SS ROTS Yoda Jedi Master Figure

[FLOSI]

W/o holding them it's hard to say... a issue I have with the ESB is the body is quite loose. I can get him in a sweet spot w/o a stand (since he's in the hut display) but I find him toppled over every couple of months and getting him back up again is a pain

But the paint on the ESB figure is solid and he comes with a nice assortment of accessories. From the video the paint work on this new one looks about the same, if not maybe a smidge better and he comes with even more stuff although personally I don't plan on using either of the chairs for him Once I get in the new one I'll be happy to give you a full report if it would help with the decision.

Have you ever stripped down the ESB head? The paint is like a mm thick. I had ended up losing some of the sculpt detail around the eyes. It was my Santa Yoda head so it's only out for a month or so every year but it still pissed me off.

i don't know if its coincidence or intentional, but i've noticed recently that it seems sideshow has started to begin sponsoring these youtube reviewers with huge subs. even though they never reviewed (or even collect) any sideshow or hot toys pieces before, sideshow seems to now be providing them or paying them to review their pieces now. just like sean, theres another reviewer that goes by "optibotimus" on youtube and he has like over 60,000 subs as well. all he's ever really reviewed or collected were transformers pieces and mainly lil action figures you get at toys r us or walmart. then out of the blue his next 3 are high end hot toys figures and then hes rocking the ssc link as his sponsor. i don't really care that these guys are gettin' paid but there are essentially 2 problems i have with this new method by sideshow. 1)they get these guys who never review their product nor collect it before and ask them to review something they have no idea about 2)it obviously makes their opinions extremely biased.

Prolly because it exposes SS product to an audience that perhaps wouldn't be aware of it otherwise. I don't see any problem with it.

I'd really appreciate this mate!

Looks decent enough to keep. Lots of extras. Where else are you gonna get an EPIII Yoda fig?

 

[Darth Snoopy]

Hard to say from one in-hand review... honestly overall the quality looks comparable to the original Yoda release, if not maybe a bit better. The lightsaber looks like it was half-assed on this one, but the rest is really not that bad.

Having said that, I think it's still possible to get the ESB version for around retail and being more of an OT guy I'd go with that one over this release.

I PO'd this day one and honestly it still looks good enough to own. Also, I used t he $25 off Valentine's Day code so I'm getting the exclusive for around $85 shipped; which helps take a bit of the sting out of it

Agreed. No reason to "chicken little" this figure until we see more than one in-hand review, IMO.

Chicken Little and Star Wars figures go hand in hand. Actually, Chicken Little and all figures go hand in hand.

Chicken little loves this place.

Galactiboy's comments are dead on. I think the biggest improvement in this one is the paint, which isn't nearly as bright a green as the ESB figure. I can't wait.

...and all it took, was one crappy video.

 

[Billy Ray]

Didn't PO this one and from the looks of things so far I'm glad. I have the OT Yoda and this one doesn't look any better to me, other than having a ton of accessories. I do prefer the non-grimacing sculpt though, and it looks like it might be a slight improvement over the OT one.

 

[SixthScaleEdward]

If only it did look like this.

 

[cbomb23]

I've yet to put in the order, but god knows I'll need a Yoda. I'll probably wait for a coupon to do it though.

I've neve stripped any if the Sideshow heads, just painted over them. I'm not surprised though, that **** seems industrial strenght.

Normally it helps reveal all kinds of detail that would be otherwise buried under paint.
