Not one of the greatest of Kotobukiya's figures. But nice nevertheless.

Yes, but they don't fit with my 1:6 scale figures... that's why they're rotten, 'cause the quality and attention to detail is great.

Hope to get them on x-mas. The guys from Kotobukiya make a great job i think. Great items for not too much money. I have 12 in my collection, everyone from the OT except Darth Maul and Jango. I prefer to collect items from EP 4-6.

I really like the finish on those two. Any chance of seeing them put next to other Koto-kits to see that size difference you mention.

According to starwars.com databank:

C3PO 1.67m
Clonetrooper 1.83m

Either the Koto Clone is too tall or Koto 3PO is too short, because the Clone is about one Clone helmet taller. That is, give or take……34cm (MR Clone helmet)

Your thoughts please.

1/7 ........never !!! Although its a pity that they are all in a different size, the most important is, that they are looking great. And in my opinion this is really one of the best items from Koto. :wink:

Another thought would be that the clone is too tall to be true 1:7 scale, as it looks almost identical in scale to the Marmit trooper, which is 1:6 scale, except that it a wee, tiny bit smaller looking. Also, the C-3PO looks to be in scale with the Medicom Vader, from what I can tell in the picture - and the Vader is closer to 1:7 scale than the 1:6 scale it is supposed to be.

Here is an example of the size difference between the Kaiyodo/Screamin' 1:6 Vader and 3PO and the size difference between the two seems to match your Vader and 3PO.

Isn't Boba nearly 15 cm taller than C-3PO? Looks they have the same size.
