Toyguide Update: Sideshow Holiday Yoda
The Yakface Toyguide updates resume today with the addition of the 1:6 Scale Holiday Yoda from Sideshow Collectibles.
PROS: Proving once again that they are at the top of their game when it comes to high-end Star Wars collectibles, Sideshow faithfully recreates Ralph McQuarrie’s iconic 1981 greeting card painting in three-dimensions. Excellent craftsmanship all around as the deco, fit and tailoring of the “Santa Suit”, and material selection for both the suit and gift sack are top notch. Sideshow also went the extra mile in producing an attractive keepsake gift box designed to appear as though it was wrapped in Star Wars gift paper. The 2011 Holiday Yoda is the perfect gift for not only 12″ collectors, but also fans of McQuarrie’s illustrations.
CONS: None.
Head to the toyguide for the full image gallery and to judge for yourself whether this figure is worth adding to your collection.
You can also weigh in with your impressions on the figures we add to our toyguide on facebook and in our forums.
