C-3PO (Star Wars) Action Figure: Overview

C-3PO Figure in front of Sandcrawler

This C-3PO action figure has the silver right leg from the knee down characteristic of him from A New Hope. It's nice that he has his mouth open in that familiar C-3PO look of shock or at being aghast at something which R2-D2 has just bleeped something offensive at him.

The bend in C-3PO's arm (which is the same in many iterations of the figure) is quite good for waving in the air when he's lost on the Tatooine desert or for giving R2-D2 a slap around the head when he says something which Threepio finds objectionable.

You can just make out the restraining bolt on C-3PO's left breast. I think more could have been done with this in terms of paint and detail to better set the droid in context.

This C-3PO figure was originally released as the 1998 POTF2 C-3PO Millennium Minted Coin Collection. It's much easier to find the action figure without the coin but without it probably impossible tell whether you have the Original Trilogy action figure or the POTF2 one.

This C-3PO's body is very reflective indeed which makes it quite difficult to get a decent photo of it. There are duller C-3POs which are much easier to photograph.

See my articles on the hidden significance of C-3PO in the Star Wars Trilogies: C3PO and the Amputation Motif in the Star Wars Films and C3PO Darth Vader's First Child and the Bespin Reunion.

All Star Wars action figures, vehicles, collectibles and Star Wars toys shown on this website are the 3.75 inch scale and from my own private Star Wars collection unless otherwise stated. Where possible original vintage accessories have been used but in some instances I have placed Kenner Star Wars figures with either reproduction weapons and accessories or for Hasbro figures close approximations have been used. This is mostly the case for modern Star Wars lightsabers where the correct item can be very difficult to identify on some ocassions. Vintage Star Wars action figures are shown with their original weapon or accessory when I have them. When a vintage Kenner action figure is shown with an accessory which is not original I have tried to point this out where possible.

All of the Star Wars action figures shown were purchased second hand, usually incomplete, and in bulk. They have been reunited with their original weapons and accessories where we could get hold of them.
