Hot Toys C-3PO (ROTJ)

Thank the maker! Figure looks very nice, and i love the swap out heads.

The speckled on weathering looks a tad cheap though. I'm not the biggest fan of those new bases either.

Please tell me those elbow actuator hinges are made of die-cast or some sort of metal...

If it’s like the AOTC version then NO! These are plastic.

Question to all detail-fanatic freaks: is this the same sculpt as AOTC C-3PO? Me can’t see any differences, aside from the “repaired” knee antenna.

Oh no... that being one of the main reasons why I didin't buy the Sideshow version...

This dude's copy looks like it got a double-dose of the orange spray gun by mistake.

The C in C-3PO stands for ‘cheetoh’

I think the weathering looks great!

Are there really no posable fingers ? Considering all their Iron Man experience, that's pretty poor.

Agreed. Looks a bit overdone here, but looked just right in the SS inboxing. Might be luck of the draw for us buyers.

Who will be the first brave soul to try a cape cod cloth cleaning?

I was hoping for articulated fingers too as they were so well done on the Robocop figure. I thought it would be a given on a 3PO fig.

Those teeny tiny batteries are a bit of a disappointment as well. For those who own the AOTC version do they last very long?

great posing on the Scout, but anyone who knows Threepio well would know that that arm position is absolutely impossible

It seems to be a carbon copy of the AOTC version. Not that it’s bad, it’s a real good figure but I, and probably a lot of you guys too, expected some improvement. HT cheaping out. Posable hands should’ve been a given.

Welp, that’s why this release was pushed up.

I preordered both C-3PO and Padme on sideshow, but as separate orders. Is it possible to ask them to combine to save on shipping and the inevitable tax fees?

What's with all the cinnamon all over 3PO?

I'm not sure if saving on shipping is a thing? I can't recall every receiving multiple items in a single box/shipment. However, there's no way to save on taxes; sales tax is sales tax, no matter if its separate or in one order.

Sorry I just looked it up and Sideshow doesn't do combined shipping. Thanks for the help

It’s our new spice. Gold spice. Excellent addition to our bland displays.

Yes, it is possible to ask and their response will be “sorry our systems are not able to combine confirmed orders :-(“

I tried, SSC business system failed me.
