1/6th Scale TESB Yoda & Dagobah Hut Environment!

[Creighton]

I remember biting the bullet and complaining when I bought anh vader exclusive unopened for $120. I had never paid that much for any figure. Hearing that he sells for $300 is overwhelming!

My predictions for most valuable/increased figures are vader ex, stormtrooper ex, aayla secura, Luke Jedi exclusive, lando ex, and old Ben ex. In that order. I think yoda is a fad and will fizzle down. Sorry.

[FlyAndFight]

Ah get him already. He's worth it and its Yoda. You can get a regular for a bit less but thats about your only option other than waiting a while for ebay.

I know, I know... It's just that I've recently picked up quite a bit of other figures and the 1/6th funds are at their lowest. If Yoda can stick around for another month or so, I'll try to pick him up then.


"Judge me by my size, do you? Hmmmm? Hmm?"

:rotfl



Anyone who's on the fence should grab one now IMO. My buddy ordered a dozen for his LCS. They arrived end of last week and are almost gone. He stocks almost every SW 1/6 and that never happens. He's trying to get more from his SS rep but she couldn't guarantee anything.
You never know what will happen on the after market but I would play it safe on this one. I think a lot of people hibernate through the Clones and then turn up for the tried and true favorites.
Sideshow says Backordered, BBTS is pre-Sold Out. I don't think he'll go for Vader money but in a couple of months $80 shipped might look like a deal.

You make a good point. Yoda is definitely a major character and those collectors passing on the 2nd and 3rd tier figs will most probably snag the little green guy up.

[The Josh]

I feel for ya brother. The ole collecting budget is tight fo sho.

I had the exclusive yoda on waitlist, but I got an email saying they won't be able to fulfill. So I haven't decided what I'm going to do. I always get the exclusive versions, and I'm bummed I missed out on this one.

I'm in the same boat. I have a hard time justifying paying $80+ (w/shipping) for such a tiny figure. But it's freakin' Yoda!... :panic:

Don't forget that you aren't just getting Yoda but also the log. That's a 12" scale environment pretty much thrown in for free. Yoda comes with everything included to make a nice little display.

[SwedishHeat]

Viking Playground has Yoda for about $73 shipped. I ordered it Friday night, and it arrived Monday morning. Quite frankly, that was amazing as I live on the other side of the country.

Here's my contribution to the pics. I tried to get the green as accurate as I could, and I think it's pretty darn close. It's probably a little bit richer of a color, as you can really tell by the brown robe, that it's a bit washed out.

http://img138.imageshack.us/img138/9826/closepo.jpg

Here's my slightly wonky eye. Really it's not noticeable considering how small Yoda is.

Yes he is, and you're the first to notice.

Nice shots WG.

Thanks, man. Quick shots right out of the box but I wanted to get something up. I hope to contribute something a little more interesting once I have time to fully futz him.

Nice shots Greg! :rock In the natural lighting the coloration looks much more accurate.

His color is better in hand, the pictures tend to look more saturated. SS also dirted him up a bit which is nice. That said though, he is still too dark to be honest.

Disappointing looking figure.

Hey hey, look who's back. :wave

Nice pic, King and great idea for that base.


Question to all: is there a trick to tying the belt back on?

Parts of the string seem to be hardened with paint and won't allow me to tie a knot.

I also have 'cracks' in the pleather at the line where the pouches are glued, cracks that show white when parted. Anyone else have this issue? I may have to check with SS for a replacement belt.

The hands and feet come off nice and easy and I'm pleased with everything else so far but this belt is really driving me crazy right now.

[VASith]

Got this one last shot, kinda cool with the reflection, but it also shows the hunch posture from the side... maybe its helpful to those who want to try the 'hunch' pose.

[d_jedi1]

Great tip on the PetSmart log. I picked one up this afternoon.
I'm working on a little base to go along with it and I bought a mat of moss for the part thats going to be my ground and I'm pre-painting and using a two-part epoxy for the water.

[jedibear]

Be sure and post pics when you get it together, d-jedi1!

