The\u00a0Yakface Toyguide<\/a>\u00a0updates continue for\u00a0our next\u00a0entry in the\u00a06\u2033 Black Series\u00a0assortment with\u00a0the droid you don’t recognize: C-3PO (Resistance Base).<\/a><\/p>\n

PROS:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0A fantastic sculpt overall, capturing the silhouette and posture of one of the most recognizable droids in all of cinema. The details are very well done for a figure in this price point. Articulation is about what one should expect for a protocol droid as they aren’t that dynamic or action-oriented in their function anyhow. Non-TFA C-3PO fans can look forward to seeing this figure repainted as a Walgreens exclusive sporting the more popular “Original Trilogy” coloration. Hopefully we will see future releases with this body to get some additional protocol droids into the market. (Maybe Entertainment Earth<\/a> can release a 4 pack featuring R-3PO, K-3PO, TC-70\u00a0and C-3PO from Attack of the Clones<\/em>?)<\/p>\n

CONS:\u00a0<\/strong>It has taken a very<\/em> long time for C-3PO to finally come to fruition and I can’t help but feel that it’s\u00a0a slight let down in execution. While the figure is painted in\u00a0a vibrant gold hue, it’s the omission of vac-metal finish that is really the main point of contention. Secondly, this figure severely lacks in the accessory department. Other than a secondary gold arm or removable panels (like the 3.75″ Black Series version),\u00a0there isn’t a lot of “stuff” you could add to this figure to make it more interesting. Maybe the map key pulled from BB-8? Finally, the red arm should have been given a dark wash (as seen in the film) to pop some of the details in its sculpt. It looks too flat and honestly cheap with out it. What Hasbro saved in articulation, accessories and finish, could have easily been used to accentuate that “phantom limb”.<\/p>\n

Head to the toyguide<\/a>\u00a0for our detailed image gallery\u00a0and to judge for yourself whether this figure\u00a0is worth adding to your collection.<\/p>\n
