bit. Has anyone tried using cape cod cloths to remove some weathering like peopled did with the chrome Mando?
 
This is really a great figure. Easily one of my favorites right now. It just pops on the shelf. I loved the aotc version and this is even more striking. Padme just arrived too and is a nice figure, but this blows it away. Not even close.
I’m really tempted to get another one for my endor display.

I don't have mine yet but based on so many reviews and pics I know I'm going to love how much it stands out, you can't beat that shiny gold :cool:

When did you order yours if you don't mind me asking? It definitely seems like the first to pre-order are getting theirs which makes sense. I only ordered mine very recently.

I ordered mine fairly recently in February, so I definitely wasn't one of the first to pre-order. SS really has no obvious pattern as to how they ship. From our prespective, it seems pretty random. I'm sure you'll get yours soon, they seem to be rolling out now.
 
I received my HT 3PO about a week ago. I immediately felt like the head was a bit undersized, the face a bit off, and the finish looking more like a copper/brownish gold color versus a brassy finish. Coming here and reading the posts have confirmed I'm not alone in my opinion.

Not without flaws, my favorite is still the Tamashii Nations version. I hope Hot Toys improves on later incarnations.

Someone here did try that and said it had no effect. But may be worth a second shot?
 
@Cocoboloboy Madea wonderful display base, just what I wanted 🙌 I got the AOTC R2 since he's much dirtier and that's how I like him haha

I should get me a base, since Hot Toys dropped the ball on that.

I'm still annoyed by the way Salacious turned out. Looks like something you'd put on a cake.

Yeah I said a few weeks ago it looks like a 6" scale Hasbro BS figure (perhaps even a 4" scale fig) blown up to 1/6 scale.

Shocking for such an expensive release. At least give it some real fur on the head and neck.
 
Man, I pre-ordered this guy in October from SSC with final flex originally scheduled for April. It’s been pushed out to July now. For anyone that ordered after Oct and have already received your figure, did you pay in full? I’ve been holding off on new pre-orders trying to not stack payments. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Mine was last bumped until June 5 right when others starting getting their final charges and shipping at the beginning of May. I'm starting to wonder if they have a second shipment expected later on that they are planning for the flexpays.
