[QUOTE="Snaketibe, post: 384472, member: 7379"] I do of course agree that the stance of your new figure is wider than is usual for a fixed limb C-3PO, but let's not forget that that version shipped up to and including the Kenner 48 back, and of course actually overlapped the removable limbs version, so it is highly probable there will be some stance variations across the range of production runs. The Imperial Gunnery Forum offers us this close up view of the COOs across the fixed limb variants, and whilst a full length shot would be nicer, it certainly looks to me like there is some stance variation across the non-Takara and non-Lili Ledy versions: http://www.imperialgunneryforum.com/Vintage-Star-Wars-COO-Guide-h14.htm#C3PO%20%28Original%29 I'm not saying I'm definitely right about it being a fixed limb version, but I am pretty confident. It's not just the bright golden colour, which is unusual on the removable limbs version these days, but also since the date stamp is definitely 1977 rather than 1982 (and this was definitely updated for the removable limbs version), then the legs are almost certainly from a fixed limb version, and who on earth would go to the trouble of attaching original FL legs to a RL figure? And besides, as Olisuds pointed out, the rivet is consistent with the FL version, so whilst it is a wide stance, I also think it is probably a legit FL version, albeit perhaps a wider stance variant not widely known (excuse the pun ;-)) [/QUOTE]
