[EVILFACE]

Is it gonna be like the Emperors throne and ship well before Yoda?

[Shropt]

After Yoda actually.

[VASith]

Damn..beat me to it Shropt. :impatient:

[Deeznutz6]

Cool, Id get that

[Avfin]

You are fast on these post.

[Khev]

Hopefully that means we'll get a Dagobah Luke much improved over the Bespin version.

[Buttmunch]

Hopefully that means we'll get a Dagobah Luke much improved over the Bespin version.

Probably when they make their 'muscle' bodies. They've already said they are working on something for Roadblock, Gung Ho, and Destro. :dunno

will it be polystone?..................:mad:

[kl241]

will it be polystone?..................:mad:

:duh Duh!

[Apone]

He never actually said 12" Could be a diorama

[Darth Cruel]

Aren't the environments 1:6?

[barryo]

Aren't the environments 1:6?

thats what i thought as well.

so if a yoda hut at 1/6th & to scale...that would maybe have the potential to seat a 1/6th luke is gonna be pretty big no?...........and however much of the outside they will include........:horror:horror...........at least 11"-12" high............12" diameter?........just guessing. but still would be hefty.

[Anzik]

I thought there would be more excitement about this but I guess SSC's recent pricing have everyone intimidated.

[thenammagazine]

Nah, I'm already taxed on space with Jabba and Carbo Han. :lol

[EVILFACE]

http://www.rebelscum.com/potf2/POTF2lukefront.jpg

Man, Hasbro has come a long way since that garbage. Well I think those are all Kenner before Hasbro bought them.

[Darth Cruel]

I thought there would be more excitement about this but I guess SSC's recent pricing have everyone intimidated.

If it is 1:6 scale, I am ecstatic! If not...my enthusiasm drops exponentially.

[tomandshell]

If it's 1:6 scale, I won't get it. If it's a smaller scale diorama, I might. A Luke & Yoda training diorama would be awesome, although they might not want to depart from the "VS" theme. But Yoda's hut in 12" scale would be too big for me.

[MaulFan]

I'm a little less than excited about this for a few reasons. First being, if it's the full hut, this will probably be as big, or bigger than Jabba's throne and it'd be an entire home, not just a slab with a railing, it'd take up a lot of space and probably cost like $500. The other side of that is, it could just be a section of the hut to keep it smaller, but then what section do you go with. I think a Dagobah swamp environment would be better for figures than the hut, more interesting visual scenes took place outside, the first encounter, Luke's training, the hut scenes were basically eating dinner and Yoda's death. As a diorama, the hut could be cool, for the figures I think more action related environments from Dagobah would add to display. You could even use it to setup the Luke vs. Ghost Vader duel if you wanted.

[The Mike]

It'll be completely made out of polystone, cost an insane amount and while it'll look great it'll be a passable item for the majority of fans. The thrones (Cobra, Emperor and Thrawn) would all have looked just as great made of plastic and with the cost spent on getting the factory paint right. I for one am not excited about this announcement but hope that it means the 1/6 Yoda is sooner than later.

[Wor-Gar]

No interest in a hut. Seems awkward whether full or open like a doll house.

I'd take some Daeth Star walls or something like that to build a backdrop.

I wish they'd spend this energy on vehicles (speeder bike) and larger animals (Taun Taun).

[Darth Madden]

My first thought is that I have no interest but I'll wait and see what they give us first. It could be great.

Ditto. It's too limited in it's appeal (you can only display Yoda, R2 and Luke) and it would probably take up too much room (and obviously be overpriced, as usual). At least with the cantina tables/chairs you can build something larger with lots of aliens, of if they made Death Star walls it'd make more sense with troopers, droids, officers and Darth, the Emperor, etc.

[SwedishHeat]

So, they've announced a Yoda Hut environment, but no Yoda, and a mine cart environment, but no ToD figures. . . what the eff is going on over in Sideshow land??

And they've shipped out the Emperor's throne with no Emperor.

We need figures for these environments!!! This fixation on polystone stuff is outta control.

[Puay]

WOW!!! I can't believe this is actually coming true!:yess:

[Puay]

Actually I ought to be celebrating only when I see that its screen accurate.:D

:lol

[DCFett]

Is it gonna be like the Emperors throne and ship well before Yoda?

LOL!!!:exactly:

[DCFett]

This fixation on polystone stuff is outta control.

Is it something with the casting process? Can you do the polystone with a cold cast method, therefore allowing cheaper materials for molding vs. steel? Just makes one wonder.

