I think the Hot Toys is looks-wise somewhat between the Mattel and the Sideshow Grogu. If you want accuracy and have money to burn, I would choose the Sideshow boy and modify him. There are several tutorials on RUclips (Cosplay Chris, Adam Savage, and others) who have done it very successfully. What you cannot get out of the Sideshow Grogu though is the change of expressions the Hot Toys Grogu offers.
I agree 💯 percent with the HT falling in the middle between the two looks wise. Between not wanting to cut up a $400 statue and the interchangeable ears,hands & mouth moveability it's Hot Toys all the way for me. 🙌
Def saw some of these come out with that issue. Not sure if it was maybe an early run but I've posed mine with his mouth open for the past 7 months and used him for some videos with the mouth open and close and still no such issues. 🤷♂
For me the eyes are the most important and I think the eyes from the HotToy version are better. The second thing I notice is the pinky skin color on the HotToy version is more accurate, the other version is to strong, to much pink.
Please be aware there’s a problem with the mouths on these….if you keep the mouth closed, it stresses the material below the chin and they tend to rip…..split parallel to the length of the mouth just above the neck
Wow, the Baby without his ears is traumatizing. 😅😢😂. I think the Sideshow one is better quality, but Hot Toys is so cute! And the moving mouth is a plus!
They are both cute. But the sideshow is really like statue for Grogu just...stand. Hot Toy is more Cuter and you can make stop-motions with this little one
@@TreyEversman i have pics of Groot and Grogu just gimme a sec to figure out how to upload. I am a Tail End Boomer perhaps Gen X so bear with me I was already confused
@@TreyEversman It's so much cuter too. But sad they skimp out on the parts where it's not showing skin. I was on a baby yoda binge n saw this insane collectible 😂

I have both and actually cut up my Sideshow piece and it was 100 percent worth it. It looks so much better!
Thanks for a video which shows anyone who makes these models exactly the reaction they were looking for. It's fun to watch
Thanks so much! I really appreciate that! 🙏
7:09 thats soooo adorable 😊
This is the way!
Fun video… fast forward two years and my husband ordered the sideshow version for me. So cool!!! Great review… even 2 years later😁✨💚✨💚✨
Honestly, appreciate the comment!! Sounds like you got a keeper..congrats on your NEW CHILD! This is the way!
The steel ball comes with him! Yesss!
It does!! This is the way!
Omg look at his little teeth 😬 he is so cool and his hair 😅
Isn't he awesome!?
You couldn't handle bebeh Grogu's cuteness, did you?
👀🔎
Hahahaaa oh gosh..I couldn't! I was so excited and still chuckle every time I love at him! 😂
@@TreyEversman , The 3rd one you showed, I have that one.
(The one you usually show in your videos)
@@kevinskywalker5539 That's one of the best and especially budget friendly Baby Yoda's on the market for sure!
I’m definitely feeling the Sideshow
It's a toss up! Both have they're pluses and minuses but I love the poseability out of the box. Thanks for tuning in! Cheers!
busted out laughing at the “this is a bit awkward” bit lol
🤣🤣🤣🫶
One cannot have no baby Yoda or enough Grogu, This is the way.
THIS IS THE WAY!
So if you keep the mouth open, there's no chance of the tearing /ripping issue?
Paying over 400 and worrying about that kinda sucks.

So thank you

TOTALLY AGREE! 🙌 This is the way!
@@TreyEversman those two should work together and make a Grogu 2.0 😄 putting the best of both into one final Grogu
This is the way!
Where can I buy it?
The possible one..sideshow.com 💪
I will take both of them.. would love to make my own animatronic grogu..
Yesss! That would be a dream!
Please be aware there’s a problem with the mouths on these….if you keep the mouth closed, it stresses the material below the chin and they tend to rip…..split parallel to the length of the mouth just above the neck
Oh I am aware..thanks! I contacted Hot Toys before the final payment and I make sure to keep his mouth open when he's just on display. Thanks!
Horrified!
Wow, the Baby without his ears is traumatizing. 😅😢😂. I think the Sideshow one is better quality, but Hot Toys is so cute! And the moving mouth is a plus!
So traumatizing haha! I agree! Thanks for tuning in!
I LOVE THE HOT TOYS ONE !!!! 😍🥰😍😍🤩🤩 oh and I have the third one you brought out😅😊😁
It's my absolute favorite! 🙌
They are both cute.
But the sideshow is really like statue for Grogu just...stand. Hot Toy is more Cuter and you can make stop-motions with this little one
Totally agree! Thanks for tuning in!
How’s “baby yoda” holding up? Love the hot toys but the risk of tearing is terrifying 😢
He’s perfectly fine! I did check that jaw area the other day..no issues whatsoever!
PS mine is a small plush cuddle toy about 8" tall for $12.99
Awesome!!

It would cost a mint if were animatronic. Could you imagine?!!!
Sideshow !.
