Yours looks great! Is the weathering a different colour? It appears to be more of muted brown paint speckled on rather than orange.

Definitely not orange at all. Looks very gold. Maybe second batches are different?
You could be right. Maybe they listened to feedback and dialed back on the orange.

Maybe I mispoke. These are gold-painted, not plated?
I just got mine from Sideshow, and am really liking it. The weathering does not seem as bad as i thought, but I think I'd like to try and tone it down a bit. Has anyone tried using cape cod cloths to remove some weathering like peopled did with the chrome Mando?

This is really a great figure. Easily one of my favorites right now. It just pops on the shelf. I loved the aotc version and this is even more striking. Padme just arrived too and is a nice figure, but this blows it away. Not even close.
I’m really tempted to get another one for my endor display.

I don't have mine yet but based on so many reviews and pics I know I'm going to love how much it stands out, you can't beat that shiny gold

When did you order yours if you don't mind me asking? It definitely seems like the first to pre-order are getting theirs which makes sense. I only ordered mine very recently.
I ordered mine fairly recently in February, so I definitely wasn't one of the first to pre-order. SS really has no obvious pattern as to how they ship. From our prespective, it seems pretty random. I'm sure you'll get yours soon, they seem to be rolling out now.

I received my HT 3PO about a week ago. I immediately felt like the head was a bit undersized, the face a bit off, and the finish looking more like a copper/brownish gold color versus a brassy finish. Coming here and reading the posts have confirmed I'm not alone in my opinion.
Not without flaws, my favorite is still the Tamashii Nations version. I hope Hot Toys improves on later incarnations.

I hope I get a waitlist conversion for this.

Someone here did try that and said it had no effect. But may be worth a second shot?

I got the AOTC R2 since he's much dirtier and that's how I like him haha

I should get me a base, since Hot Toys dropped the ball on that.@Cocoboloboy Madea wonderful display base, just what I wanted
I'm still annoyed by the way Salacious turned out. Looks like something you'd put on a cake.
I don't disagree, I will update my display with R2 Shocking him though when I can get to the box.
Yeah I said a few weeks ago it looks like a 6" scale Hasbro BS figure (perhaps even a 4" scale fig) blown up to 1/6 scale.
Shocking for such an expensive release. At least give it some real fur on the head and neck.