[SwedishHeat]

:lol

GOSH!! They can't do anything right!!

[SpaceCrawler]

Is it something with the casting process? Can you do the polystone with a cold cast method, therefore allowing cheaper materials for molding vs. steel? Just makes one wonder.

Normally styrene plastic requires a metal mold, therefor that tooling costs more than the materials used for casting polystone. However this should translate into lower prices for us consumers, as they aren't investing $100,000 into metal tooling for styrene.

[galactiboy]

While this sounds cool, I don't really have space I'd want to dedicate to Yoda's hut.

[bloodgear]

$500 for a tree. Great

[Shropt]

Just confirming that this is 1/6th scale to go along with the new 1/6th Yoda.

Guess I shoulda put that in the title.

[Darth Cruel]

Now I am really stoked!

I think I may have to put up a building in my yard just for my home office and collection display, though. I am all about the 1:6 scale environments for the figures! But they do take up space, don't they?

[Cocoboloboy]

I'm excited to see what they come up with for sure. I've always loved those scenes in Dagobah so if it isn't too big I'll get it.

[Hothwampa]

I would have to see it first and I imagine the price tag will turn off most of the potential buyers. Guess we'll all have to just wait and see.

[devilof76]

Cool. I wanted something like Jabba or the cantina from ESB. This may be it.

[kl241]

Yoda's Hut, Jabba the Hutt, what's next? Pizza The Hutt?

[D. Martin]

Actually I ought to be celebrating only when I see that its screen accurate.:D


I'd be celebrating if I were you.

[cadaver202]

Man, Hasbro has come a long way since that garbage. Well I think those are all Kenner before Hasbro bought them.

No man thats hasbro! Thats the '97 line and its for sure hasbro. I agree with you though, waaaay better.

what was up with those '90s figures?

[SwedishHeat]

I'd love to see the justification now, on what they were thinking making them so buff. They have their charm now, just like Vintage figs. Luke and his skin-tight pants, and bulging pecs. . .

I remember getting a set of those figs from the Star Wars Insider way back.

[kl241]

Their justification was essentially that they had to be "heroic" to appeal to boys. Most of the male action figures of the late 80's/early 90's were buff mostly due to the success of Mattel's Masters of the Universe line so toy companies were drunk with the idea that making action figures look like steroid using mongrels equated sales. If you look at the other toys that "Kenner" was producing at the time (Terminator/Aliens/Predator/Batman/Robocop and the Ultra-Police) you wouldn't have really been surprised.

[galactiboy]

I'd be celebrating if I were you.

Methinks that was an insider info hint :lol

[Darth Waller]

I'd be celebrating if I were you.

Methinks that was an insider info hint :lol

:rock :panic: :yess:

[Khev]

With Yoda's hut and tauntauns on the way we're soon going to have some show stopping ESB collectibles available. I fell out of love with Bespin Luke and sold him off so I'll either wait for a snowspeeder pilot or Dagobah training variation if they go either of those routes. I suppose people could also display Jedi Luke with the hut if they wanted to.

[IrishJedi]

While this sounds cool, I don't really have space I'd want to dedicate to Yoda's hut.

Trust me... you'll want it.

[galactiboy]

Damn, my wallet hate's hearing things like that :lol

[KillingYouGuy]

This cannot be the full dwelling, the thing would be enormous - way bigger than Jabba's throne.

[Darth Waller]

Trust me... you'll want it.

:panic: :panic: :panic: :panic:

[galactiboy]

This cannot be the full dwelling, the thing would be enormous - way bigger than Jabba's throne.

I'm now thinking this would be more of a segment of the hut... the total hut would be giant. But you never know (well apparently IJ and DMartin do :lol); Sideshow could throw us a curve ball :huh

[Amanaman]

http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/2061/itwyodahut.jpg

No way it can be the whole thing.

[Mad Old Lu]

Well, it COULD be the whole thing. It really isn't that big, is it? I would just hope there is a cutaway wall/roof so you can reach in and easily look inside.

Could be GREAT if they do a full interior with all those nooks and crannies! I'm probably getting my hopes up because most likely it's just the exterior dome with an empty inside.

[galactiboy]

I would guess a cut-away roof would be part of it... kind of like the old model kit.

[MarfMaster]

Could be GREAT if they do a full interior with all those nooks and crannies! I'm probably getting my hopes up because most likely it's just the exterior dome with an empty inside.

This would be my assumption as well. Really curious to see how this turns out!

[galactiboy]

Great signature MarfMaster :lol

Got a few of those myself...

