It has been quite a while since I got a Gentle Giant product. The overall quality has decreased over the passing years, I think. This Yoda statue does look somehow a trip to the past of the company, back when they produced Matrix, Star Wars and Harry Potter good items.

Congratulations, my friend.

purchased my first diorama today. Dark X-Men #65/350. I love this piece and was mad that it sold out when i was looking for it but finally found a comic shop that had it in great shape. Its not the EX but just as nice.

My Red Sonja Exclusive finally came in today. It turned out much darker then i thought. Under the cabinet lights it looks better but i would have loved to have her more like the prototype with the lighter skin.

Also i have an issue with her head, it has a chip above the eye on the right side and her head magnet seems a bit weak, the head slants up a little instead of flush with the socket. I will see if Sideshow can help.

Other then that i love it.

Btw, here is my mini Video Review: http://youtu.be/ifJVZjHxRrs

Although i love this statue and the way it came out I did have some issues.

Pros
1. Paint application was excellent

2. The mix of media her is excellent, the sword has a good weight to it

3. The exclusive head is really a must have for this piece

4. Sculpt is beautiful

5. Severed head is really detailed and a must have

Cons
1. There was a paint chip above her eye on the right side of her face

2. Her head's magnet is weak and she seems to be looking further up then she should

3. Her skin is really dark compared to the prototype, i would have preferred a light skin tone which was shown on the prototype.

4. Her belt is a pain to put on, i had to look at photos online to see how it came on

I will contact Sideshow Collectibles and see if they can replace my head.
