But testing for blood type could also reveal version 1.75

Might be v10 just by looking at the front of it.

Looks like V2, need to see the robe tears (right elbow) and the entire head, so... NO confirmation yet.
And remember to "Bernie-ize" his hair. That is, wisp it out.

I've been on the verge of buying this guy so many times over the past month or so, but I just haven't pulled the trigger. Not because I don't think he's worth it, but simply because I'm trying not to open the floodgates of collecting Star Wars in 1:6.
Trying to keep it to my current collection of old Han, young Han (with Jnix scupt) and ANH Chewbacca, and that was easier when some of the likenesses weren't quite there for my tastes, but some of the recent Hot Toys releases and pre-orders are calling out to me...hard. And this little guy is top of the currently available list. But it's just such a slippery slope. Only favourites soon becomes only iconic characters soon becomes original trilogy only soon becomes original trilogy and Disney era films which itself soon widens out to gradually including key aliens, bounty hunters and troopers, and in the end you're even picking up a selection of prequel characters. Once you start down the Hot Toys path, forever will it dominate your collecting...
Still, just Yoda couldn't hurt, right? And maybe Hoth Leia. And Jedi Luke would be mighty tempting. As would Lando if they ever made him. And...

Opened mine today. He's okay. Glad I have him but he is not worth the $240 shipped USD most people will pay for him.
The body is tight on mine. Wish the ankles were ball pegs. At first I thought they were just wrist pegs but they are a different size. Can't get one of them to rotate and too scared to force it. The belt feels really cheap I bet it will disintegrate in a couple years lol. Like the material for his tunic. The hair is okay but a lot of mine has already fallen off.
Like him, glad to have him, should have been like $139.99.

The reason I am not making the purchase. I can't have that reaction after spending that much money! This is why I elected to go with the Snowtrooper Single

This Yoda is one of the best star wars collectible I own. Definitely a must own for any star wars fan. He is still available.

I know this would make a great companion piece to all my OT figures. Especially Snowspeeder Luke and the eventual HT R2. I just can't do it now though. Too many others that interest me more. Congrats to everyone who has him though.
I know, I'm having a real hard time pulling the trigger on this guy.
I know I'll regret it, but... excitement level at 0.

To be honest, if I didn't have DX07, I probably wouldn't have gotten him. He's a great figure, but I more got him to be a companion piece to my ESB Luke since I personally think those are the only two figures required to capture the essence/gist of ESB.

Guys, don't miss out on this one, it's the best out there and we probably won't see another, certainly not a puppet Yoda version.
PLUS, I finally got the lamp lit! Needed special mini-phillips but it looks great, nice amber glow.

If I have one major complaint about this release, it's that damn screw for the battery compartment on the lamp, it's just too tight. I have a nice set of tiny screwdrivers but struggled to get the screw to move. I thought I was going to completely strip the screw. Once I got the screw out, I tossed it, I'm never going to try and put it back in again.
Edit:
I've always wondered if this was a lamp or a heater, I looked it up on the product page and it says it's a Power Unit, I found on Wookieepedia it's also called a Fusion Furnace used to recharge things like droids or weapons, it also generates heat and light:

I left the screw out too, just didn't toss it out, but I wanted to.
Oh, and great face palm pose!