[Khev]

I believe that SSC did say a while back that we'd be seeing bigger and better environments than Jabba's throne.

[MarfMaster]

Great signature MarfMaster :lol

Got a few of those myself...

Thanks GB :lol

Yeah, lots of figs in kitbash purgatory...

[Puay]

I'd be celebrating if I were you.

D. Martin, do you know of something that the rest of us don't?:naughty:)

[Puay]

I wouldn't mind the size of the item as long as its in scale.

I would rather have a in-scale section than a scaled-down representation of the entire hut.:)

I said before in another thread if Sideshow make this:clap, I will make room for it.:lol

[FLOSI]

Just give me Yoda. I want figures, not a bunch of Polystone crap.

[devilof76]

I'd like atleast one good piece of polystone crap as a centerpiece for my figures.

[Yodacappy]

Is there a transcript of the chat anywhere? I'd love to read through it.

[Khev]

No way it can be the whole thing.

Yeah that's not possible. It'd the size of a card table and the solid polystone would be over $200 in shipping alone. I could see them doing enough of the floor to fit Luke, Yoda and a cooking pot or two though. Maybe a wall going up behind them with portal for R2 to look through.

[FlyAndFight]

Instead of wasting time on this, SS should have been dedicating all forces towards a Chewbacca (at least ANH and RotJ versions).

Chewie and the droids are crucial to a SW collection.

A hut... not so much.

[Kuzeh]

Those are already in development... :dunno

[kl241]

Those are already in development... :dunno

Yeah and so is everything else. The question is when? :dunno

[Hirogen]

This sounds really cool, I can't wait to see pictures on it.

[Jango56031]

Hopefully we will see it at SDCC.

[FlyAndFight]

Those are already in development... :dunno

"In development" is an easy out. Keeps the folks from grabbing the pitchforks and torches... :wink1:

Yeah and so is everything else. The question is when? :dunno

Ditto. :lecture

[MaulFan]

Except, while it would take time, it wouldn't take much creativity. That's not to say making Yoda's hut doesn't require work and effort, but basically it's a solid sculpt and things that Sideshow's been doing for years, so I can't imagine any of the creative effort that figures like Chewie would need was tied up on the hut.

[kl241]

Forget Yoda's environment, just give us this:

[devilof76]

What if they did both?

:exactly::goodpost:

[jason2885]

Looks like this and Yoda may be the sneak peak for tomorrow.

[IrishJedi]

Yup. Looks that way.

[Puay]

I would need to get a second Bespin Luke.:clap

[Darth Snoopy]

Looking forward to tomorrow's reveal!

[Khev]

If this is going to be some jaw dropping setup I really hope they give us a new and improved "Dagobah Luke." I just can't see myself repurchasing the now mediocre Jedi or Bespin Luke.

[Blackthornone]

thats what i thought as well.

so if a yoda hut at 1/6th & to scale...that would maybe have the potential to seat a 1/6th luke is gonna be pretty big no?...........and however much of the outside they will include........:horror:horror...........at least 11"-12" high............12" diameter?........just guessing. but still would be hefty.

I would think that to be true to scale it would be 2 feet in diameter.

Yoda and Yoda's Hut in 4 minutes!

not bad. But I guess I'll await the Jedi Master version

TESB Yoda is the ULTIMATE Yoda. :lecture

[VASith]

ordered the excl!!! Looks great!!!

[Star Puffs]

Yeah. Ordered the exclusive to get the Snake. Kenner nostalgia and all.

[galactiboy]

Ordered the Yoda Ex; best part he was free with RP :rock :rock :rock

Pleasantly surprised he came in under $100 :rock

Probably going to pass on the hut though, its nice... but not really something I'm into.

[kl241]

I'd rather have Bilbo Baggin's house in the Shire.

[Darth Waller]

The snake is the Exclusive. PERFECT!

[Jedah Kalm]

Wow, that set comes with a crap load of stuff. Impressive.

[IrishJedi]

Yes, the environment is pricey... but it's appropriately MASSIVE. :rock

[The Josh]

The snake is the Exclusive. PERFECT!

:banana

Yeah, thats cool. Funny cause I was just looking at my ESB yoda fig last night and thinking the snake would make for a cool item.

[SwedishHeat]

Gotta love how they put the proto Bespin Luke up there, not the production one.

Snake is funny, but not worth it. The one thing that always gets me with this merch, is that Yoda never looks the right color. I know ESB had a blue-ish tint to it, but Yoda's green shouldn't be that bright. He's an ugly green.

Glad to see they went with the full shebang with the Hut, but after this debacle with the Emperor's throne, I don't think I'll be getting it.

