Galactic Archive Series: C-3PO Premium Electronic Head Unboxing and Weathering

[@dannyschiffeleers9644]

Your upgrade video made me buy it for over €300 here in the netherlands just because you made me see the possibilities. Thnx

[@mh2327]

Sydney, Australia here. Me too!

[@TK-ff5kc]

It was reported "It will be a limited-edition collectible with only 3,720 being sold." and at $120 you really can't complain especially with it lighting up, sounds and breaks down to the insides showing. Somone on Hyperdrive weathered the Outside Gold with elmers glue.

[@StarWarsReplicas]

Oh wow I didn’t know it would be limited edition! I can’t wait to see how other ways people customize them

[@lonesomecricket7721]

Yep that number 3720 to 1 is also the odds of successfully navigating an asteroid field.

[@SLEEPERtvOFFICIAL]

Goes to show how much a little change can have a huge difference! Loved this video man!

[@mercurybird9711]

What an amazing improvement! Looks so much better after weathering. Nice job!

[@StarWarsReplicas]

Yeah he needed some love!

[@DesSherwoodGuitarTuition]

Wow, that looks 100 times better with the weathering! Nice job!

[@Nagedzi]

Awesome work! I managed to grab two Threepios from Disney Online so I can display in both configurations. I will definitely reference this video when I weather the Episode 1 version.

[@HyperdriveStarWars]

Nice work Gabe! Looks 100% better!

[@StarWarsReplicas]

Thanks! It was fun to work on!

[@armandoolivasvideogallery3742]

Good video showing how to do weathering. I use R&B and it works metallic miracles!

[@StarWarsReplicas]

Thanks I love that stuff!

[@GeneralKenobisBunker]

Woah! this looks 10X better! great job! thanks for the tutorial!

[@StarWarsReplicas]

Thanks, I'm glad you liked the tutorial!

[@Imperialarchive]

Thanks for the tutorial Gabe looks amazing I will have a go myself 👌 I got 2 so u can display both masked and unmasked together

[@StarWarsReplicas]

Cool idea! Would look awesome side by side

[@doubleedgedfist1535]

Looks fantastic!

[@IamRolling]

Great idea, im gonna do this to mine as well

[@daisirbonfanti4873]

Amazing job!!!

[@StarWarsReplicas]

Thank you so much!

[@DarkLordSullivanThe2nd]

Should have been a "AI" assistant like "Hey Google" type! That would be cool!

[@coollectionFun]

Looks amazing, good job.

[@StarWarsReplicas]

Thank you!

[@taldynamo8298]

Incredible! These new Disney pieces combined with your weathering processes really makes these pieces look fantastic, and a great price point too! How does the metallic shell look in person? Does it look plasticy?

[@StarWarsReplicas]

Thank you very much! The gold shell looks good!

[@DavidNeal-mf9ky]

I've started collecting 12" Star Wars figures from Force of Destiny and 3/4 figures Also action man figures and accessories

[@trevorgibbs1541]

Great to get an affordable C-3PO head, I love mine. Nice weathering job. 🦘

[@Blaster1360]

Okay...That is pretty damn cool.

[@paspitale]

C-3PO was in 10 movies. Don’t forget about Rogue One!

[@Michael-tf8om]

The weathering impacting the touch sensor, killing the sounds working, is a major concern. All good?

[@TheDadVader]

Super dope!

[@StarWarsReplicas]

Thanks bro!

[@Michael-tf8om]

ABSOLUTELY want to do this when I get mine. But the sounds are a main draw for us. Does the weathering impact the touch sensor?

[@wasoha]

does the touch activation still work well with the paint or did it lose sensitivity? thinking about doing the same thing but concerned about functionality

[@antwaynetube]

Impressive. Does the weathering impact the touch sensor?

[@Treehouseink-BD]

Its cool i would say not something i would buy

[@jayroman3627]

Awesome !

[@StarWarsReplicas]

It was a fun one to work on!

[@Movie-Collectibles]

Star Wars, Arts 'n Crafts day... 🤖😋

[@SVPrototype1]

Looks great! Is there a way to tone down the shiny chrome on it? Seems way too shiny

[@StarWarsReplicas]

Yeah I’m sure if you just did some super diluted weathering it would knock down the shine

[@unfated1]

It is a bit smaller and the sculpt in very narrow in the face.

[@DavidNeal-mf9ky]

Star Wars isn't Disney sorry

[@stevetb7777]

Pretty cool, but the fact that the mouth doesn't move is a huge lost opportunity.

[@AlexTheMan2022]

The mouth doesn’t move in the movie either…?

[@stevetb7777]

@@AlexTheMan2022 LMAO! Must be the sleep deprivation talking... of course it does not!!! I've been dealing with the 12+ Halloween animatronics I bought this year... HAH! I have animatronics on the brain. Thank you for pointing out what should have been obvious to me! LOL!!!!

[@KyleTheDalek]

Why can they make all this cool stuff? But not make better lightsabers that are 1:1, battle ready, got all the features custom sabers have? And mass produce them and make them cheaper? Some of the custom made ones are 200 more, and are worth the expense.

[@StarWarsReplicas]

Right?!

[@KyleTheDalek]

@ Talking of which who do you think make the best Vader saber, which is battle ready and well priced? I’m getting the impression most sabers or the tech in them is imported and just stuck in each makers sabers? I’m in the U.K. as Padawan outpost has good reviews, superneox and a few others.

[@StarWarsstuffPodcast]

You may get your wish soon! 😊

[@the_royal_frick634]

Truthfully, the gold needs to be weathered. 3po is neverrrr that clean 😂

[@Treehouseink-BD]

Well when he first gets the gold

[@jeremydrew1227]

Revenge of the Sith says otherwise

[@Treehouseink-BD]

@@jeremydrew1227 oh I'm thinking on of one of the cartoons

[@flyboy451]

Isn't he polished up at the end of the films? Or some of them?

[@the_royal_frick634]

Yall, yes, I know he's pretty clean at some points (tho never perfectly).
