If you were like me, you bought a ton of C-3POs at
marked down prices that were in the deluxe set. So I
thought to pass on this one. But it does have a couple
of note-worthy things to mention.
Here are my subjective and objective reviews for the
figure:
Head Sculpt:
Not bad, but could have been so much better. The neat
thing is that it includes a Battle Droid head to swap
out anytime you want. So go get those "Jedi dogs!"
Rating 2 out of 5 Holocrons.
Articulation:
This figure is really lacking here. THough one kind of
saving grace is that it retains the ability to be
taken apart, just as the deluxe one did from a few
years ago. Still it’s not enough.
Rating 2out of 5 Holocrons
Paint Application:
Marginally better than the deluxe set, it still lacks.
I’m just not a fan of the armor color at all and would
have rather seen a gray-washed figure instead of the
akward brown and green armor parts.
Rating 2.5 out of 5 Holocrons
Overall sculpt:
It’s a reissue, so what can we really say about it?
The sculkpt overall is good, but it just doesn’t save
the figure from itself.
Rating 3 out of 5 Holocrons
Accessories:
He comes with a battler droid head, blaster, and droid backpack, plus the obligatory stand. Not much else needed here, so it will suffice.
Rating 3 out of 5 Holocrons
Customization possibilities:
Repaint the armor and you got another pull apart
droid. Not much else here, unless you buy two of him
and make him four armed or four legged....
Rating 2 out of 5 Holocrons
Playability:
It’s one saving grace is that it can be taken apart
and with the head swap included it almost doubles for
two figures. Beyond that there just isn’t enough here
to make this figure exciting.
Rating 3 out of 5 Holocrons
Overall Score:
Okay so if you’re into package variation then you’ve
got another for the collection as it was packed with
either the C-3PO on the figure and the Battle Droid
head to the side OR vice-versa. I was disappointed
that we were getting this particular reissue when I
heard of it and seeing it again didn’t change my
mind.