[King Darkness]

I'll take a Yoda. No need for enviro.

Yoda looks great :rock

[Shalamar]

I've ordered the exclusive Yoda.. but that Environment is a touch tooo big.

The 4 Horsemen worked on this Yoda. Wow.

[swim]

Yes for Yoda all the way!

[roguebaron]

Got yoda, I'll skip the hut. I do like that he comes with the log ans I'd like to sit him on it. Just need to find a blue backpack now to complete the look. The hut is cool, but I have no where to put it.

[DarthTrafford]

I ordered the exclusive Yoda but passed on the Hut.
:chew

[King Darkness]

Thats Sideshow best environment to date BY FAR!

Still an easy pass though.

[Deeznutz6]

Sorry SS, looks awesome but at 275$ easy pass, I learned my lesson with Jabba's throne

[kl241]

I thought Yoda was supposed to have switch-out heads? Where's the Dagobah training backpack?

dio is pretty cool............not necessary, but cool none the less.

[ProgMatinee]

very cool, but the dio seems overpriced again. it sure is nice though. will require some thought before I pull the trigger.

[Kuzeh]

Yoda looks absolutely amazing!!
And the Enviro is awesome... but too rich for my blood...
Ordered Exclusive Yoda though!
Great job Sideshow!!! :rock!!

[darthviper107]

Hah, the exclusive snake is $5 extra

Awesome Yoda, and cool environment, but it's really big and expensive. There's so much on order right now so I'm passing on that.

[Batty]

Ordered the little green guy. Sideshow did a beautiful job on the hut.


Isn't there already a thread for this?

Pretty sure a lot more people are going to order the Hut after they see it (and more pics) at SDCC.

ordered the ex yoda. looks good
was surprise with the hut, did not see that coming but easy pass for me sideshow getting enough of my money as it is and all of my figures are still in boxes till i get the space.

will get it when onsale

[Darth Cruel]

Ordered two of these. Now I need to go back and see what they look like!:)

[IrishJedi]

Where is Khev? :tap

[Yodacappy]

Ordered both :rock

Probably should have used RP's but was hesitant b/c of the exclusive rules--do those still exist?

[barryo]

the hut is pretty damn amazing looking. i may reconsider this later, but where in the world would i put it?.............:panic:

[ProgMatinee]

does the regular yoda come with a snake? there is a boa type snake in a couple of photos. I have RW points to use, but I think I'll be passing on the orange snake, though it is a cute throw back to Kenner. Rather save the 10-15%.

[IrishJedi]

Ordered both :rock

Probably should have used RP's but was hesitant b/c of the exclusive rules--do those still exist?

What do you mean? You can use RPs to order Exclusives. Or were you trying to order more than 1 Exclusive?

[VASith]

Got the exclusive for free with points and ordered the hut.

[bobafett108]

it is nice but easy pass for me, way to much money and sideshow is getting enought of my money. did get the ex yoda. will get the hut on sale sometime

[drod26]

Just pick up the exclusive.. he looks sweet.... :chew....

[Lordscum]

Ordered the Exclusive Yoda ! Looks pretty good ! The hut as nice s it looks is a definate pass though !

So the 4 Horsemen Ric Flair, Arn Anderson , Ole Anderson and Tully Blanchard worked on Yoda??!! I didn' know they liked Star Wars and were that artistic! :lol

[Natrix]

Backstage pass is awesome!

[Avfin]

[Yodacappy]

What do you mean? You can use RPs to order Exclusives. Or were you trying to order more than 1 Exclusive?

They used to have rules (been awhile since I was able to use my reward points) that you couldn't use RP's on convention exclusives.

I'd cancel and try to get it for free using the RPs but afraid I'd get waitlisted.

[Shai]

2 amazing pieces Imo...the price is allright for the hut...looks massive and comes with lot of stuff.very impressed.

[tomandshell]

Well, that hut is really well done. I actually wouldn't argue with the price considering the size, detail and everything that comes with it. I just wish that it would be appropriate display space for more figures than just Luke and Yoda.

[IrishJedi]

They used to have rules (been awhile since I was able to use my reward points) that you couldn't use RP's on convention exclusives.

This is different. It's not a Convention Exclusive like the Clone figure... it's simply being announced an on pre-order as part of the SDCC festivities.

This isn't a convention Exclusive, so using reward points is a ok. Just do a quick cancel and re-order right now.

[Ambrosoli]

Is that a hasbro?

I think I will stick with the medi...

[SwedishHeat]

Where's the Dagobah training backpack?

