That BB-8 is awesome. WANT. Truth be told, C-3PO with a red arm is probably the most endearing I've ever found him. I was kind of anti-C-3PO prior to TFA but his joke about the red arm was perfect. It still makes me chuckle. If I wasn't content with the Black series version I would probably get this.

Wow, I'm tempted to pick this up now! I wish they made it where BB-8 could roll like in the movie with the way Hot Toys did their BB-8, but other than that, this BB-8 could be used for a shelf display and since I hollowed out the base of my Bandai BB-8 to roll like in the movie, I can use the Bandai BB-8 for film making! This C-3PO blew my mind though and I don't even have him... it's like Figuarts Harley from Suicide Squad all over again! LMAO!!! I bet Figuarts R2 and 3PO will be the same exact way until I get them! I really need a 6 inch 3PO from the Galactic Era or even the Clone Wars era or at least one I can use for TCW (my favorite era) and I'm also trying to find that perfect R2. I hope they manage to make a 1/12 scaled BB-8 that rolls like the movie model but I don't know if it'll happen. But we can always hope, right?

my Mafex experience so far: Empire Boba, looks great, hands fall off too easy, overall I don't regret it. Kylo ren: face does not look as good as it did in promo pics, soft goods are not great, saber and helmet are awesome, I could have skipped it, Phasma, everything about her is great I love her. I have this 3p0 and bb8 on the way, glad to see they will likely fall in the boba fett category.

Robo, we went back and forth a bit about C3PO and the Mandela Effect and it seems to have struck again with this review. The first version has a gold foot and silver lower leg and that's exactly how I remember and it just looks right compared to the other versions which are either completely gold or have the lower leg and foot silver. I just can't let this go. Very trippy to me. Another thing I recently noticed and wanted your opinion on is chewie's bow caster. Everything I've seen recently show the scope piece on the top as two small scopes side by side with a tube in between them. My memory of it is of one large scope on top. Thoughts?
@jerretzwicker599

***** Look into the Mandela Effect. It's pretty freaky if you look a bit in depth without dismissing it before hand. I know the way it currently is but I have (as well as thousands and thousands of others) have very vivid memories of things being different when we first saw them but history shows there was never a change although you can find plenty of residual proof left over if you search. Look up videos by Moneybag on KZitem to get an idea of what I'm talking about.

I don't know which are the brands there (I live in Chile) but cyanocrilate is the basic active component. Do you understand what I mean by "gel"? I don't know how they call that kind of glue there, maybe "jelly"... It's the one that's not liquid, but a bit solid, that one is better for this as its not only stronger and gap filler, but it has some flexibility too. You can't go wrong with 2 component epoxy tho, it's the stronger one, just make sure to build a small machine to keep it strongly pressed in precise place for 10 mins to achieve optimal results :p
