Sideshow 1:6 Yoda (ESB)

So who's going to buy this to post in-hand pics?

Maybe we should start a gofundme and everyone can chip in $5.

I just got the HT version so I won't be picking up this one.

What's the point. It's not looking great even in their own photos sadly.

Is the huge box going to have empty trays where the accessories were supposed to be to really rub in how we got jobbed?

You only got "jobbed" if you bought this thing.

I was just hoping to score the lamp.

So cane, lamp, and hands. Let me guess it’ll still be more than Hot Toys’ version. On top of that it’s not that great looking. Such a weird figure for Sideshow to have even released.

It's $150

Yikes! I was initially hopeful after the first preview pic in the shadowy lighting, but the thing looks cheap as hell in these new pics. And now even $150 seems like way too much.

Looks like I'll be sticking with my AOTC Yoda preorder.

I'm laughing so hard right now

That’s honestly surprising given how Sideshow likes to attach big price tags to bare bones figures. Still kinda pricey for the quality and overall package.

To be fair, they at least went straight to (what I assume is) production fig pics rather than the standard SSC move of showing an amazingly handpainted proto then shipping something that's anywhere from a noticeable step down to a total shocker.

The new Black Series figures are taller than this thing. Look better. Cost $20

I think the previous tactic might move more units.

Well, it does look like a production sample, so maybe it actually will be in-stock and ready to order tomorrow.

I guess it's a nice surprise ... going back a few years in price, for a simple Yoda figure. Probably just a test for them to see how the market responds to maybe a bit more barebones release. Maybe they're thinking about bridging the gap between Hasbro and Hot Toys, hitting that middle ground between mass market and premium.

I would say $150 goes back maybe two years. The 2011 Sideshow Yoda was $70 and came with a log and bendy snake.

And bridging a gap between Hasbro and Hot Toys would land it somewhere in the $100 range.

The talking/moving 9" Yoda is about $60 and the 12" one is maybe $25...

That being said, I'd love it if someone bridged that mass market and premium gap.

So cheap looking with no real cheap price.

150$ saved... Thank you Diveshow !
Now we need this:

 

[momaw]

Sweet. I always wanted a Yogurt figure. And the complete lack of accessories is spot on as they will all be sold separately. I'm gonna get the flamethrower.

 

[parrasmaniac]

Looks like a cheap toy.

paint apps. Hot Toys sculpt is not better than this one, but HT delivers a higher end collectible feeling because of the paint apps, especially the eyes and the not so rooted hair...