While this is a glaring oversight, the limitations of scale make it an impossibility.

Even the Hasbro fig separated at the waist, and his toros just plugged into the backpack. There's no way they could make Yoda fit in the bag, and Luke would topple over with all that weight on his back.

[Natrix]

I like how the lights in the hut are going to work as well. I just don't know where I would put this as it is massive.

[Darth Madden]

Oh man that hut is fantastic but if I got it I’d have to pack up the Jabba throne since I don’t have room for both. Maybe I’ll just have to make room. :)

[IrishJedi]

[MisterEye]

Great figure, great hut, but not doing the Jedi Training backpack as the exclusive? The snake should be a given. For this price, it should be thrown in and the backpack would've been worth paying for as the exclusive. I think they dropped the ball again on the excl.:dunno

[Avfin]

Does Luke come with hut?

Uh... that's probably just a clear sign that Dagobah Luke is on the way.

[Darkseed]

Both are amazing pieces but for the moment I will pass on both. The hut is really, really cool.

[Batty]

Does Luke come with hut?

No.

............

[Wor-Gar]

So the REG comes with a snake, and the EX has an additional snake ala the Kenner toy?

He's a little overscale, but its YODA.

[SwedishHeat]

So, the BSP video says it lights up and the bogwing is exclusive. . . but no mention of either on the specs page.

[IrishJedi]

Does Luke come with hut?

"Figures Sold Separately" :dunno

That's the Bespin Luke proto. Dagobah Luke is coming down the road.

[IrishJedi]

So the REG comes with a snake, and the EX has an additional snake ala the Kenner toy?

He's a little overscale, but its YODA.

He doesn't look too terribly overscaled here:

http://www.sideshowtoy.com/mas_assets/jpg/100025_press10-001.jpg

And he's posed IN FRONT of the Luke figure. I think the scale is fine.

[bloodgear]

DO NOT MAKE THE HUT AN EXCLUSIVE SIDESHOW!!
I want that bogwing without having to pay $400 extra.

[SwedishHeat]

Uh... that's probably just a clear sign that Dagobah Luke is on the way.

Hmmm. . . wouldn't he need the "muscle" body because of his bare arms?? I know Luke isn't exactly muscular, but could he Mola Ram and ToD Indy share the same body??

I wouldn't buy a Dagobah Luke if he had ugly Pro arms.

[Wanderer]

Damn! I'm even more gutted i missed out on Medicom Yoda when it came out. It pees all over this one:monkey1

[Kuzeh]

Ordered the Exclusive Yoda ! Looks pretty good ! The hut as nice s it looks is a definate pass though !

So the 4 Horsemen Ric Flair, Arn Anderson , Ole Anderson and Tully Blanchard worked on Yoda??!! I didn' know they liked Star Wars and were that artistic! :lol

The 4H working with Sideshow!!! :clap:clap:clap

Is that a hasbro?

I think I will stick with the medi...

:slap


I like how the lights in the hut are going to work as well. I just don't know where I would put this as it is massive.

No kidding...

The hut really is huge. Why isn't it listed as "exclusive" on their site? And why does Yoda have two sets of feet?

Pedicured, and Non-pedicured?... :dunno

[FLOSI]

Ordered Yoda. SSC did a great job on the hut though. Really impressive.

[The Ween]

this enviro could use a few well placed leds like the fire pit & the inside ceiling to give it a glow inside. damn the more i look at the pics makes me want this even more.............:gah:

Barry....it does have some lights in it, but not in the fire pit but along the walls.

Ordered! :D

[Blackthornone]

While this is a glaring oversight, the limitations of scale make it an impossibility.

Even the Hasbro fig separated at the waist, and his toros just plugged into the backpack. There's no way they could make Yoda fit in the bag, and Luke would topple over with all that weight on his back.
Even real people can't stand straight up with a heavy backpack on. You would have to lean him forward.

[paradox]

cool yoda. deffenetly will order it soon)

[IrishJedi]

Damn! I'm even more gutted i missed out on Medicom Yoda when it came out. It pees all over this one:monkey1

:cuckoo: I have the Medicom Yoda (which is fine) but the Sideshow one looks just as good and will be MUCH more articulated for the same price.

[barryo]

Barry....it does have some lights in it, but not in the fire pit but along the walls.