May go for one of those myself, until then, it's rocks &Paintings... :)

http://i1125.photobucket.com/albums/l597/jedibearvt/YODA-10.jpg

[FlyAndFight]

Are people really using the "log" to justify the price? :lol

I think the figure looks fine but I certainly don't think it's worth $80 bucks.

It's like a Hasbro 3 & 3/4 inch figure in size and articulation, with a swatch of fabrics. We should at the very least had gotten a second headsculpt, perhaps with eyes closed, as when he's concentrating on lifting the X-Wing from the swamp. I would have loved to have him displayed in that pose, one arm raised. Iconic for me.

Did it at least include a base? I guess the "log" fills in that function...

[jedijim3002]

This looks awesome. I wish I could afford one.

[marker2037]

He's not that expensive jimbo

[Wake]

I got mine for 52$... at Alterego.. i had 15 points.

Will do. Actually, it's drying and waiting for finishing touches.. I snapped a few pictures.

This is going to be the base of it
http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o176/d_jedi1/Yoda/P1110008.jpg
I cut two pieces of plexiglass 9.5" X 12", sanded and glued them together.
I decided how I wanted to place the "log" and marked it on the plexi. I painted the areas that will be water green.
After that, I cut some moss mat to fit and glued it down.
I used the glue liberally mixed with sand along the edges and leading out into the area for "water" and after that had set up a bit, I painted it dark brown.
This is essentially how it will look (I need to add my "water" to it)
Rear
http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o176/d_jedi1/Yoda/P1110016.jpg
Front
http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o176/d_jedi1/Yoda/P1110018.jpg
The "log" is not yet permanently fastened as I'm waiting for everything currently in use to dry first as well as adding the "water".
I apologise for the lack of Yoda.. he's shipping from UrbanSamurai and hasn't arrived just yet.
At least he has a Slimy Mudhole to call home once he arrives. :wink1:

edit: the lizard is from Sideshow's Franz Sanchez figure.

[astro666]

That's looking great d. Can't wait to see the final result. I think it's great that you are setting up a nice little slimy mudhole for Yoda to call "home" before he has even arrived at your door. It shows what a great host you are.

[BlueLeader]

[QUOTE=d_jedi1;3288112]Will do. Actually, it's drying and waiting for finishing touches.. I snapped a few pictures.

Your work looks great :clap. I would just offer one suggestion. At the waters edge I would cut the shape in a curved pattern to better simulate waves and water.

Still waiting on Yoda so I put my Bespin Luke on the log and popped the talking dashboard Yoda off of his base and put him in the shot.
(note: I'm not planning to use the Luke figure with this dio, just this shot.)

Water looks good. How did you do it?

Looks very cool D Jedi. The water effect looks great!

On a side note I had a spare Slim TT sitting around so I tried porting over Bespin Luke and it looks damn good. Now I'm tempted to get him repainted... :(

[d_jedi1]

Water looks good. How did you do it?

I used two of those injector looking tubes of two-part epoxy, the five minute kind. I poured a little brown paint into it and mixed it all up.
I poured and spread it quickly onto the base (which I had masking tape all around as a wall). Once that set up, I added accents with a couple of brown paints and coated the whole thing with "future" floor polish.

I should probably mention that the brown paint that I mixed into the epoxy was an enamel.. I don't know how well or even if other paints would mix.

The regular seems to generally be at or below retail on eBay... I'd guess that $45 is more of an anomaly than the norm.

[Creighton]

I'm seeing a great opportunity to make some cash here. I'm going to start a little plastic snake farm after I visit the science and educational toy store. "Orange snakes, blue snakes, green snakes....we have them all!"

[galactiboy]

The only things missing from Yoda are the galactic hot-dog and Lamp he stole from Luke. I can live with out the hot-dog, but I would like the Lamp.

It comes with the Medicom version, but don't think I'd get much for him (not that I'd get much anyway) if I snagged the lamp :lol

It would actually be a decent deal... the Ex is selling for $75 more than the regular release; so $45 for the snake wouldn't be the worst alternative.

[agentofchaos73]

I don't get the obsession with the orange snake, either. The one that comes with Yoda is plenty sufficient, in my opinion. If I felt like I needed a Yoda with an orange snake, I'd go find the original 3 3/4" figure.

