S.H.Figuarts "Star Wars: A New Hope" C-3PO Classic Ver. Action Figure Shines with a Premium Gold-Plated Finish!

BANDAI SPIRITS' TAMASHII NATIONS collectible division, known for its S.H.Figuarts action figure brand, is once again bringing new products from the classic film "Star Wars: A New Hope" under its "CineToy TAMASHII" series, which focuses on film and TV properties. Following the villainous "Darth Vader Classic Ver." and "Imperial Stormtrooper Classic Ver.," collectors can now look forward to the "C-3PO Classic Ver." action figure, with a suggested retail price of 9,900 JPY and an anticipated release in November 2024!

"C-3PO" (pronounced See-Threepio) is a 3PO-series protocol droid whose presence spans all nine main saga films, making him one of the protagonists' most loyal droid companions! At the beginning of "Star Wars: A New Hope," Princess Leia famously entrusts the Death Star plans and a critical distress message to R2-D2 and C-3PO, setting the stage for a grand galactic adventure.

The C-3PO Classic Ver. action figure marks a return for the character, following the 2017 version. Standing approximately 15.5 cm tall, this new release distinguishes itself with a brand-new gold-plated finish, a departure from the metallic paint application of its predecessor. This premium coating faithfully recreates C-3PO's iconic shiny metallic appearance from the film, with meticulously crafted details across its body. Even the silver right leg, as seen in "Star Wars: A New Hope," is perfectly replicated, giving the figure an overall high-quality feel that truly surpasses the previous iteration!
