I'm about to pull the trigger but was going to wait for Michael Crawford's review.
I read minimal complaints even at the high cost of such small figure.
For those who have it, if you rate 3 stars, then I think will go for Yoda.
 
Mine should be here friday... $19.16 for shipping pretty much ate up the $20 coupon I used on him :lol

Oh well, the $8.99 in RP helps ease the sting a bit.
 
Mine better come with a DC (discount code), need it w RPs to get Ripley for under $140 shipped.
 
Got Yoda in & even though I own the SS prequel version this HT version gave me nostalgia all the way back to opening the Empire Strikes Back 3.75" inch Yoda back in the 80's. It's a very cool little figure. & there is a discount code on the box.

What's the expiration date on the code?
 
So I received my Yoda today. Just finished having a chance to open him up and futz with him a bit. He's a pretty cool figure. The dirt effect in the crevices of his head are barely noticeable in hand. Hair is able to be futzed a little bit by just sort of puling bits of it upward, getting a few strands to stick out wildly. For a small figure though, he was a little bit of a pain for me. Had trouble getting the plastic off the arms, had to really push down to get the closed eyes sculpt on and had a bit of trouble getting his cane to stay held in his hand. Noticed mine is a little bit wobbly at the waist (something I've noticed on a few of my figures lately actually), but doesn't hinder the figure from doing anything it's supposed to do. The closed eyes sculpt in my opinion definitely bears a better likeness.

I also tucked his flute necklace underneath his belt, as according to this screen shot (the only one I could find that visibly shows it), it appears to be tucked underneath the belt:

:lecture

Yeah, he takes some fiddling but it's worth it. I spent a while last night trying to get him in a natural stance holding his cane without the right hand looking like he was doing a force-push.

Has anyone tried lighting him in a similar way to the movie? I'm curious to see if that helps the likeness.
 
Opening mine now.

Never tried to do both RP and Codes, thought you could, anyway they should let us, especially when they gouge on shipping, plus I did get a $20 Code with my Yoda which expires 6/15, why is it still only $20 when the average prices of these figures keep going up?
