Pretty pricey for what you get.

An exploding window with a tiny Yoda getting out.

I like seeing a Yoda PF, but this time around I'd be satisfied with the regular version. Not impressed with the Exclusive lightsaber. It looks like it's dripping paint or something, lol

Looks great, love the samurai style top knot.

Man-bun? Nope, looks silly on Yoda as well as on people today.

It’s called a chonmage, clearly a samurai influence as is his robe looking more like a kimono. I like it a lot.

I know what it is, and I find it to look silly on the statue as well as on people today

It's like they're baking in the cost of future discounts into their current pricing.

This is exactly what a predominantly Transformers online retailer does (TFSource). They up the "msrp" way more than any other store and when they put items "on sale," they're usually at the real MSRP but sometimes still higher than if you were to buy elsewhere.

Yes, I get it, you don’t like it. Luckily you have the standard version sans “man-bun”.

I'm not a fan of the man bun but I do see what they are going for here and I think it works. He is a jedi master like a samurai. I dig it in this instance.

I really like this PF, however, I also like the Legendary scale figure too.

So... which one to get between the two? The 1/4 PF or Legendary scale Yoda?

I'd say Legendary Scale, less busy.

I'm leaning toward the LS piece.

I think the Mythos is 1/5 scale which has always been a bummer to me. I also prefer the legendary scale, although I've resisted both...so far.

I think you're right.

Maybe I'll buy the LS statue and ask for the Mythos statue for Christmas!

I'm leaning toward the LS piece.

Doing the same, the LS is looking like a winner and is something that'll be discounted sooner or later just like everything else Sideshow puts out.

Agreed, the dynamic pose is what makes it a winner IMO.

Is there a separate thread about the newer Sideshow LS Yoda? search, failing me is...

A few threads down.

[slynger]

looks great. Still think the price is a bit much.

 

[SOU7567]

It is a solid looking piece...but Yoda is a small portion of it, you're buying just a huge diorama base for $600.

Besides Vader, the last few Mythos pieces have found their way to the 15-20% off bin.
