oh one more day until the mandalorian season two yes and i have a very exciting
unboxing here in the cave hello everyone adam savage here with a show and tell
from our friends at sideshow collectibles this is a life-size piece of the mandalorian that
sideshow is releasing and it is as you've probably surmised by reading it is the child i know i think
of the child as baby yoda but that's not how it's referred to it is the child oh look at this
you know okay so i'm just as long as we're doing an unboxing let's take a look at the whole thing
nice this original artwork of from the production of the mandalorian there's the child there's
the child in its floating bassinet there's the classic lone wolf and cub shot yeah uh
it's great beautiful beautiful reproduction sideshow always putting in the extra effort
and it doesn't hurt when you work with someone like lucasfilm who's just fat with extra
extra wonderful material congratulations on acquiring
the asset oh it's actually talking to me as if i'm a bounty hunter thank you for your cooperation
we will be in contact oh they want me to show them how the child fits into my life well
my children thing one and thing two are grown and i'm very pleased about that um
you know that i'm gonna wanna make a bassinet for this thing i'm just sure of it but i'm not going
to get ahead of myself i can't wait to see this thing up close i tell you when i see something
like the mandalorian with the child in it and i realize okay favreau and his and filonia and those
all those geniuses that sat down to figure out this show they came up with that concept and then
that concept requires narratively for that character to be compelling like
this is a long way of saying baby yoda is sorry of saying the child is
such a compelling character to me because it's just it feels it's so well designed
and it needed to be otherwise the show wouldn't have scanned it wouldn't have worked it wouldn't
have yeah anyway i'm impressed color me impressed i'm smelling all sorts of off-gassing polyphenols
biphenyls and whatever it is in those plastics that oh look they gave me a
shift knob i might have to remake that myself out of aluminum nice there's the shift knob for
for distracting silica do not eat uh we have a base oh yeah i'm going slowly more silica
nice base mandalorian the child life-sized figure does even that is absolutely gorgeous
a three color bottom high graphic high contrast graphic is beautiful
um
oh nice so this is apparently made from the uh you know based off the original made by legacy effects
um legacy effects formerly stan winston studios
they basically made everything everything you could think of it's them um dude
i just gotta look at this beautiful face
oh i okay oh let's get more silica okay have i gotten all the silica i think i have all
right now i can feel his collar has wire in it so it's posable which is itself really
really cool um i can also feel he's got little legs look at that so i'm gonna pop one in here
is that where it goes yep that's it that's a nice positive fit his uh his his little
his little uh smock here is actually really nicely made it's a really beautiful piece of piece of kit
and uh i'm i'm i actually had to touch it because it looked like it was almost silicone
i mean this thing is beautiful uh and the reason i was wondering if it is almost silicone
is because the skin has a translucency to it that feels hyper
realistic um listen sideshow are friends of ours and they sent this to us and we love those guys
we love what they make however everything that i'm saying about this is the way i feel about
it this is a beautiful beautiful replica it's absolutely gorgeous and i want to get a flashlight
oh yeah i want to get a flashlight because the um the eyes are really particularly lovely
and yeah i was right they've got there's a real lensing to the eye and brown eye behind that it's
this thing not only photographs really well which
i can tell and i could tell from the promotional material but it's also
absolutely beautiful in person now i'm wondering if the arms are actually movable because there's
a magnet on the other side of this and i don't know if he's supposed to hold that in his hand
it feels yes it does feel like it but it doesn't feel like the arm moves and i don't want to
i don't want to snap it off that would be bad um look at that this collar is great
i really like that they i really appreciate that they made the collar posable that is a
just you know for those of us that really you know this look matters and you want it to feel right
yeah that's great and so if i put this in his hand no he doesn't hold on to it there
so put this in his hand no he does okay so he can hold on yeah he can hold on to this
but he's not handing it to you this is a static this is a static figure also
how did they do this he's got wispy white hair he's good look at that see that there you go
i uh aside from i think some potential weathering that i might do on his costume
with just a couple cups of coffee oh he's got a zipper even look at that
he's got a little oh that's very cute he's got a little belly and everything
that is adorable and he's got little feet look at these little feet oh my goodness
we i did we even see these in the show i don't remember seeing feet in the show
but i will wager these are based off of the sculpt at legacy because when
look when when a company like legacy does a maquette of something like this
they do it naked then they figure out how to address it but they figure out what all the
parts look like and so we're getting this sort of wonderful extra view into the extra work that
someone that the folks at legacy do on a project like this man there's a lot more i'm guessing
there's a lot of red in the face and a lot of red in the ears more than you would expect i'm
guessing that helps it feel more vibrant on camera and it's a great example of the kind of paint job
that works for camera and looks a little overly intense in person but not here uh here it actually
it just makes it feel like a like a like a genuine thing i wish his ears moved yeah i mean we all
want the fully animatronic one so they want to this is this is this is great yeah see that
does his head turn oh it does it does okay so we could pump at him just a little bit
right and he could oh my gosh he is adorable he she i mean how many genders do the yodas have
we have no idea we say he but could be anything um sideshow you have done an amazing job and also
the legacy affects folks the idea that you'd be tasked to make something like this and that
you succeeded in not only making it but making it super compelling and super beautiful and a puppet
that works most of the time that is chef's kiss sideshow thank you guys this is amazing he is
beautiful i am super pleased i really didn't expect that it would look this great i i
thought it would look fine i thought it would look great i didn't realize it would be breathtaking
