Sideshow 1/6 C-3PO

[Darthrazz]

How delicate are the fingers and pistons? Do we have to worry about easily breaking them?

 

[MicroJow]

I shall call him... Mini-C.

 

[Invictus Sol]

He looks good. Glad the wiring came out nice. Thanks for the pics, Micro.

So, how's the metallic finish? Is it actually chromed, or is it shiny paint like the Indy Ark that Sideshow did?

Thanks for the pics, BTW!

 

[MicroJow]

The pistons and fingers don't seem overly delicate. In one of the pictures I'm going to upload I have the fingers and arms extended to their limit. As long as you don't try and force the arms any further you shouldn't have a problem.

I don't have the Sideshow Ark so I can't compare. But I'm thinking this is shiny paint, not chromed.

Pictures with the lights on shortly.

I like how 3PO ***** slaps R2 when he first wakes up in TFA.

 

[MicroJow]

To access the batteries and plastic tab, you need to rip off his head. Pop!

[Darthrazz]

Awesome, so you can pop in a battle droid head if you wish. lol

 

[Creighton]

I think he looks pretty cool overall but damn that FN haphazard weathering.

 

[Darthrazz]

MJ, did you buy the regular or exclusive?

 

[MicroJow]

To turn the eyes on, just touch the back of his head.

 

[MicroJow]

Arms are extended to their limits, right hand is open as far as it can go.

 

[MicroJow]

MJ, did you buy the regular or exclusive?

Exclusive. If you want pix of the arm stub attached, I can do that after lunch.

 

[TonTon]

What's the hip articulation like? Can he do splits?

 

[cel3027]

Many thanks that looks great.

 

[Darth Madden]

Nice pics... but get poor R2 out from behind the VHS tapes and put him next to his buddy.

 

[Darthrazz]

Exclusive. If you want pix of the arm stub attached, I can do that after lunch.

Thank you so much already for answering all our questions! If you get a chance if not no worries!

 

[Wor-Gar]

Congrats MJ!

Things are back to normal -- you getting things first. Damn! I have no trouble with my HT orders.... but boy, Sideshow.... 'nother story. They're trying to find my box -- no one knows where it is now. But they do know where my money is.


GREAT pictures! Thanks for taking the time. I was hoping the "metal" finish would be a little warmer color, looks darker and very brassy in the pics. Is that how it is in hand? Can you take a picture in outside lighting (if that would make a difference)?

Really nice pictures, MJ. Thank you for taking those. The sculpt looks pretty good to me. The main thing that stops me from getting this is the finish, I prefer a 3PO that looks shiny and metallic (which is ironic considering that the movie prop was made from plastic).

If/ when they do a TC-14 or K-3PO I'll be very, very tempted because it is a great sculpt. I'm looking forward to seeing comparison photos with the Tamashii, which I just got yesterday (and which is jaw-droopingly wonderful).
