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

[jedijim3002]

Other than a ghost yoda I don’t see how else they can compete with HT. They will have to come up with some serious accessories to make it worth while for anyone who owns the first SS version and/or the HT.

Anybody have the ESB figure considering getting the new AtoC one? I don't have a Yoda yet and am trying to decide between getting this one or getting the AtoC version.

ESB version is classic with a good diorama but this new one has the dynamic stand and his light saber..... what were your thoughts for going the way you did? (xpost on AtoC thread as well)

Yes. I have the SS version and this version and the SS AOTC version and already have the AOTC HT version on preorder. Need them all.

Another +200$ Yoda... when we need aliens (Jabba court, cantina, Jedha, cloud-riders, ...) & troops (too long to list !)
Sideshow Collectibles is really an asylum...

 

[parrasmaniac]

It is unbelievable!

Another Yoda! It seems it is going to be an ESB Yoda, so maybe it is an update on the Jedi Mentor Yoda.

OT > PT. And ESB is my favorite SW film. Simple as that for me.

However, I do think the prototype of AotC Yoda looks more accurate to PT Yoda than what the ESB Yoda is to OT Yoda.

Sideshow Collectibles has one foot nailed to the floor and can't do anything but go in circles...
I expect from them a new Fett, a new Tie fighter pilot, a new Luke Jedi, ... very soon...

haha yeah totally ! Maybe a new Han or Leia too, just to go crazy and do something totally different !

We are at a point with Sideshow 1/6 releases where you have to think very hard to remember if this is a first ever release or a redo.

I'm actually liking the look of this a lot more than the HT version. It reminds me much more of the puppet somehow.

Afraid to think of what the price might be though.

I'm afraid of how the production piece will look.

It looks like Gary Coleman dressed as Yoda...

PERS or bust for this new SS Yoda, its better then their old one but from the one pic falls short of both HT iterations imo

 

[jedijim3002]

Not bad actually. But that’s what I usually say when I see the proto photos.

 

[Tee-Kay]

Sideshow 1/6 offering is all about 2.0 now. Depressing. Beside the eventual Concept inspired figure (Obi-Wan, Fett...), it seems like they are only interested in revisiting what they already did in the last decade. I guess that's cool for people that missed out the first time around but there are so many iconic OT characters that could add depth to our displays (Ponda Baba, Bespin Guards, Nien Numb...).

 

[Hoody999]

No doubt it'll have loose floppy joints....

Posted these over in the SS thread by accident. Whoops.

 

[SilverStar17]

Nice pics!

 

[rayeknor]

Yep, dont need AOTC Yoda with that close eyed sculpt!

 

[SilverStar17]

The closed-eyed sculpt on this is definitely the better option and captures the essence of OT Yoda better.
