1/6 Hot Toys - MMS - Star Wars: Episode V ESB - Yoda Collectible Figure

When 900 years old you reach, smell as good you will not

It's not Yoda that smells bad.

It's the ferrets that won't leave him alone

I guess it's the smell of rotting mentor that attracts them!!

Looks great, I was thinking of applying wisps to the TOP of the head with Q-Tip and some glue but don't want residue on the sculpt, did you just manipulate the existing hair?

BTW, will post a pic or 2 when I get my guy futzed and posed.

I found the Q-tip actually frizzes the hair the instant you touch it... Just touch the Q-tip to the hair and pull it very gently outwards and it stays there...
Don't ask me why, but it just worked perfectly without glue or anything else...

GREAT work, monkeyjedi!

Thanks, man!!

Three water baths and a Q-tip (cotton bud) to make the hair a little more wispy... Done!!

Good idea monkeyJedi
Looks great!!

Very nice! Now I wanna buy Yoda. Need to know how to do the Q-tip mod.

 

[monkeyjedi]

THE Q-TIP METHOD FOR ADDED 'WISPINESS'

Take a dry Q-Tip (cotton bud) and VERY GENTLY dab the surface hairs on your little green weirdo...
This seems to create a static(?) attraction between the hair and the bud and you will immediately see the hair starts to frizz and come away from the scalp...
This attraction is quite strong and can pull the hair off altogether so be very gentle...

That's it... Nothin' else to it... May the Force be with You!!

That's awesome ! Sure you're not using some sort of Jedi trick there Monkey ? Seems too easy.

Mine comes in a couple of weeks so I'll be interested to see if I can get it to work on mine with my feeble Jedi powers.

How many Midi-chlorians do you have again ??

Wow, the hair on yours looks fantastic! Great work.

Thanks for the "tips" MJ! Looks so much more authentic.

I can't stop watching this video.

Me too. It's hilarious. Love the way the black ferret runs away and hides.

 

[Mandible]

I can't stop watching this video.

Ditto! That is priceless!

Each of the ferrets have a distinct personality; I love the white one attacking him at the end after being pushed over!!!

I go to UPS My Choice to release signature authorization with all my Sideshow purchases. Not sure why they won't allow you to do the same. Have you tried recently? Maybe their policies have changed.

Not really....I think the last time I tried was when the TIE Pilot came out. I spent over an hour yesterday on UPS's site after I signed in and put in the tracking # trying to find where I can authorize the signature release. But to no avail. I just remember it not showing up on the page in the past (and now) like with other companies because of their policy not allowing you to do so. So I have no idea how you're able to do it but not me. I'll try to get a hold of someone at UPS/Sideshow Monday to see if I can get it done.

I authorize no signature for every figure through the app, never had an issue.

Yeah, I've always done it on my PC. Now unless it's a silly matter of it working on your phone but not your desk top.

 

[chalor]

I just remember long ago when I last authorized a signature release, I could click on it on the same page where my tracking number was on. I just can't find it at all with this order. Just the "signature required" box. Maybe they have changed their policy and I am just having a "special" moment.

Can someone please help me to figure out where I exactly need to go on UPS to authorize the release. It might be an issue with my computer, so I would just download the app if I have the memory for it..but alas I do not. Or if USP customer service is available over the weekend and they can do it for me. But I'm sure they will tell me the same thing they told me the other times with SS - "the company won't allow you to do that". Then I'm gonna be like - Well how is it they allow other customers to do it?!

i assume you're signed up for UPS My Choice?

[FlyAndFight]

Great job, MonkeyJedi! Will definitely be trying this as well.

We're all able to do it on our PC, Macs, or phones without issue, so it sounds like there might be an issue on your end.

If your information matches exactly how Sideshow has it (name, address), MyChoice should add new items automatically without you needing to add any tracking numbers. Is all your account info in MyChoice correct? It really makes a huge difference having it work. You can also redirect packages to UPS stores if you're worried about them being left on your doorstep.

 

[TonTon]

If you haven't signed up for MyChoice yet, you probably can't do any of this stuff if the actual item has shipped already. Pretty sure you need to be signed up before the item ships.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Good god is this UPS thing still going on? chalor, just call UPS and have them walk you through it.

 

[Subdomain]

I had the same problem with mychoice it would just send me around in circles.
Call sideshow and they can have it held at a ups center I just did that for mine. They wouldn't hold it at an access point I have no idea why but it's still better than missing delivery.
