For all his prissy manners and compulsive odds-quoting, C-3PO is about as self-aware as a droid can get. Perpetually paired with a brash astromech droid, he and his partner, R2-D2, make up the Alliance's most famous droid team. C-3PO is a Cybot Galactica 3PO Human-Cyborg Relations Droid. He was activated 112 years before his adventures with the Rebel Alliance, and his first job was said to be programming binary load fifters. As always, Gentle Giant Studios, recent winners of Diamond's Gem Award for best mini-bust of 2003, have created an elaborately detailed and highly collectible new edition to their growing cast of Star Wars character sculptures. It's so real you can practically smell it. Almost. Edition size not set at press time.
