Sorry to see that you were unhappy with your Yoda, Mr. Zero. Got mine the other day and I love it. Maybe you're just miffed about the wonky eye on yours (which is totally not cool and should be replaced no problem), but I think it's unfair and inaccurate to say that Yoda feels and looks cheap in person.
The head and body are made of a very firm, but slightly flexible (rubber?) material that feels and looks great IMHO, and better than if they went with polystone because it gives off a more natural, organic look that polystone wouldn't be able to achieve. Sure Yoda is lighter than the base, but he definitely has some weight to him, and with the figure on the base, the thing's very heavy. Would've loved glass eyes on him, but the eyes they went with look really good, with a nice, even glossiness to it. You'd have to be a couple inches from your face to tell that they're decals.
I was worried by some of the pics that I wouldn't be happy with the paint on Yoda, but for a factory paint job it's pretty good, with some subtle blending of different shades. I think the base is painted pretty well with a few different shades of browns and greens. Sure the base paint is muted, but I think it accurately represents the murky, muddy atmosphere of Dagobah. The hair is also laid very nicely. As for the clothing, the material is really great and Sideshow did an excellent job on weathering and aging the robe.
Overall, I'm really, really happy with it. Sure, if someone tackles a repaint and puts some glass eyes in there, it could look even better. But I don't think it is at all necessary, because as it is, it is a really excellent piece to add to your collection.