Ordered! :D

yep saw the BS where it mentioned that.............:yess::yess:

[bloodgear]

Understand why the Snake is there but this head should have been the exclusive:

http://www.galacticbinder.com/images/YodaForceLift1.jpg

[kl241]

yep saw the BS where it mentioned that.............:yess::yess:

:goodpost: :rotfl :rotfl :rotfl :lol

[minivader]

the hut looks awesome! yoda... I think the medi yoda looks better, more like the yoda on screen IMO.

[Wor-Gar]

And he's posed IN FRONT of the Luke figure. I think the scale is fine.

I'm good with it. But technically Yoda should come up to about Luke's knee. He's about a 1/2" over scale. No biggie. Me likey. I'll crouch him down a bit.

Sculpt looks very nice. FINLLY.... YODA.

[Shropt]

I guess I'm the only person that doesn't like the Yoda. Why is he so hard to capture?

The hut is amazing though! Great job on that Sideshow.

[barryo]

i'm weak............i caved in............hut ordered........:yess:


so the estimated shipping for this thing is $7.86, so i have that going for me................. :cool:

as if...............:monkey1

[Yodacappy]

I'm good with it. But technically Yoda should come up to about Luke's knee. He's about a 1/2" over scale. No biggie. Me likey. I'll crouch him down a bit.

Yoda was 33 inches tall which broken down to 1/6 scale is 5.5 inches which is what the specs on the figure say so it seems they got the scale perfect. :lecture (always wanted to use that one...lol)

[jason2885]

I just got back from lunch and ordered the Yoda exclusive and the hut. This thing is beyond awesome. I now need to figure out somewhere to put this.

[IrishJedi]

Personally, I think they have finally trumped Jabba & his Throne with this. But I'm sure others won't be as swept away.

[silentman116]

I guess I'm the only person that doesn't like the Yoda. Why is he so hard to capture?

The hut is amazing though! Great job on that Sideshow.

I'm not really a fan of this Yoda either. He sort of looks like the love child of TPM Yoda and ESB Yoda. Something isn't right. The hut, however, is fantastic!

[trammel]

I ordered the exclusive but will probably pass on the hut.

[Anzik]

Looks fabulous but I don't have the space or the cash for it. I'll be ordering Yoda from Alterego or Viking Playground, since I don't need the snake.

[devilof76]

Hut is worth the price. It's already my favorite toy. Ordered both, with an orange snake.

Thanks Sideshow. :duff

[jason2885]

Personally, I think they have finally trumped Jabba & his Throne with this. But I'm sure others won't be as swept away.

I agree that the detail is amazing in the hut that is just not there with Jabba. I love Jabba and the throne but it doesnt look as complete as this set is. All we need now is Luke's Camp and a new Dagobah Luke along with a dirty R2 to complete the set.

[Batty]

I think the hut is amazing but there isn't quite as much diversity with it. Besides R2 and Luke, you won't be adding any other figures to this.

I agree in terms of quality and detail, but if you're looking for a display centerpiece that can accomodate a whole bunch of characters then Jabba's Throne wins. The hut is just going to be Luke, Yoda and R2. (Maybe Obi-Wan if you spray paint him light blue first.)

[tomandshell]

[Wor-Gar]

Since its not listed in the specs, can anyone confirm that the EX comes with two snakes? Reg comes with one snake?

Wish they were bendy.

[ortiz344]

The enviros are great and 'probably' worth the money, but Id wager for most, if not everyone here, display space really kills things. I got NO space for this (and since its gonna be fragile) it needs plenty, i hatefully have to pass...

Yes, but having a "complete" dynamic 1:6 display without also having to buy a gazillion other figures is not necessarily a bad thing.

[tomandshell]

Yes, but having a "complete" dynamic 1:6 display without also having to buy a gazillion other figures is not necessarily a bad thing.

Actually, that's a good point. Jabba's Throne is always going to feel a little incomplete without several characters that still haven't been produced. But with this, you can get just a few and be all done. I can see that being attractive to collectors.

[Shropt]

Yoda looks a bit too much like a Hasbro repaint of this figure. That ain't good.

http://www.rebelscum.com/toys/potjaclukeyodaaccessories.jpg

[devilof76]

In the end, this display will be cheaper than Jabba. It's just a smaller scene.

If they can do this, they can do the Falcon cockpit.

[IrishJedi]

Actually, that's a good point. Jabba's Throne is always going to feel a little incomplete without several characters that still haven't been produced. But with this, you can get just a few and be all done. I can see that being attractive to collectors.

:lecture Also, TESB + Yoda + Dagobah trumps ROTJ + Jabba + Throne every time.

Thankfully, I can display both (and Jabba & Throne are awesome!) ... but I already now have a clear favorite. :hi5:

[bloodgear]

Yoda looks a bit too much like a Hasbro repaint of this figure. That ain't good.

