Yep, this is why I fear Hot Toys rubber. Its why I can't bring myself to PO Mandalorian Ahsoka. That seamless rubber body worries me.
I really have to disagree, but to each their own.I'm surprised by people recommending the Sideshow one as looking better, I have both and the Hot Toys one is far superior. It has sharper details, better paint, and the likeness is just overall better, if you see them in person it's no contest. Initially I wasn't sure about getting the Hot Toys one due to the seams around the ears, but I'm OK with it with how much better everything else is. Especially since I always felt like the pose on the Sideshow version was a bit awkward with him looking up, his neck looks very strange in that pose like a frog trying to croak.
The issue with the chin tearing sucks though, mine's OK at the moment and I had already intended to pose him with the mouth open before I read about the issue, but it makes me wonder if he might break down in the future even with me keeping his mouth posed open.

I'm not as concerned for figures like Gamora since the arm can be left in a museum pose. It's not as exciting to have everyone with their arms straight, but it keeps them safe.We’ll all I can say is I’ve had the original Gamora for more than five years, zero issues. I suppose things could change in another 20 years, but so far, so good.
Still would not buy HT Child, but I have no concerns with Ahsoka.
I have both Sideshow and Hot Toys. They are both good in their own right, but the size of the hands and feet in the Hot Toys version are terrible.I really have to disagree, but to each their own.
The face looks off on Hot Toys
The hands are too big
The feet are too big
The proportions of the robe & body look weird
Ear seams
I'd go as far as to say the Sideshow one is objectively the better likeness considering Legacy Effects, the studio that made the actual Grogu, did all of this:

Good advice for parenting and real babies as well.Even if I liked this thing I would never be able to enjoy having him at this point. Every time I looked at him the first thought to cross my mind would be "don't tear you little bastard"!
This. I cancelled my PO because I personally would not be able to enjoy the figure.Even if I liked this thing I would never be able to enjoy having him at this point. Every time I looked at him the first thought to cross my mind would be "don't tear you little bastard"!
Was it ever updated to show the jaw feature? Cause it didn’t exist when it initially went up for preorder.As much as I like hot toys one I settled for sideshow, I wished they'd just do a non articled jaw like using the proto.
Anyone else notice sideshow have removed all mention and pictures of the jaw feature? They must of had a fair few issues!
Yeah, the Hot Toys is so much more accurate than the Sideshow one... that was actually sculptured and supervised by the very same people that make the original puppet.I'm surprised by people recommending the Sideshow one as looking better, I have both and the Hot Toys one is far superior.
