Yeah the Sideshow looks awful. Would be amazing if it was Hasbro but for $230 + shipping it is not worth it. I would either wait for Hot Toys or roll with a Tama.

Anyone want to buy my exclusive order?
I didn't know about their respective heights. I think at 1/6th scale, the difference should be minimal. I also have found pics where the appear to be the same size, but I think what is throwing me off in that pic of the SS R2 & 3PO is that R2 is undersized.

Definitely confirmed now that the pistons are NOT telescopic, and just slide on the tracks. That is pretty disappointing for me.

That was confirmed well before going up for preorder.

I keep hearing about this tama version, anyone have comparison pics?

Yep. And in fairness, that's one of the few things the Tamashii was hammered for (pistons being too large). Only way to make them smaller is how Sideshow did it.

It was announced at the very fist SDCC when they showed this off in 2014 and been discussed to death here in this thread since. F'ing Newbs.

Because most people are so enamoured by the weight and trying to justify the price they can't see anything else.
There's at least as much wrong with the Tama as any other version if you stop to look. But I'll be damned if I'm going to get rid of it or (gasp) get a second high-end 3PO.As an aside... Anyone that compares SSC (or HT or any other high end producer) to Hasbro has their head extremely far up their rears.

There was a decent amount of comparing the Thanos to a Hasbro in that thread a while back. Apparently, you can walk into Toys R Us and any figure there would look better than Thanos.Because most people are so enamoured by the weight and trying to justify the price they can't see anything else.

I'll disagree with you about that to my dying day.
Tamashii's 3PO really captures the character, IMO. SSC for me isn't even close. Just hate how his face looks, among other things.
Probably? Do... or do not.

Hahaha! I didn't say that they're all equally good (or bad) - but they all have multiple issues. Some more important (or significant) than others.
I keep going back to this FB pic...
I maintain that this won't look nearly as good unless it's weathered.
Cancelled. Got a lot coming and I'll just wait for HT's version (however long that may be.)
Look nearly as good as what? The Tamashii you mean?
You got balls. I'm having separation anxiety.
