The problem with CG Yoda like many other CG characters is that they lack "weight". Movements are floaty, lending to that perception that they look fake.
That's what I notice the most with CG living things, the graphics can look real, but often it is movement that gives it away. I find with unclothed CGI creations, the movements almost seem to lack a skeletal structure, almost like the body is a big piece of rubber. The skin looks real, but the motions look unlike any living creature when it moves.
I am good with a bare naked "mini-pro" with a Yoda portrait, and Yoda hands and feet for 125.00.
Wjich is likely what we're going to get. sideshow prices have increased since the hobbits, and if they're doing a whole new body, we can expect higher prices on yoda. I'm sensing a 90$ MINIMUM pricetag.
A big difference Yoda has with Frodo and Sam is that most customers probably have a large collection of SSC SW figures that will not be complete without Yoda.
$90 might be a lot for a four inch figure, but in the context of a SW collection missing Yoda I think folks will squawk but still bite.

Star Wars is a strange merchandising phenomenon, and nothing comes close to it. Having the Star Wars license is like having a license to print money. Only one or two companies failed at it over the last thirty-three years.
There are more Star Wars collectors than there are LOTR collectors. What is truly odd however, is how few Star Wars collectors there are in coastal States compared to the middle States.
For the most part, Star Wars collectors spend their money on 3 3/4" figures in stead of high end stuff. Many site they can't afford the high end stuff, but when doing the math, they usually spend more a year buying the cheap stuff than we do buying the expensive stuff.
Thats not Yoda...thats an Ugnaught...no ears on the head..you would see yoda's ears.
I think Star Wars collectors, for the most part, put a higher value on the overall size of their collection. I think a lot of collectors are aspiring to have a collection as big as Steve's (which at this point would be impossible...) and so they consider 10 figures that look kinda like the characters are more desirable than one figure that looks much more like the character.
Yeah, but he's being released 2 (or is it 3) years later... I'm hopeful for him being unders $75; but not counting on it. Especially if he's fully articulated.
