Same.I haven’t even gotten an email that it was charging soon. Must be getting a second batch.

My beloved Tamashii suddenly looks like a Bobblehead!When compared with the real deal i think HT did a pretty good job scale wise.

It's a superb figure and sculpt for sure but I still think the head is a touch undersized and slightly too rounded. I don't have mine yet but I have used the AOTC head (which I assume is 100% the same sculpt as ROTJ version) on a custom protocol droid so have that in-hand.When compared with the real deal i think HT did a pretty good job scale wise.

Damn. Now that you see that its hard to un-see itThe HT eyes are too close together.
And I also thought the HT is too short, but I looked at my SS 3PO and realized he's too tall. I think HT might have the height correct, at least relative to their own ANH Luke and gang.
Yeah, the eyes look way too close together for my liking, but it’s the super skinny neck that I can’t un-see. That just really throws the whole accuracy off. Not sure what HT train of thought was there? Someone on here said that it’s maybe to give it more articulation, but you want the figures movements and articulation to mimic the character, and in threepio’s case, his movement is pretty constricted in every aspect. It’s a great looking figure, don’t get me wrong, but there’s a lot that they can hopefully tweak for the inevitable ANH or ESB release, which are the ones I’m holding out for.Damn.

Yeah I think you nailed a key problem with the eyes being a bit too close together: it creates a sort of "Harry Potter glasses" look.The HT eyes are too close together.

Wrong is wrong, whether you know it or not.

Also not sure if he's a tad short because bad headsculpt aside, the SSC 3PO I thought was close to the right height for 3PO and the HT seems somewhat noticeably shorter.
Will be interesting to have mine all lined up too, though I don't have the Medicom.

Who's the guitar player?
I want to say Bob Dylan but I'm still unsure.
To me the HT sculpt here looks better than the original in face & color.

The eyes are too large, which in turn is making them look too close together.
