"Of course I've looked better!"--See Threepio, The Empire Strikes Back
I'm thrilled (well, okay, moderately
pleased) that they finally released official Star Wars Lego stuff,
but what good is R2-D2 without his shiny, golden counterpart to make fun
of him? I feel the same way I did when I was a kid and couldn't find
a Play-Doh set that had Threepio in it.
Anyway, here's my Lego C-3PO, shown
with the official R2-D2 (left). Originally I was bent on assembling
him from entirely yellow parts; I guess that wasn't necessary since the gold
paint covers him up completely anyhoo. Please note the wires on his
torso and the silver leg, thankyouverymuch. I also stenciled
in some chest details which didn't scan very well, I think because the gold
paint is so shiny.
I was so pleased with him that I made an Episode I version of him as well (right). He was originally one of those skeleton guys you usually see in the Time Twisters series (hey, I work in the Lego aisles, it's my job to know these things). I had to cheat a little and fill the gaps in his ribs with modeling putty and fashioned a torso disc out of some clear plastic. Everything else is paint.
I may do more of these guys; Boba Fett might be fun. It depends on how many more Lego guys I can find...
