I don't really like this bust and it's also very expensive,with that much you can easily buy a lifesize yoda.
Which life-sized Yoda can you get for the price of that bust?

I had also a rubies yoda like goqhthejedi's and I bought that 500 usd and then I sold it 600 usd,when you search on web you can easy find much more.

So if you had the chance to get the Rubies Yoda or the Sideshow Yoda bust for the exact same (fairly low) price, which would you get?

Wow Vader AL you are a necroposter and a thread killer all wrapped into one aren't you. Ironically I just received one today so I'll give you some advice.
Well to answer your question you'll have to answer some questions:
1) Have you found one at a good price? Even with this question a "good price" is relative. For me about the price of a SW PF was fair. If you pay more than that you will probably feel a little cheated and some will feel cheated at that price so read on.
2) Do you want "the best" 1:1 yoda and have the money for it? Most will say the Gentle Giant one is the best and I agree(depends on which style Yoda you want though). While I agree it's the best I don't want to drop 1k on it so I chose this one over the SS Yoda bust because I wanted a full bodied yoda but I will pick that one up one day too. Of the three this one is the lowest quality.
3) Did you refuse to buy the SS Boba Fett PF because it was hollow? If you answered "yes" then this one isn't for you because it is hollow and light for the size.
4) Do you stare at your collectibles and look for paint flaws? If yes then this one isn't for you because there are parts where the paint bleeds over a little if you look at them up close.
5) Do you want an accurate sized yoda? if so then this one has that going for it. The GG one is too tall but I'd still take the GG yoda in a heartbeat if I could find one for $500 or so but this one is accurate so that is a plus.
I will say, for me, I am really happy with this piece because I like the sculpt(although the feet are weak) and the overall paint-app and well, it's a 1:1 yoda. I plan on pulling his hair out because when you look closely at his head it looks like he has hair-plugs and will re-apply the hair so it looks correct. I also want to cut the lightsaber out of his hand and insert a MR lightsaber. I'll have to destroy the one in his hand but it won't feel complete to me without having the MR one in his hand. This yoda combines the older yoda with a lightsaber and that will turn some off because they either like the old yoda or the one in EP 2 when he battles Dooku and not a mixture of the 2.
Here's some pics, hope I helped.

I actually paid less than that so I'm happy. I received my SS 1:1 Emperor bust on Monday and this today so it's been a good 1:1 week for me.

Hmm I was checking out ebay for the Rubies Yoda and found this;

Seems there is a second Pepsi version.

Ewwww... and Episode I version
I recently got the Sideshow bust and really like it a lot... face is a bit full and the eyes could have more life, but for the price I'm very pleased.
Have to say the Rubies looks very lifelike though... maybe a bit too old looking for a PT Yoda, but still very nice.

Yoda is the only 1:1 bust I own and I'm real pleased with him. Definitely a cool addition to the collection.
Supposedly Diamond plans to release a full 1:1 Yoda figure. I'll be interested in seeing 1) if that actually happens and 2) what kind of quality we'll see.

Hi guys,
Just wanted to show off my Yoda. It's not made by Sideshow, but the parts were created by a talented artist in England. I ended up painting the head/limbs, punching in the hair, weathering the robe, etc.
He's still a work in progress, but I thought I just show him off in this thread. Real proud of him:
Here's me and Yoda with another lifesize member of my Star Wars family:
