Definitely going to buy the new vac metal 3PO! I bought 3 R2’s the first time around and the new Black Series “clean’ R2 is so good I probably won’t buy another Bandai R2 unless they release a (hopefully) spring-loaded Periscope version, with claw arm replacing the right body panel arm, and hopefully a couple more opening panels in the body as well!). C’mon Bandai, we know you can do it!!!
@@toys210maybe. But I always wanted my threepio shinier - that’s why the terrible Mafex one, with all its QC issues, is what I have on display. Its days are counted though 😂 (also the R2 Mafex is a favourite - absolutely gorgeous weathering on that one.
I see the new figures as rhe ceremony version, because in the ending they look so clean especially R2 who was repaired from the battle.
@@gregcervantes9268 yea that was the scene, but I think I definitely prefer the weathered look a bit more

@@NewtonDKC nice...I wish they would make a r2d2 with reflective dome too
New 3PO looks great imo & prefer that over v1. Still prefer v1 R2. Thx much for the post (as been waiting on a review for this update).
@@vnishpt7036 yea I figured people would want to see the difference between the 2 since prototype pics are never now they look during production
I like the older set better. George's "used universe" is the way to go!
@@TheCollectorCave yea I feel the same, the new just doesn't look right
❤ the comparison.😂
I prefer the older set aswell. Dirty look is always better than the complete clean one.
@@grievous444 yea it gives it another layer of depth to the toy
love the review! would be better if change the backboard color~
@@nemowang-g6l thanks, yea yellow on yellow made it hard to see. I'll try to keep that in mind for future yellowish figures 👍
Very nice! Love the way you can bend C-3PO's legs haha
@@ZardoziYTP hehe yea way more articulated than the film costume
The old R2 looks much better. C3PO looks better with this latest release. It was much shinier than the first Bandai in the movies.
@@georgeleorgebeorge2354 both seems nice, just a matter of personal preference I guess