[Darth Madden]

Its just because of the ego attached to the "exclusive" item. Had the orange snake been the standard one nobody would care about it.

[devilof76]

Isn't that because everybody would have it?

[Darth Madden]

Isn't that because everybody would have it?

Yes. I think most people don't care about the orange snake they want the exclusive item... which itsn't really that exclusive anyway. Maybe its just me but I never understood that total enfatuation with exclusive items that are not even that great.

[devilof76]

:horror

This exclusive is great.

[Creighton]

That snake is about as exciting as the gold sticker on the box, or a mini wanted poster for that matter. Where is the alternate closed eyes portrait or backpack? Ths seemed like a no brainer:(

[Wanderer]

SS have a history of releasing crappy exclusives. Like you say, an exclusive should be another head sculpt or Vader's decapitated head something like that. I won't lose sleep not owning a bright orange snake. The only ex I'm gutted I missed was PF General Grievous and his awesome cape. Still cry myself to sleep over that:monkey2:monkey2:monkey2

[devilof76]

An alternate head, like with the Emperor? I remember that going over well.

[CaptnRex]

The Ex Emp head should have been included with the Reg, it was a bare bones figure and two heads should have been standard.

Anyways, I wanted the orange snake but missed the Ex, I'll be happy to pick up the reg soon though.

Although SSC want $48 to ship Yoda to Aus but $25 to ship Hammerhead. WTF?:cuckoo:

[galactiboy]

That snake is about as exciting as the gold sticker on the box, or a mini wanted poster for that matter. Where is the alternate closed eyes portrait or backpack? Ths seemed like a no brainer:(

Just keep telling yourself that as you continue to live life with only a stinky brown and white snake :lol :1-1:

Although in reality I do agree that its not super amazing, but the nature of Sideshow exclusives are to be an item that is fun or cool for collectors, but not having it doesn't diminish the regular release in a significant way.

An orange snake is a great example in that it clearly is a nod to the more common snake found with the Kenner Yoda. So for some (like me) that is a very cool and desirable item, but for others they might not care either way.

[devilof76]

No Kenner love would equate to it being a boring exclusive, and I can understand that.

What I can't understand is 'no Kenner love'. Can't relate. Can't sympathize. Can't abide.

The only things missing from Yoda are the galactic hot-dog and Lamp he stole from Luke. I can live with out the hot-dog, but I would like the Lamp.

I always thought that was some kind of granola bar...

Its just because of the ego attached to the "exclusive" item. Had the orange snake been the standard one nobody would care about it.

An orange snake is a great example in that it clearly is a nod to the more common snake found with the Kenner Yoda. So for some (like me) that is a very cool and desirable item, but for others they might not care either way.

Yup.

I'll be honest, it's mostly because of the Kenner fig, but yeah, I like having the exclusive items. All my other Sideshow figures are exclusives, so it'd be weird not having this one.

That snake is about as exciting as the gold sticker on the box, or a mini wanted poster for that matter. Where is the alternate closed eyes portrait or backpack? Ths seemed like a no brainer:(

Yeah, they really dropped the ball on not including the closed eyes headsculpt. That would have been awesome.

[FlyAndFight]

I screwed up big-time. I should have ordered the exclusive Yoda and sold off the orange snake for $45. The rest of the Yoda set is definitely worth $45 bucks to me... :lecture :monkey2

[The Josh]

Yoda with the snake and all is truly worth the $80 imo.

[galactiboy]

Totally agree... Either Yoda is a good deal, just now the Ex is a steal judging by the eBay prices :rock

Especially for me since mine was free with RP :rock :rock :rock

[Creighton]

Please dont get me wrong. There's nothing wrong with a "nod" to the past. Overall, This is a great marketing concept that works well with lesser known characters like bib fortuna/Kenner staff exclusive and hammerhead/Kenner blaster. (even though it was not exclusive)

However, this late in the game with the overall line, and the anticipation for such an iconic character like yoda, the orange snake is almost insulting. In addition, somewhat uncreative and on the cheap side. Only serious collectors even appreciate or are aware of the orange/brown snake variation of the original Kenner figure. Ok so that's why we have exclusives! If I dont like, it don't buy it! Gotcha. All 750 of you exclusive owners can sit back knowing that you have the leg up on the rest of us, can sell it for 3 times the amount any day...whatever.

