We are happy with it so much we are buying two. To each there own.

My only major beef with this figure is the timing of the preorder. At this point, the next SW preorder I want to see had better be one of two figures: General Grievous or Ultimate Vader (retweaked). These have been dangled in front of us for quite awhile, and my patience is starting to wear thin. General Yoda is a nice figure, great idea, love all the goodies, will be happy to have him - but level of anticipation for this figure was not at the level that it has been for those other two. I was not thinking "OMG, will SSC just hurry up and put the preorder up for Master Yoda, already? What is the holdup??" So, as it was, the announcement felt anticlimactic. I feel most SSC Star Wars announcements will feel that way (unless we are talking something that people have been clamoring about for years, like the droids, Chewbacca, or even the biker scout, Dooku, or Tarkin) until they make the preorder for at least one of these figures a reality. Ultimate Vader and Grievous feel like grail figures for me, one representing the OT era, the other from the PT/Clone Wars era. They are a big deal, and SSC has publicly announced their development. Once we get at least one of them moving ahead in a tangible sort of way, then I can be excited for Master Yoda. Heck bring on more Jedi like Luminara Unduli, Plo Koon, Shaak Ti. Bring on the rest of the ESB bounty hunters. Bring on more clones and more battle droids. But let's get at least one of the big boys out of the way first.

My only major beef...

I actually agree with this. SSC has been talking about and showing teasers for some of these figures for too long now. I mean, I've been into SSC since '08 and have been buying their products with great anticipation, but last year I only bought two SSC 1/6 figures. That's the lowest my SSC purchasing has ever been and it's because they're not releasing the figures that I could get more excited about.

Now last year, Fett was the biggest piece SSC released. This year, so far we have PT Yoda, TPM Kenobi, and the Snowtrooper. None of them are really getting me interested. I feel like if I don't see some kind of brand new big name (alternate versions of characters I already have don't count) like Dooku, Greivous, or Chewie, then I might just move on from SSC. Why pay attention when there's nothing to see?

Sculpt looks like a turd, just say'n. Looks nothing like ROTS Yoda.

Yeah I plan on swapping out the head anyway. I got the EP 2 yoda GG mini bust so I could mold and cast the head. Looks much better than the SS stock heads.

 

[Niltusk]

Someone needs to cast a great fighting Yoda head for this.

 

[jedijim3002]

I'm on it Nil.

I much prefer this sculpt to Gentle Giant's. PT Yoda was a bit too baby friendly for my taste.

Really? I think just the opposite. The GG bust sculpt is spot in in my opinion and he has a bit of a concentrating look without looking too angry or evil.

My first attempt at casting the head. Just need to work on getting the air bubbles out.

 

[Niltusk]

Looks awesome Jim, too bad those ears took such a beating.

 

[VintijDroidGutzz]

Yeah, that is an excellent head sculpt Jim, for sure!

Looking forward to your progress mate.

 

[jedijim3002]

Thanks guys. Seems like my work is taking a short lull and I have a bit of time to get to the projects I've been wanting to finish. My Luke wigs should be ready sometime tomorrow and I'm looking forward to starting this project with full force.

 

[devilof76]

Yeah, it looks a lot like PT Yoda. How did you miss that that was my problem with it?

 

[jedijim3002]

I know I didn't miss the sarcasm.

 

[devilof76]

Apparently I missed it.

 

[jedijim3002]

I miss yoda. Wait. What?

 

[devilof76]

Here. We'll do it in steps.

1) I don't like PT Yoda.
2) GG bust looks like PT Yoda.
3) SS portrait does not look like PT Yoda.
4) I like SS Yoda. A lot.

I hope that clears everything up.

<<<<< Looks exactly like PT Yoda.
