Help Identifying this 3pO Head
I've recently acquired a full C3-PO fiberglass kit and am looking to repair it to get it back to display worthy. It seems to have passed through several owners and finally made its way back to me, but I can't trace where its from. It's fiberglass and made pretty sturdy, but from all the owners and uses, it has seen better days.
I will be upgrading some of the pieces on it and am still considering either chroming it or trying my hand at painting it. Again, with so many projects, I do not plan to invest too much money on it as the total I spent on it was less than purchasing one chest piece for C3-pO. Any help in identifying it will help though and I'll be posting pics of the head first and then the rest later if small "tells" on the other pieces may help figure out what it is.

Re: Help Identifying this 3pO Head
Looks like a recast from a head from a full-size Sideshow Collectible C-3PO.
1) The eyes on this one is bigger than the Screen-used C-3PO.
2) And the details around the 'horse shoe' looks like the Sideshow version as well (The horse shoe is the area around the head making up the outer frontal profile of the Threepio helmet, where you find the rectangular indents/ details).
On the sideshow version, these indents are more rounded that rectangular (as you can see from the reference pictures below).
However, there are some details lost on the neck bolts. The same can be said about the area around the mouth.