We all wanted this figure and SS was well aware of it's potential. Sadly
they fell a bit short IMO.

And that's where I think your opinion is in the minority... I and others seem to genuinely like and enjoy the exclusive. Not to mention the actual figure itself kicks all kinds of *** :rock

I would have bought it regardless of the increase in value;and generally SW exclusives do not do great on the secondary market.

Yeah, he's by far in the minority. They mentioned why they did the orange snake and its a nice nod. Not to mention honestly there wasn't a lot of choices for this Yoda. So they went with something that works for most fans. Sounds like sour grapes for not getting the Ex to me.

:exactly::exactly: I think it's one of the best and creative exclusives SS has done with a SW 12" figure. It's not something that is a make-or-break item for the figure, but instead it's a small gift to those of us who had the Kenner Yoda growing up.

[The Josh]

Thats what Ex should be and that goes for items at say Comic-Con items that if you get great and if not you don't feel horrible about missing.

[Creighton]

I was just expressing my opinion which is the great thing about this forum. I may be experiencing "sour grapes" indeed.

However, you are quite defensive over your "little snake." lol
Mmmmmmmm.....

I'd be interested in taking a poll to see who would choose the snake over say an alternate portrait, backpack, Luke/vader severed head, metal case with lukes food and lamp....

[galactiboy]

Well wouldn't you be?!? :lol

BTW, has anyone removed Yoda's head? Curious if it pops out easily, or if its not really intended to be removable which could explain why there is only one head. Mines head is a bit wobbly as it is so I don't want to risk breaking anything :lol

[OSCORP]

Don't say anything negative about SS or their Exclusive snake Creighton. I see the usual suspects are out in force.:lol:ccheerlea

I agree the ex is kinda lame. But it is cool for nostalgia reasons.

I would have liked two alternate portraits (one with eyes closed, the other with eyes crazied), a broken Vader mask with Luke's face underneath, a backpack, Luke's camping gear, the spacefood and the flashlight, and I would have gladly paid $135 for it.

Would you?

I wholeheartedly agree with you ^^.

http://www.sideshowcollectors.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6016

Here is one of my posts from this five-year-old thread:

That is why I think the average consumer could be informed through proper advertising. The product description could highlight all the extra detail and workmanship that had to go into the figure. Statements that emphasize the design of a new articulated body and other innovative features could relate to the price increase. This product description could be listed where ever the figure is sold.

I would have NO problem buying Yoda with another figure. But what makes me concerned about "2-packs" is that I don't know if there will have to be compromises made to either figure because of a 2-pack price threshold. I'm not sure if a $100 2-pack is reasonable. If Anakin costs $55 because of additional accessories, I'm sure Yoda with a new articulated body would cost quite a bit more. And I don't want Dagobah Luke being sacrificed in quality. I hope to see him with a proper outfit (tank top included) and high quality facial sculpt that resembles Mark Hamill during those scenes. So he would cost $50 minimum.

OK, here's an idea for an appealing Yoda sold by himself:

How about multiple facial sculpts? Even as a puppet, Yoda was a VERY expressive character! If they released a Dagobah ESB Yoda, how about three or four different heads?

1) One neutral head with his classic look in ESB while sitting on a log.

2) One head with a concentrated expression, with eyes closed, while he lifts the X-Wing out of the water.

3) One where he has those 'evil' looking eyes and says "You will be, you will be..." in a deep menacing voice?

4) One with a surprised look (along with bugged eyes), like when he gets zapped by R2! Remember that?? Man, the ESB Yoda puppet's personality and realistic body language is heads and tails above any CGI character they made in the prequels. :Sigh: Aw, the memories...:angelsmil

No, it doesn't boil down to that. :lol Stop making up strawman arguments.

