Damn, all the other photos with the exception of pilot Luke, were so good, but now Josh has dropped the ball. Still amazingly sharp, but the exposure and white balance are off. And this angle is going to make him look like Jay Leno.

May be the best picture yet... but I don't know. I just don't know.

Here, let's look at it with some corrections. Obviously I don't know what the target is because I've never seen this SOB in person, but at least the white is no longer blue and the exposure is bumped a bit.

Eye lights need/should be working.........

Looking better.

Photoshop some lit eyes now.

Photoshop some lit eyes now.

Ask Josh what he thinks about it in person.

Damn. Like I have nothing better to do… I have to run some of my fresh tomato sauce over to a friend's house, maybe someone else can do the eyes in the meantime? No lasers!

Ask Josh what he thinks about it in person.

Better still, ask him to plead with Sideshow to put the bloody droids on the same level for a new photo. PLEASE! I don't ask for much, but when I do, I expect it to be done right away and to a level of perfection that people will talk about for years.

Where are the 360 views? I can't recall if we still had them last year... but I'm pretty sure they did in 2012. While I'm stoked by how much we're getting, it's a bummer there's no dios or any extra effort put into this years displays.

Maybe they knew they couldn't compete with the Hot Toys wall of Iron Man.

 

[rhboyd]

did a little photo compare thing.... references noted... I like... it ain't 100% perfect, but pretty darned close....

 

[Wor-Gar]

Open your mouth, 3PO.

All I see is chin now.

 

[Darth Waller]

He definitely needs a bigger mouth.

 

[user 19388]

i always dug this look for 3PO, think I still have this comic somwhere.

 

[rhboyd]

yeah... mouth needs to be a little more open... but the chin size is the same... I overlaid the images to get sizing right, and they are... taking into account the slight shift in head tilt and camera angles... pretty darned close. I'll be getting him for SURE!!!

 

[Pixelpiper]

I'm not sure how companies can keep screwing up 3PO's head. It's extremely basic and very easy to tell during any stage of the 3D design where the faults are. There's enough reference material out there to do a better job than just "good enough". I'm including Tama in the list of companies here, because IMO, they missed the head as well.

Looks ok so far. Waits to see final product.

ok so nit picking aside, personally I think the 3P0 and R2 look fantastic and they will be the ones I buy hands down, Idc if the mouth is .001inches too small or what ever. I do however want them to be in scale so I used two photos posted on here earlier and put them in photoshop. WARNING I am not an expert on using photoshop intact I have don't use it often at all, so I may have done this a hard way Idk. Any ways here is a rough look at the scale they will be to each other. I used the Sideshow name cards as references trying to size them equal to each other as best as possible, then moved the image around so that they appeared to be on as equal of ground as possible from what I can tell, in other words this is a very ROUGH reference guide to their height in comparison to each other.
