This is a very nice C-3PO kit in vinyl by Screamin. I always liked the large scale they worked in. Bigger is always better. This kit, to me, looked a bit cartoonish because of the large eyes, and I liked that. I decided to paint the background in his "eyes" white instead of the standard yellow. I also made the "pupil" very small. This made it look much like the Droids cartoon 3PO. Unfortunately when I got this kit, one of the feet was smashed. Luckily, the broken parts were floating around inside the box. The people I bought it from were nice enough to send me super glue and accelerator to patch it up. This kit was molded in black vinyl, so I think that made it have nicer contrast with the gold paint. I also really like the pose on this kit. Some autonomy was possible, but the small injection molded parts that go on the inside of his elbows limited that. Overall this kit was great, I got it on eBay for less than $20.