Yoda's body is basically no different than the Toy Biz Gollum body from 10 years ago that sold for like $10.

I think most people realize that things cost money, the difference is that reasonable people think $50 is "something" and not "nothing".

It pretty apparent however that many collectors are not reasonable consumers. Rather, people willing to splurge on these no matter what else in the world is going on.

[Wor-Gar]

Part of my savings is because I'm in CA and get hit with taxes to boot. So if Yoda is $85 + 8 tax + 10 ship = 103... I got mine on sale for 60 so that's $43 saved. BUT I also got a few other things so the shipping got amortized.

[devilof76]

If I were more responsible, I would empathize.

Still, I think expecting no one to buy when the price gets high is unrealistic.

[DPrime]

Well, I don't know. I'm not going to complain about the cost in and of itself, but maybe the log could have been substituted for one or two alternate face sculpts?

I mean, it's a cool little mini-environment and the figure does look good with it - but in all fairness, any of us could have gotten a piece of driftwood or something if we really felt the need to have him sit on a log.

Meh, not really important I suppose. Maybe I can get a recast or repainted head down the road or something, with the eyes closed.

Oh, and it looks like I've got an ORANGE SNAKE coming! Elite status maintained! :)

I would still like to get a box, at some point, but I can wait. Maybe someone who is running out of room and is just going to throw it out anyway will just give it to me - hey, it happened with my Old Ben! (My first Sideshow figure, btw.)

[Creighton]

I splruge. However, does anyone feel a little ripped off by the markup of this figure? Honestly, I appreciate higher end collectables hence I'm here. In all fairness, "Sideshows high end collectable yoda figure is not the best example of value and collector quality in this instance. I agree that the body is somewhat similar to a toy biz gollum. Ok,....but twisty ties and tape? one tray? lackluster repeated photo on the back of the box, wonky eye paint, dollar store plastic snake...production wise this figure is LAZY.

Stand corrected, We are not cheap, nor do we want something for nothing. It's the point. We are loyal and longtime collectors. We want value, and moreso, we want quality and consistency in the line. If you jack the prices up, please back it up with a little more care in quality.

I'm going to lay this off on gasoline prices so I dont get flamed in this forum. Wheeew! Everything is so expensive now! :)
however, If sideshow keeps
their current trajectory of presentation, mediocre quality vs inflated prices, sadly I'm out.

[The Josh]

I guess I don't feel like I got cheapened with Yoda. Would I like more to him? Sure that would be great but I feel I got my monies worth. Nor do I feel that way with anything really I've gotten from Sideshow.

Also no different than the Toy Biz gollum? Really? Have you even seen any of the toy biz gollum figures? :lol


I have to agree... the "mass market" company can sell figures for less money doesn't really work in that the units produced is far more than a total of 5,750. Also, I'm willing to bet that Toybiz or even larger companies like Hasbro have much more influence over the cost they pay for raw materials, labor, etc. Sideshow is small potatoes by comparison.

And of course, now that same Gollum would now cost more like $15-$17, is smaller, has less paint work; less accessories and no cloth outfit.

We got a $75 figure. :dunno

Yep, compared to what other 1/6 figures are going for Yoda is a solid value. I would agree that all figures MSRPs are more than they should be, but they do continue to sell despite the down economy :huh

I would say that Yoda for $75 feels better than the BL in casual wear (who shares a head sculpt with the suit version) for $155.

[devilof76]

What??? Those sunglasses alone are worth a c-note. :lol

All the cheaper packaging just tells me that they had a rough time selling this for what they did.

[ProgMatinee]

No ____! These cost money? Who knew? Point still stands when it comes to things we buy especially people want something for nothing.

Is $50 "something" or "nothing"? Thats the question. IMO $50 is still something and I would wager that if SSC still wanted to work hard enough to sell 5000 units of something that all those U.S. Grants would amount to "something" for their bottom line too.

Instead, they don't want to bother with the marketing aspect and instead would rather count on 1000 addicts to pay $75-$135 for something that would be $50-$80 if they made 5000 of them.

