Tamashii Nations has revealed official images and information for their upcoming 12PM C3PO. This is the 1st Star Wars figure to be featured in their new 1/6 Tamashii Perfect Model line. Due to its diecast content, Tamashii has also branded it as a Chogokin product. Here’s a product summary by Tamashii:

Each and every detail has been thoroughly verified by Seiji Takahashi, Japan’s foremost Star Wars scholar.No details were spared to replicate the character with perfect accuracy in the form of a posable action figure.A perfect representation of the on-screen character from every angle, the Chogokin C-3P0 represents a fusion of the Chogokin ethos with the precision of a scale model.
