A New Hope - See-Threepio (C-3PO). Never accused of being the most accurate figure in the vintage line, See-Threepio (C-3PO) still gets props for keepin' it real. Unlike some of his 12 back chums except his closest friend, the protocol droid got replaced with a newer version in 1982, but when you take his spiffy sack away --and put his arms and legs back on?you?d be hard pressed to spot any sculpting differences. This figure was packed without any accessories. Though all vintage figures have minor variations, the only major variation for the See-Threepio (C-3PO) figure is the hard to come by Japanese Takara version, which, though in a similar stance, is an entirely different sculpt. It is easiest to spot by looking at the arms and especially the head. If you have one in hand you will notice the COO (Country Of Origin) stamp stating 'Made In Japan' and the phillips head screw where the standard bolt is usually found on the figure's back.
