| Diecast C-3PO | |
| You have to admit, there was something about C-3PO, the overly-polite golden protocol droid, that made you want to see him kick ass. Well, if you share this sentiment then you absolutely need Takara's die-cast rendition of the big priss. The figure came packaged in a nice cardboard box that was printed with some pretty attractive graphics. Inside was a styrofoam insert which held not only the figure, but a stand and some black projectiles as well. Projectiles you say? Yep. This being an ass-kicking C-3PO, he fires missiles out of his abdomen. It's weird, I know. But when you think about it, Takara had a pretty good idea: C-3PO was so boring as a character, he pretty much needed an action feature to liven him up. Many years later Hasbro did a similar thing with their R5-D4 figure, which fired a giant missile of its head. |
