I shouldn't have bought that!
He also raises his arms in the boussh scene like he's being 'robbed' in Rotj. That's what i'll need from the figure to work for my display.
Hope these pistons can stand up to the various display options we all have in mind

With Batman chicks dig the car. With Star Wars I hear it's Artoo and Threepio.

I'll be more than content with Sideshow's as well.
So....... How do these articulate?

Based on the historical results of their past products of course.

All that may have changed, they did Luke with SS's approval and now HT have their own license so......
Anyway, I've made room for Sideshow Threepio.
Historically, Sideshow does great with the non human figures. Its their human figures (based on final production) we all need to worry about. Happy with the look of this C-3P0

Historically Hot Toys produced some hideous figures, in terms of face sculpt, paint apps, tailoring and packaging. Things change for everyone, Hot Toys isn't the exception here. In the back of my mind I've had a nagging sentiment for a long time now. Be careful what you wish for.

C'mon, you could post that comment again and replace the words "Hot Toys" with the words "Side Show" or "Medicom" and it would ring just as true.
Lets just wait and see. I'm certainly not defending Ht either, I have ED209, both the mars attacks figures.. etc

I think that was his point. From what I've seen the accuracy and quality of Star Wars collectibles from every company at every price point remains inconsistent even within their own lines; so while some of us (myself included) have high hopes for Hot Toys, one never knows.

THAT's exactly my point.

So.. was there a mention yet of whether SSC 3PO's arm pistons are plastic or metal?
Polystone. Weren't you listening?

all rubber.
Let's laugh together.
Did 3PO ever bend his arms more than that in any of the movies?I don't recall his arm ever being perfectly straight either - so even if it was at some point, the fact I don't recall it is good - for this figure.
I am watching movie now and only in some spots does he extend arms like obi wans hut. Most of time it's bent. But you do see movement in bend.
The actor said he had very little movement in the plastic suit.
