C-3PO figures tend to be plentiful. He's a popular, perennial character that requires few paint applications (especially if you're doing a die-cast figure). His design isn't quite as useful for customs, since other protocol-type droids had different style heads, but the figures are cheap and plentiful. So I grabbed one and took a picture of it to send to Big, warning him I was going to do something unholy to it.
He seemed excited to see what I'd do with it, and I decided to play it safe and pattern it after the blue droid in the worst-ever episode of "The Mandalorian." It was an unbelievably beautiful repaint, in a decidedly less-than-beautiful hour of television.
Amazingly, in the more than two years since the series ended, I couldn't find any other photos of it, except the one I grabbed in 2023.
And speaking of lack of photos, I forgot to take some of the work-in-progress. Which pretty much leaves us with:
I might need to ask Big to send me a better photo, since I gave the repainted Artoo and Threepio to him when he last visited.
