Here is a look at the new Tamashii 12PM C-3PO & R2-D2 figure which were on display at their booth at New York Comic Con.

This product is a collaboration product of Sideshow Collectibles and Tamashii Nations.

The non-gold C-3PO shown below was a prototype they had out and were allowing people to hold. I can tell you this was possibly the heaviest figures I have ever held. These are very solid and see very well made.

C-3PO's Elbows feature working cylinders. A world first for the 12 inch figure scale.The stomach detailing utilizes actual wires: another world first.Knee-backs with asymmetrical detailing: yet another world first.

The chest features accurate detail down to the tiniest bumps and dents.The legs are asymmetrically designed, even down to the differing colors seen in Episode IV.The removable droid control bolt attaches magnetically, and the comlink can be held in C-3P0’s hand.

C-3PO is scheduled for release in February 2013 for ¥33,600. US $399.99.
