Grogu - What collectible?

If you were to add just one Grogu to your collection, which would it be?

Life-size ? (Hot Toys / Sideshow ? )
1/4 scale ? (Hot Toys / Sideshow ? )
1/6 scale ? (Hot Toys)
..maybe smaller?

As far as i am aware, 1/3 Grogu is not available, not yet atleast.

Iron Studio's offered a 1/4 scale piece as part of a The Mandalorian statue.

In our house the Sideshow 1/1 was the best bet. We still stand strongly by that choice.

We are considering the 1/4 trio as an addition though.

The Hot Toys 1/1 featured rather large hands. Or were the Sideshow 1/1 hands too small?
I am edging towards either the Sideshow 1/4 The The Mandalorian with Grogu or the Hot Toys The Mandalorian with Gorgu

I don't think I noticed a problem with the hands on either of them. In person, they look proportional to us.

The biggest deciding factor for us were all the complaints from people who bought the HT version and all of the throat rips they kept getting from moving the mouth (and the official groups quickly deleting those threads and pics). Also the ear seems were very unsightly.

There is a comparison video on YouTube
The Hot Toys hands are 2 or 3 times larger than the Sideshow Grogu. One of the two companies got the hand size very wrong.
I think Sideshow possible ended up looking the better of the two, even if they over did the redness on Grogu's face.

Interesting... I will try to look for that video out of sheer curiosity!

Oh, yeah... I forgot the redness scandal! I think ours came from a later batch after they toned that down due to the complaints.
