Have to say the ear seams don't seem nearly as bad or distracting here as on their life-size figure. Although the ears themselves do seem a bit too big...

This looks like he's threatening him with the whistling birds lol.

My girlfriend wants a "Baby Yoda" in the house, so this might be it, except for the plush she has.

 

[chrisstbh]

I dont know about anyone else but this figure alone isnt worth the money for a 3.54 inch figure.

 

[emperor fett]

$200 for this?????

This is truly a test

 

[Khev]

$175 is pricey for such a small collectible but it sure as hell beats $655 (for the pair) and since I still love my ROTJ PF Fett I might just spring for this little guy to go with him and call it a day. I don't know that I need two full size 1/4 Mandalorians (Fett and Din Djarin) so my existing Fett can just stand next to 1/4 Child and serve as both Fett himself and a reasonable enough approximation of both Mando *and* Cobb. Hmm, yes I'm really glad that they're offering The Child separately like this.

I know it's not your focus, but I feel like if there needs to be a nice The Child in your house, the Hot Toys life-size figure for $400 is preferable to this tiny 1/4 for $200. Both on principal and in terms of what you get. 2x the money, but 4x the figure and then some.

Glorified Kinder Surprise without the chocolate for how much?!?! No thanks.

I would have to assume that clearances/seams are tighter on prototypes. When the production ones come out, usually seams like these are a bit bigger. Either way, the price is too much so I'm out.

 

[chrisstbh]

This thing needs to be half the price.

 

[davejames]

Yeah it seems like a pretty impressive set for the price... until you realize it's only 3 1/2 inches tall. Lol

If this was a 1/2 scale figure I'd probably be a lot more tempted, as that would make for a cool display piece all on it's own.

 

[The Green Goblin]

Why get this on its own when you could just get the life-size figure and get more bang for your buck?

It's up to my girl to get the baby Yoda she likes. It won't even be in my collection room. But for $200 (or more in EU) the 1:1 version looks like a better alternative, at least to me. We'll see what she says. At least I'm glad she likes something from Star Wars on her own.

 

[ShadowGuardian]

Wait, $200?????? It's true, this really IS a test of the fanbase lol.

No way in hell I'd spend that kind of money on this one, especially considering that's American dollar. I was thinking this would be somewhat like the life size Dancing Groot they did a while back; a nice high end, small, cute collectible that would be relatively accessible to the common fan at least in terms of price.

I think the product itself is okay. I do like the set and how they're even giving him a little base, but I still think HTs attempts at the Child are ugly. Both those heads are not good. If it was reasonably priced, I still wouldn't think it's a slam dunk because of that. But with a $200 price tag??? Yeah, insta nope.

 

[Antihero]

I can't understand the appeal of this character, I don't find it cute at all.

 

[Stanlore]

I went to Secret Base to take a look at this in person.

For the price.... seriously... they are really reaching for it. This thing is really small. Smaller then 1/6 Rocket or Yoda.

Yeah it comes with the baby crib and 2 head sculpts, but really pricy especially considering you can get the life size one for about double the price.
In terms of size its 10X bigger, this 1/4 is about the size of the life size's Hand. Thats how small it is.

Its smaller than a regular 3.75inch figure. Ur needs to be either half the price or include 2 bodies and 2 heads like the 1/6 Beskar Mando Deluxe does.

Maybe Hot Toys knows something I don't and I just do not have my thumb on the pulse of collectors today but Baby Yoda or Baby Groot are so small in the first place it just seems so redundant to have them in 1/4 scale - on their own, not with a normal size companion figure or as part of a broader line - on their own - when you could just go ahead and buy a passable low-end lifesize toy for far cheaper.

I'm happy the 1/4 child is included with the 1/4 Mando. At $545 the 1/4 Mando and Child is a much better price. If you take $200 away for the child, Mando at $345 is a steal... HT is just throwing this standalone out there to catch a few folks that A) Want a Child and not a Mando; B) Don't pay attention to scale and size before purchasing; C) both A & B...