This was the first thing I thought of when I seen it. Sad but true...:nana:

[The Mike]

Not sold on the hut. Its nice but isn't a need to have. Finally spent my rewards points so Yoda is costing me absolutely nothing but shipping. :D

[Something Sexy]

Wow, this is impressive. I am staying out of SW 12" but I really wouldn't mind owning this display.

[devilof76]

... but I already now have a clear favorite. :hi5:

Instantly my favorite offering from Sideshow ever.

[Verbal21]

:dunno


TESB Yoda is the ULTIMATE Yoda. :lecture

I can't argue with that, but I just want a Jedi Master Yoda w/ lightsaber:lol Just my preference

[IrishJedi]

Instantly my favorite offering from Sideshow ever.

It's certainly my favorite thing yet in their 1:6 SW line. :duff

[Jedi_Knight]

Oh yeah they are identical :cuckoo:
Ordered mine I want the Prequel version now.

[The Mike]

____ it I ordered the hut. Damn you Peer Pressure! :lol

[Wor-Gar]

Yoda, Gammy, Hammy... pretty good haul this year.

[thenammagazine]

Does he not come with a stand?

Sorry if it's been answered but I have no intention of scrolling back over the course of 20 pages of freaks _____ing about the shade of green, sculpted hair and $5 increase for the snake. :lol

[Dug]

I guess I'm the only person that doesn't like the Yoda. Why is he so hard to capture?

The hut is amazing though! Great job on that Sideshow.

No, you’re not.

Thing is, I can't work out what makes me dislike it. I think It looks great in the pics with Luke but something seems off to me in the others.:dunno

The environment is very impressive but It's not my cup of tea. Too much like a posh playset for me.

On a side note, could they possibly have made Luke look any gayer in those pics, it even looks like he has nail varnish on!

http://www.sideshowtoy.com/mas_assets/jpg/100025_press08-001.jpg

[barryo]

too bad this line is dead..................:nana:

i caved too themike...............i bet others will as well.

[FLOSI]

I'm sure there's a stand. EDIT: wait, description doesn't specify if there's a stand but there is a Log. I guess to sit him on?

Description says two sets of hands and FEET as well.... WTF?

The Yoda - Jedi Mentor 12 inch Figure features:

All new portrait and newly developed articulated 5.5" tall body
Detailed costume including robe, tunic, and belt
Two (2) sets of switch-out hands
Two (2) sets of switch-out feet
Cane
Herb pouch
Necklace
Log
Sideshow Exclusive: Dagobah snake accessory

[Grenouille]

Ordered the hut. Now where the hell am I going to put it?:)

[thenammagazine]

I'm sure there's a stand.

Exactly.... no stand listed! :lol

[jediknight120]

No, you’re not.

Thing is, I can't work out what makes me dislike it. I think It looks great in the pics with Luke but something seems off to me in the others.:dunno



I think maybe... his head is slightly the wrong shape, like it's almost too tall or something? I can't put my finger on it either.

[devilof76]

It's certainly my favorite thing yet in their 1:6 SW line. :duff

1:6 is my favorite format.

Also, I'm poor as ____. :duff

[superdoug]

I think I'm going to buy Yoda and the hut so Indy can have some Sideshow Snakes. Indy line is not dead! :yess: :hi5:










I really like the detail they seem to have put into the hut. I was originally just going to get Yoda but I'm debating about picking up the hut too. I was kind of hoping he'd have his lightsaber but it's not too big of a deal since he never used it in ESB unless there is some other version/remake of the scenes that I don't know about.

[FLOSI]

Exactly.... no stand listed! :lol

I guess the log is the stand in a round about kinda way.

So who's buying the Barbie dream house? I really hope there's a garage for my Yoda's pink Corvette.

[Grenouille]

So who's buying the Barbie dream house? I really hope there's a garage for my Yoda's pink Corvette.

I'll only get the Corvette if Yaddle is coming out soon. Couldn't justify it for just one figure.:wink1:

[d_jedi1]

Just preordered the Yoda... I might think about the Hut but I'll need to see how much OT I'm pulling 4th quarter this year.

[devilof76]

So who's buying the Barbie dream house?

____ no. It's a zen garden. Without the rake. Or the sand. Or the rocks.

[Awesome]

Guys I have a question about the flexpay option, let's say I put an order for an item on flex about an hour ago, if I were to cancel it now would I have to pay one of their cancellation fees?

