Medicom 1/6 Yoda

[Dr. Odd]

Looks good Fiend! What did you use?

 

[VintijDroidGutzz]

Careful dude.. he's starting to look like Mr Myagi.

 

[TheFiend]

I didn't put NOWHERE near the amount I've seen some people give him. And I don't know why but on the pics the hair looks more plentiful and curlier. I'll futz and take more pics.


All Star Wars figures must be Vintij certified.

Better?

 

[VintijDroidGutzz]

Yeah man!

I'd make one more suggestion though.. the little dark green 'tear' sitting on his right eyelid. I can see that's a tiny bit of paint bleed from when you re-painted the eyes.. but you should try & fix it, only if you want to of course.

Here`s a pic of my yoda. I also put the head on the ssc esb yoda body. He has more articulation now and better hs by far then the ssc version. I put hair on him as well

 

[Dr. Odd]

I like that body for him, looks great!

 

[VintijDroidGutzz]

Yeah, nice one GG.

 

[generalgrevious]

thank you. I would like to get one more head to swap out for the concentrated look

New shots of Yoda/

The medicom yoda is so much better than the other versions. Except for the paint, it would be hard to create a more definitive OT Yoda.

 

[generalgrevious]

I know I love the medicom version as well. I switched the head over to the ssc yoda body to give it a more articulation

Yeah, I really liked it out of the box (the SSC one never had that "I'm holding Yoda in my hands!" vibe) but there's also something really off about the Medi Yoda. It looks good from a couple of specific angles, but it looks like McQuarrie Yoda and really sickly and emaciated. The hands are also too elongated. The repaints do help and it is the best 1/6 Yoda available, though one of the Hasbro figs looks pretty decent with a repaint, but pretty much all the Yodas got the color wrong and making him that faded grey/green helps the likeness.

I really hope HT can nail Yoda because all the versions so far have just not quite nailed it.

but you know nobody will be happy if some one else does it. look at the complaints about vader han Chewbacca so if they were to do luke and leia and a yoda there will be still complaints.

Thought I would share this for you crazy customizers out here. I replaced my sideshow's Yoda eyes with real glass ones, I think it looks pretty sweet! Will repaint him one day, not quite satisfied with the hair/paint.

 

[generalgrevious]

yeah looks like yoda got a perm

 

[eczamurai]

yeah looks like yoda got a perm

Yeah used the wrong material lol. Never did hair before so..

 

[eczamurai]

Problem is I don't know how to strip him from paint without ruining his eyes. Not sure how glass reacts to that ****.

 

[generalgrevious]

im quite happy with the medi. the way he is looks like the puppet yoda to me
