Tamashii Soul of Chogokin C-3PO & R2-D2

[Pixelpiper]

None of the Tama 3PO plated diecast's surface is exposed - it has a clear-coat over all metallic surfaces, so it may be tricky or impossible to clean up any additional surface paint using solvents without also removing that clear coat. YMMV.

If it's acrylic, I would think it would be possible to wash or rub off with a bit of alcohol once it's dry. Or does it go down a bit more permanently than that on the diecast metal? Or leave some discoloration afterwards maybe?

Wiping it before it dries, that's what I did

thank you james.

If the pins are out of the arm Pistons is this an easy fix of just repositioning the arms so they slot back in or would this be considered beyond repair?

 

[Pixelpiper]

On mine you can put the pin back in, but it will always be possible for it to slide out easily again. Haven't looked at it carefully enough to see what keeps it in on the other side.

Got it. One more question, are the hands able to spin 360 at the wrist or is this a sign of breakage? Im about to put an offer in on one but it's clearly not minty fresh.

You won't regret it. One of the finest Star Wars figures ever made, 1/6 or otherwise.

This C-3PO is a jewel. Well worth that price. Congratulations!!

Is it available somewhere at that price or did you buy it second hand? I'd love to get the Tamashii over the Sideshow figure but haven't found one for a decent price.

You're right to look for one. Hope you can find it. GL!

This quote is from long ago in this thread, but still applies.

This is the type of figure that you sell other figures to be able to afford. The type of figure you'd reduce your entire 1/6 collection to two if that was the only way to own it. The type of figure that makes you a better man. The man who owns this figure is a man of integrity and someone to be trusted. The man who chooses not to own this figure is suspect. I shall mount this figure on the bonnet of my 1987 Ford Laser and indulge in an afternoon of motoring, enjoying as I drive the admiring and envious glances of passers-by.

oh yeah I still walk by the display case and look at him all the time it`s a great figure. I would love to give him the bendable fingers of the sideshow version to make him look even better

Beautiful 3po...

Can HT improve this figure or is this pretty much perfection already.

To be honest, I don't think so. This figure is a work of art.

 

[surfin4]

they could improve with a nicely weathered version

Wouldn't be shocked if they ended up buying the Tamashii tooling. Finish the R2, and re-release C3.