[kl241]

Yoda looks a bit too much like a Hasbro repaint of this figure. That ain't good.

http://www.rebelscum.com/toys/potjaclukeyodaaccessories.jpg

At least Hasbro's came with the backpack.

[FLOSI]

____ no. It's a zen garden. Without the rake. Or the sand. Or the rocks.

:lol It is cool, just really f'n big. I'm pretty much passing on just about all of these big polystone accessories now. Might get the emperors throne down the line but that's it.

[IrishJedi]

Why are folks crying for the backpack? There's no figure to put it on. And if/when there is... he'll surely come with it.

[SpaceCrawler]

At least Hasbro's came with the backpack.

Sideshow plans a backpack, it'll be made of polystone and cost $150.

The hut would be nice to have (for the completist in me), but looks rather cramped, thus unimpressive, and costs way too much. I could make a better one for less money.

Sean

[Amanaman]

Why are folks crying for the backpack

It's the SW section. :panic:

[VASith]

Why are folks crying for the backpack? There's no figure to put it on. And if/when there is... he'll surely come with it.

:goodpost::goodpost::exactly:

[icruise]

I'm not really into 1/6 scale figures much anymore, but I ordered the exclusive of this guy. I think the sculpt is great -- much better than the Medicom version.

I don't quite understand the scale though. In this picture with the apple, he kind of looks too tall.

http://homepage.mac.com/denkinews/images/toys2/ss_yoda1.jpg

But he looks fine in the shot with Luke. He looks shorter than the stated 5.5 inches here. Maybe they just have him hunched over more.

http://homepage.mac.com/denkinews/images/toys2/ss_yoda2.jpg

[devilof76]

Why are folks crying

Girls cry because they're girls. :lecture

[icruise]

As for the environment, it looks pretty cool, but would be difficult to display well (kind of like Jabba's throne in that sense). Given the price, I'll definitely pass but I wouldn't rule out the possibility of getting one later if they become available more cheaply (again, like Jabba's throne).

[TheObsoleteMan]

First figure I've ordered in a long while. The log and Kenner snake are nice additions.

[kl241]

Why are folks crying for the backpack? There's no figure to put it on. And if/when there is... he'll surely come with it.

[silentman116]

Wow, that picture really illustrates how off this Yoda is:

[The Josh]

Personally, I think they have finally trumped Jabba & his Throne with this. But I'm sure others won't be as swept away.

I'd call it a tie. Both look spectacular really. You can't go wrong with either or having both. The thing that would push this ahead is I love Yoda.

Still trying to decide if I'm gonna get the hut or not.

[CanolliCrusader]

I couldnt help myself and ordered yoda and hut...I typically dont order anything but PFs and Coms, but here I am

[kl241]

How hard would it have been to give him some rooted hair instead of those hideously sculpted sideburns and widened his face and painted the skin color correctly? This looks like the vintage Kenner figure in 1:6 scale but even Kenner got his skin color right.

Gotta pull that belt wayyyyy up for the old-man appeal of Yoda.

[crasis]

Not since Jabba and his throne have I been THIS impressed with a Sideshow offering. This is an absolute MUST in every way. I ordered the exclusive Yoda before I even noticed the hut. Then I lost my mind. :yess:

But, my god, where will I put this massive thing?? :thud:

how is that a good thing? Yoda looks like that.

[Joker]

That may just be the worst modern Yoda sculpt I've seen. I guess it matches the rest of Sideshow's line though. I don't know why people still collect this junk when the market is flooded with better stuff.

Medicom, which is very very sad. :mad:

[PJB-1138]

http://sideshowcollectors.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=1131&pictureid=12747

This looks more like Yoda to me.

I think this may be the first time that Sideshow was EASILY bested by a Medicom predecessor in the SW 1/6 scale category.

[Karma]

doll and a doll house :lol :p

[icruise]

Medicom, which is very very sad. :mad:
I dunno, I much prefer the Sideshow version (and I used to have the Medicom one). It does seem like Sideshow sort of "reverse engineered" an older version of the prequel Yoda rather than recreating the actual ESB Yoda, though. Not crazy about that.

[godaiking]

Pass.

I'll keep my version instead :wave:

Even the Medicom version is better than this. The environment is cool though.

EDIT: Just looked at the Medicom. Wow, he looks like a corpse almost. I remember liking this figure a lot back in the day. How things change...

I've been away from this forum for a long while, so I feel I must thank you for giving me a good chuckle on my return. It's almost...nostalgic to see ridiculous posts like this. Time may pass, but the internets remain. :1-1: Let's hug it out, big guy.