This is all a retreaded argument, and we probably don't need to do it again, just personally, I don't feel all those times that I gave SSC my hard earned $50 that I was somehow taking advantage of them. Thats BS.

Also, regarding Yoda, I mention Gollum because I think people give SSC way too much credit for "developing" a new body for Yoda, when if you look back at Justinluck's thread, I'm willing to bet you'll see a post from me that mentions the Gollum body and how they should just rip it off. Well, they took my advice so great, but lets not give them kudos and use it as a justification for price increase.

[The Josh]

Of course $50 is something thats not my point. :slap I'm speaking to the fact people want say a Yoda or $50 everything he comes with and more for that price.

Higher ES just don't work anymore. Things just don't sell well enough to justify products have a 5k ES. So ES have to be smaller and we pay more. Thats the deal.

They did not take the gollum body and just rip it off. The Yoda body has more articulation than that. So they get praise for making a well made body for this character.

[ProgMatinee]

its really a chicken or the egg. high price, low ES or low ES, high price?

[ProgMatinee]

or the manufacturing costs in yoda were so low that SSC doesn't mind carrying a 1000 or so until they sell (or dumping them to gohastings, etc).

I think the clothing costs are the most expensive thing for SSC to make, and Yoda is pretty simple and sparse.

A full refund would be palatable if I got to keep the figure. I'd take a gift card too. A big one.

[SwedishHeat]

I think the clothing costs are the most expensive thing for SSC to make, and Yoda is pretty simple and sparse.

Hands down the most expensive part of Yoda was the body. Even, if they had straight up re-molded Gollum's body and used that, it STILL would've been the most expensive. They still would've had to make molds of Gollum's body, and that's a lot of steel molds for all those pieces.

The steel molds to make a figure are still the most expensive part of the production process. The reason Hot Toys figures are so expensive, and the reason why they always have such crisp paint apps is that they use steel molds to paint the heads. It's always accurate and always precise.

The plastic molded pieces are the most expensive part of any figure.

Ironically enough, while I easily passed on Yoda, I didn't want to miss out on the exclusive Emperor. :dunno

Yep, that's exactly what I mentioned earlier in this thread. But I think that they could have kept the snake as the exclusive and simply have added the Force face to all releases and it would have probably made the cost more palatable to many.

I hate to say it, but the Bespin Luke looks pretty, well, toy-like compared to Yoda. Kind of lessens the impact. Sideshow has come a long way in the last couple years - some of their older figures don't hold up I guess.

This is a bad iphone pic, yeah I know! :)

I liked the the Petsmart base from d_jedi1, but they were sold out, and then I saw this. I picked this up for 20 and it works quite well! I just wish there was more wild life to add. :)

:lol petstore owners are like WTF why are these things suddenly a hot item???

lol, no joke. I was going to feel like a D-bag if she asked what kind of fish or fish tank I had. I don't know what kind of BS I'd have pulled out as opposed to saying it was for Yoda, lol.

Come on Yoda hut! :lol

It's for a Kenner snake. Never heard of it? Pffft. What kind of pet store is this.

[Geil]

Let's just hope this sudden surge in demand for this does not result in overly optimistic orders for other snake and reptile supplies and then it's like
Breaking News....
.....
Petstores throughout the world have gone into bankruptcy protection due to similar inventory mismanagement ...
.... and all this investigation turns out is ....
... due to the crazy nerds with their Yoda dolls !! :rotfl

Something similar happened a couple of years ago, when everybody was tryng to score a DiD Gimli from LOTR, as they've been sitting on Ebay for years... one guy that had a ton of them realized it was a hot item and jacked up the prices! :lol

Check Target (if you have one close to you) in the educational toy section they have bin displays of little plastic animals. Some of them are 1/6 scale and I imagine you could find a few reptiles to add to the diorama.

I can't recall the brand name off the top of my head, but they have good paint work and fit in with other 1/6 figures... I used one of the cats for my HT Hellboy figure:

Yep that's the one... I just wish they sold more cats :lol I finally found a 2nd one but know a couple years ago they made quite a few of them.

I did see some kittens once that would be fun with HB, but spaced out when shopping and checked out w/o buying them :lol
