In many ways, Lego C-3PO (75398) was always doomed to play second fiddle to the ever popular R2-D2 models, but that doesn’t mean that everybody’s favourite prissy, unpleasable, long-suffering metal mannequin isn’t going to put the effort in.

In a world where Star Wars fans tend to gravitate more towards lightsabers, cool spaceships, and action-oriented characters, how does the burnished butler of the Skywalker Saga justify his presence? Well, it’s a mid-size build that doesn’t quite have the ridiculous price tag of models like theLego UCS Millennium Falcon(even if itisone of thebest Lego sets, and certainly amongst thebest Lego Star Wars sets), with slightly over 1,000 pieces and an inherently thin, tall shape that means it wouldn’t take up much in the way of desk or shelf space.

None of this is necessarily a complaint, it’s just worth being clear about. If you’re content to see ol' threepy stand proudly on a shelf and not much else, this will serve you superbly. If you want an actual toy, you’re going to have to look elsewhere. Still, the fact that this was designed to fit perfectly with the 75379Lego R2-D2build is a wise move (even if he apparently has to stand on a little bit of dirt to get the respective heights right).

Lego C-3PO holding a smaller Lego C-3PO minifigure, all against a brick wall

C-3PO is one of those kits where you know exactly how far through you are at any point without even having to glance at the manual - because you are, in all important senses of the word, making a person. You build a leg, another leg, a nice shiny codpiece to hold them together, a base to stand them on, and then you just start working your way up the torso. The effort made towards making C-3PO actually stand in the right posture and not just flatly T-pose means there’s some behind the scenes witchcraft, using special joints in such a way that feel like you’re somehow breaking the rules - Lego is a reality of hard right-angles, after all.

But the instructions weren’t necessarily great, and there were moments where I found myself having to go back and correct earlier errors, though thankfully never more than a few steps behind. Certain pieces are laid out in such a way that you can’t see their placement unless you’re actually looking for them, and the manual never figured out how to clearly delineate between the golden brown of the sandy base and the browny-gold of C-3PO’s chassis, leading to occasional frustration.

Still, while the early legwork (ha ha) is a bit tepid, it’s quite satisfying to see it all coming together in the back half, watching the torso raise and taper up. There were a lot of spare pieces at the end though - to the point of wondering if I’d missed something - and any set that includes those damn fiddly stickers is always going to be at least alittleannoying.

Lego C-3PO holding up his arm against a brick wall

Part of the reason the build comes together so well at the end is because C-3PO cuts a damn impressive figure, and the end result looks really good. Visual detail is a priority here, and while the face is a little off the mark, every other nuance is superbly represented, from the uneven sandy dirt of Tatooine to that aforementioned crotch-first gait that 3PO had in the movies when shuffling around.

What you’re left with is a statue model that’s clear and impressive from close-up or across the room, with enough rounded casing pieces to smooth down the appearance into something magnificently accurate.

What’s lost is much in the way of articulation and control. C-3PO can swivel his head, has some limited finger movements, and lift his arms a bit, though not much. If you want to move his legs, or turn his torso, to have him lean forward or backwards even a smidgen, that ain’t happening. I know in the movies he was about as physically flexible as a brick, but the Lego build is somehow even less compromising. The option to easily detach the torso to stick on a Wookie’s back would’ve been a cute idea - just saying.

Still, that visual flourish is undeniable, and if you’re happy with this model’s statusasa model, the lack of movement shouldn’t really be an issue

Considering there’s no other variant of C-3PO on the market, what else are fans of the character going to get? In all seriousness, thisisa good build - maybe a touch overpriced and fiddly at times, but I’ve seen Lego sets at twice the size of C-3PO and still lack the attention to visual detail that’s present here. If you make your peace with the fact that he’ll never do more than a gentle wave, this should serve every need you have.
