R2 looks really great. Hope your overseas adventure turns out to be all you hope for.

Thanks. Actually, I'm back from overseas. Let's just say it's good to be home.

Got this one on the front page, but didn't have time to get my response on. I think this looks so much better and to scale than the other six inch version from Hasbro. Bravo sir.

6'' R5-D4

Bandai's R2-D2 model also comes with an R5-D4 droid. As with that model, this one is easy to put together and fully articulated! With Tatooine Luke coming out next year, now Hasbro just needs to make a Jawa figure so I can make a small droid sale diorama.

It looks great too. I was saddened to hear that Bandai kits weren't going to be imported to the US anymore!

Yeah, okay - I missed the year change in the date stamp between posts, my bad. R5 looks great, though.

6'' C-3PO Bandai Model custom
« Reply #232 on: September 22, 2015, 06:33:44 PM »
Because I liked the R2-D2 model kit so much, I got the C-3PO Bandai model kit. As with R2, this figure is perfectly in scale with the Hasbro Black Series 6'' figures. As Hasbro hasn't even released any version of 3PO in this scale yet, this model fills a big hole in my collection.



The model is fairly well articulated - well, about as well as 3PO is ever articulated. It comes with two sets of arms, articulated and non-articulated. I repainted one of the left arms red to match his appearance in The Force Awakens. He also comes with an alternate head (one without a dent) and a chest plate with a restraining bolt.



The model was a bit more difficult to put together and sometimes the gold finish got a bit chipped as I cut pieces from the plastic rack, but overall I love how he looks.





[note: C-3PO looks slightly taller because he is standing on a black base]

Great review. We sorely need Hasbro to release their six inch version.

Between you, JDeck, and Wraithnine I am sold on these Bandai Kits. I am just waiting on my favorite character and vehicles. Love the job you have done on this one with the red arm and review and it is now sporting on our front pages. Thank you for sharing.

Thanks! If you collect 6'', you really need to get these. Great substitutes for the droids in the 6'' line.

6'' Rey weathering
« Reply #238 on: October 11, 2015, 08:15:22 AM »
I added some weathering to my 6'' Rey figure. In all the reference photos I've seen, her garments are quite soiled.
