Description
📅 PRE-ORDER – EXPECTED MID-SEPTEMBER 2026
Pre-order now and your protocol droid is secured against our supplier allocation. Sorted.
Leave it too late and we'll still try. We'll ring round, we'll pull favours, and quite often we'll win. But life-size Sideshow pieces are not casually restocked between the mugs and the keyrings. Once the allocation is gone, the next seller may be a Gatekeeper with an alarming understanding of compound interest.
Don't feed the Gatekeeper.
Expected arrival dates come from the distributor and can move. If you need any further information, please contact help@theswordstall.co.uk.
At last, someone in the house who understands etiquette, protocol and precisely how doomed everyone is. Sideshow's C-3PO Life-Size Figure brings the galaxy's most anxious translator into your collection at a genuinely life-size 1:1 scale.
Standing an impressive 188 cm tall, Threepio has the gleaming gold exterior, silver right leg, exposed multicoloured abdominal wiring and carefully applied weathering that make him look as though he has just wandered off the Millennium Falcon to tell you the odds. He stands on a Falcon-inspired base complete with ship-flooring and circuitry detail, because a standard plinth would apparently be far too calm.
His shoulder joints are articulated, allowing the arms to rotate into different poses ranging from dignified protocol droid to the familiar state of total mechanical panic. The magnetic restraining bolt can also be removed from his torso for an extra display option.
Then he starts talking. Using the included remote control, C-3PO plays a random selection of recognisable lines from his adventures across the Skywalker saga. His eyes illuminate at the press of a button on the back of his head, with the interactive functions powered by the included external cord. It is accurate, dramatic and guaranteed to make walking into a dark room much more eventful.

Why pre-order? (He has calculated the odds, and they are not comforting.)
Life-size collectibles are made and shipped in tightly controlled quantities. There is no endless warehouse full of spare protocol droids waiting for somebody to make up their mind.
This piece is expected in mid-September 2026. That is a distributor estimate rather than a promise carved into carbonite, so it may change. If it does, we'll update the information and dispatch your piece as soon as it reaches us.
Reserve him now. Work out where a 6-foot-2 golden droid is going later. That is very much a problem for future-you, who will be too delighted to complain.
