1/6 Hot Toys - MMS - Star Wars: Episode V ESB - Yoda Collectible Figure

[devilof76]

Were there any ANH figures that you were reluctant to get, but were blown away with once you got them?

It seems like Hot Toys is somehow trying to incorporate all the various shapes and deformations of the original puppet's head throughout his scenes in the film - does that make any sense to anyone? - that could be why the weird (fat) shape of Yoda's head.

I agree. I think they tried to split the difference between his normal look and his puffed out cheek look. Usually when his cheeks are puffed out he's worried or disappointed or whatever. But the HT sculpt doesn't reflect much if any emotion so it doesn't quite match up. Still looks good though overall.

 

[King Darkness]

Well, I ordered.

It's a pity that HT don't offer alternative head in the same way Big Chief Studios do. I'd like a smirking/cocky looking Han

They did a sculpt of smirking Han didn't they? They just haven't released it yet. He was in the 1/6 Falcon they showed last year. Does anyone have the photos saved for Matner?

If Ripley does not turn out i might use those funds on Yoda!

That Han sculpt isn't great, but it's not the worst thing in the world either. I'd take even that with the Stormie Han over an identical sculpt like the Luke one was (basically).

 

[Mike86]

I wonder when we'll finally get an announcement for the Storm Trooper Han to go with Luke. Maybe it'll be one of the convention exclusives this year.

I'd say that is a good bet.

Something about the open eye headsculpt doesn't sit right with me, just like with Luke, Han, Chewie and Obi Wan (really amazed by sculpting work on Leia). The eyes shut headsculpt looks better, but I feel like Kotobukiya might have sculpted one of, if not the finest Yoda headsculpt yet. I took some pictures of him at Celebration Anaheim.

Honorable mentions to Kenner's 3 3/4" and 12" figures from 95-99. Those are IMO all pretty incredible.

Even that Kotobukiya comes with a snake! Missed opportunity HT!

Ok, now I'm sold! Looks 1000% better in this video!

 

[Jayrod88]

I wish they would throw some hair on the sculpt. Thats all Yoda is missing.

 

[parrasmaniac]

the paint up and accessories are perfect (clothing first).

If only the sculpt were better.... I would pay the 200 bucks, no doubt, but I am sticking to my SSC, for the moment!

I don't get the green noodle hair. Sculpt looks good but I think the HT is better.

Anyone recall the price for SS Yoda? It's not a bad figure at all. Not sure it's worth rebuying at $200. Same went for Vader.

I got it over a hundred at the time,shipping included.
Here's a link at Rebelscum of that figure.

[parrasmaniac]

that is the Master version.

Mentor version (ESB Yoda) was around 75 USD.

 

[TaliBane]

Yeah, that SSC Yoda mentor was a great deal at $75 (and example of the great prices/value SSC used to have,) and I sold my ex for about $250.
