November 15, 201014 yr I'm a bit surprised LEGO put their logo on this thing... Sure, it might be a well working pen, and you can swap the Jango for 3PO on it, but it's not much of a LEGO product. So how does the pen work?
November 15, 201014 yr Cool, thanks for those pics. Threepio looks weird only partly chromed, but Jango Boba looks pretty good with that helmet if you ignore the stud. Is it just me, though, or does the helmet sit kinda loosely on his head? One thing that chrome Threepio's head could be useful for is to attach one of these on top of it and have Artoo drag it behind him.
November 15, 201014 yr The torso, arms, and head aren't too bad, the head could do with some work if someone wanted it to look like a figure. but the legs are the problem. because they are joined up like that it looks silly. I don't know how but if the legs could be chromes then it wouldn't we too bad a fig. Maybe using a chrome pen (like for covering scratches on pipes and cars) and use that on a pair of white legs. I chromed a fig using one of those pens, but accidentally left it out in the rain after a photo-shoot, and it ran. (the paint not the fig )

One thing that chrome Threepio's head could be useful for is to attach one of these on top of it and have Artoo drag it behind him. The helmet is actually very tight. The peg of boba's head is a smidge too wide for the helmet. So the helmet fits so tight that if you pull the hemlet off, it just pulls boba's head off the neck post. I have to use the pen's metal rod to push the head out. In regards to the pen. It has a short reservoir. You twist the blue cone at the tip and the pen retracts or comes out.
November 17, 201014 yr I was considering getting this mainly for Jango- would that be a good investment, I should I just stick with the Mando BP?

November 18, 201014 yr EPIC FIND. its too bad its not able to move its legs like the others. My bro has one just like it!
November 18, 201014 yr I was in TRU the other day and I saw these Star Wars pens in the checkout. There is another one thats a stormie and tusken raider. I saw the Tusken Raider and just thought, OMG! Until I realized how ridiculous they look. (The Tusken pen printing is the worst thing I've ever seen.)

The Tusken isn't new, but I don't remember him being packaged with the Stormie.
December 12, 201014 yr Those abominations look absolutely horrid. I had an Ewok minifig pen like that a while ago, but at least they didn't butcher the Ewok . -ES
December 12, 201014 yr Just disgusting... It's a shame that TLC can sell that sh... It is a pen. I'm sure it works just fine when used as a writing instrument. Yes, it looks horrible for a LEGO, but aren't these made by a Chinese company and not intended for play?
August 8, 201113 yr It's funny how we have a review on Eurobricks for this "Poor Man's Chrome C-3PO" and none for the actual one
