Iron Studios 1/4 Yoda (ESB)

[matturibe1]

Do you know of any company that does fully solid casts? I don't.

You serious? Well, weta for one. I have all the district 9 statues and guns, I have all the king kong statues as well and those are completely solid. Why do pple make excuses for ss, they suck well now they suck, but back then they were great. Almost every statue I own is polystone and not plastic or hallow. So, Idk where you get your statues at. But justify spending 7 bills for a hallow statue is insane to me. I have a ss statues that are fully solid endo legendary IS Vader, Predator maquette first ss one. I can go on if you want. But I don't buy hallow pieces like some do but I am not knocking anyone that does. If a statue has a cheap feel to it I will send it back. But no disrespect to those that buy them to each their own. I just can not justify doing it. Anyways I do like the base on this IS yoda the base is sick but the price is also sick but more like sickening, lol later!

I really do like the base. And if I wasn't getting the Legendary scale, I may have considered getting this. As imo the base tells a story of the history of the character himself. And as a collector of Prime 1 pieces etc, I can appreciate larger than necessary bases, and honestly I'm okay with the price.

Exactly. Love the story the piece tells.

Yoda himself is small though after looking at it scaled with the Sideshow staff image.

But your looking at him and the environment base as a whole.

I hope you people know the head is going to be Pvc and hallow on the ss legendary Yoda. It weighs 15 pounds that is a dead give away right their! I am not saying the IS Yoda is better and their price is high as well as well as the paint app. However, I would take this over anything that comes out plastic or hallow. Then some say, do companies still make solid pieces. Are you kidding me. Almost every statue I own is solid and has weight to it. People justifying that is crazy, then backing hallow pieces is even more crazy. If it was like 100 bucks okay. I will back it too, but 700 your smoking crack! Just like yesterday I was walking on the beach here in Huntington Beach and a lady in the bathroom was yelling obscenities saying these pple shot me up with something call 911. So, I did. Then she goes off on how they are trying to rape her. While she is in the bathroom locked in by herself. I called 911 and the dispatcher already had a few phone calls. Whatever she was smoking was tripping her out. Anyways, I just don't see how anyone can drop 7 bills on something like that. Ss should be ashamed.

I think you're misunderstanding something about the hollow/solid discussion.

There are a lot of pieces which are 'partially' hollow in some places in a statue, but such statues can still weigh a tonne. And the only reason that any of us know that these statues previously thought as solid, are in fact partially hollow in certain locations is due to breakages in transit or being asked to smash a product for a full replacement. I know this has been show across Sideshow, Prime 1 and Iron Studios and probably many other manufacturers. I have no idea about Weta or any other manufacturer, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was the same for their larger scale pieces.

However I do agree, that I personally dislike when too much of a particular medium is used to lighten a statue up. Like manufacturers are now producing vinyl figures with Polystone bases. Could Sideshows Legendary scale Yoda be proven to be such a piece. Maybe. Given that the Sideshow page current says it's made out of 'resin'. Of which like many know is a catch all phrase to include many different types of 'resins', be it various forms of 'plastic', translucent resins, and Polystone which itself is a type of resin with a rocky sand medium added to the mix.

No I hear ya completely. Their are partially hallow pieces but I am talking about plastic hallow pieces like man of steel or Yoda full size ss statue with the hallow head. I bet you anything this is hallow! No doubt in my mind. 15 pounds can only mean one thing that is it like that predator wolf bust. Anyways, not talking about partial hallow pieces. But one guy was debating that statues are not full and I disagree I own quite a few solid pieces. Anyways, no worries! But I don't buy any thing ss with out it coming out first, that is how bad they have gotten to me!

Yeah I've got Sideshows BB-8 and R2-D2, and I try not to think about how I felt when I picked them up.

As long as Yoda is comparatively heavier for its relative size, I'll 'eventually' accept it in my collection. And hey it's more realistic, given that it's based off of a puppet

Lol, that is the only hallow piece I have is r2d2 I forgot about that. I was furious with it, but kept it, idk why either. I hated all the new Disney Star Wars so those are no brainer's for me to pass on all Disney star wars pieces cuz I hated the movies. I think that is why I won't accept it anymore. Seeing a plastic r2 for 4 bills. I have a hasbro half scale that looks better and cost me nothing because my brother didn't want it. It is amazing how stuff gets sent to pple that is so bad. I know this Yoda is hallow. But if pple are happy then that is cool. But the problem is to me is that when pple accept it they keep doing it and that is exactly what is happening. I haven't bought a ss statue in a long time due to that reason. But anyways, I love Yoda but have a full size yoda and was cheap and great piece.

Sorry I didn't know you were a Grammar Teacher, did you just comment to be an ********? First, mind your own business, no idea why pple come here to butt their two sense in to something that has nothing to do with what we are talking about. I didn't know I was turning in a paper PROFESSOR. This is what's wrong with humanity pple acting this way for no reason at all. Just to either get a rise or be an ********. Wasn't even talking to you for F@@K Sake!

hallow hallow hallow hallow hows that for being an ******** I can also play this game, no respect these days I swear!

I've since learned never to critique someone's English spelling or grammar, no matter how much I may want to. Especially in today's age.

In that there's no way in telling what someone's background and/or location is, because we're all behind computers etc, and that itself causes issues with the damn autocorrect being a pain from time to time. Given that many don't (and should've really 'need' to) proof read before posting, as this stuff isn't exactly thesis level material here.

That comment was toward the ******** who decided to put his two sense into this and make some stupid comment. Like, I said I never understood why pple act like such ass holes sometimes. But that comment was not directed toward you. I think you know that but just reassuring you. Just bothers me so that pple do that to others, as this is just a forum. Like youtube, pple do the same thing like it matters or something. Anyways, dude have a good night!

Anyhow.. I totally missed the start on this piece. I have been looking for the right Yoda to add to my collection. Picked this up, really digging all the switchouts. The water effect with the X-wing showing is awesome too! Couldn't pass this up, with using 100$ in SS rewards makes it not so bad!

Iron Studios and XM studios are really putting SS to shame. The attention to detail and extra effort they put into the statues really show.
I do love the detail in the piece, that base is outstanding.....
Congrats to everyone that orders this, enjoy!

Not sure what other pieces besides Vader Iron Studios made so far, but do they contain fabric? Vader only has the capes made of textiles, everything else is solid, made of polystone.
