'This is cheap' - Oh maybe I won't get it... 'This is plastic' - Oh maybe I won't get it.. 'THAT'S CUTE' - ORDERED! 😄

Thanks for doing such a good comparison. Hot Toys is cute that’s for sure, but that’s about it. The hands and feet tho, my gawd. This is like Grogu once he beefs up a bit when training with Luke.

Hot Toys Grogu captures the cuteness of Grogu way better than the SS version. SS missed the main Point of Grogu. =D Plus the decision to making him stare up... really bad choice. Sure you can chop him up and make him poseable, but the face being in a fixed pose that isn't the cutest can't be fixed. IMO, Hot Toys for the win.

Sideshow hands down. Hot Toys looks great, but has some things I’m not too nuts about. Both are great options though.

I ordered the Sideshow Grogu today. Thanx for the comparison Jedha. I like them both, but that facial expression from the Sideshow IS Grogu.

I'm definitely doing the Adam Savage mod to my SS Grogu - it truly does make a figure that is best of both worlds.

Awesome analysis on both as always. They both serve a different purpose. Already have SS from day one and cant wait to take the HT version out to the coast for some awesome shots. Thanks for a the wonderful vids!

Going with the hot toys one for sure. I'm really glad I waited and didn't settle with the sideshow one

love the ending paying tribute to Adam

Great review! You always give us the straight forward talk and love that. Regarding the child. I think it’s hard to put them in the same category. If you want life like screen look then get the sideshow one. If you want to pose him for photos and play around with him then go for the hot toys one. I am going for the sideshow one as I want more accuracy and life like. I also agree that the hands on the hot toys one looks “cheap”

I'm waving the Hot Toys flag, flaws and all! Obviously neither is perfect, but I'm definitely on team cute and posable.

Fixed pose and the sad looking up from SS are a deal breaker for me.

I like the sideshow one but i love the hot toys one.

We fell in love with The Child on The Mandalorian because he is so cute, Hot Toys nailed it that's the one I'm buying!😎

Does the stand light up or something? Curious with the battery compartment.

I own the SS, In the long run its going to be worth something in my opinion later in years. I probably would get the hot toys one too this year just for taking it out for photography. I do know someone who took the SS one and ripped it apart so it was most "move able"

Great vid, pro's and con's for both. Thanks!!!

Both are good, i don't know why they made detachable ears though, would of been much better to have them bend instead so there's no seam, and the first thing i noticed on the hot toys was how big the hands are, if i was to buy one now id still go for Sideshows, just because it's more accurate all round. Either way both have their own pros and cons.

I completely understand how both could have hit and misses. So cool to own them. I agree I would have both if I could. Lol I have seen Adam savage’s video. Yes he is brilliant. I enjoyed this video. I would really love the Hot Toys version because of the pose ability. Thanks for sharing them. ✨🌟✨

For my money, it’s the Hot Toys one. I hated those rosy cheeks on the SS one, the looking up constantly and I don’t want a statue. I want the cuteness, articulation and mouth opening aspect as it will keep it looking new and interesting over time IMO. Ears seams look fine and swapping them out is another fun reason to get the HT one for me. I like the idea of the elf on the shelve thing too thanks! Awesome unboxing as always, love your content, I’m a big fan of the channel. 👍🏽

Happy to have your opinions on both and Yep, I did watch Adam Savages mod build! LOL Luminous beings - both of them #TooCute #EarPlay

awesome comparison review my bro!!! congratulations for the awesome figures !! one question my friend the base of the hot toys life size grogu the child includes batteries and lights up, right?? or not??

I pre-ordered the Hot Toys version from Sideshow 😁

The ear seems are a deal breaker for me. I really like the articulation in the Hot toys but there are easy mods people can apply to the SS one to add articulation. The softer material for the Hot toys head and mouth opening feature is fantastic, wish the SS one had that. But I like the paint apps, costume paint on the SS better. It looks like a real prop puppet they'd actually use in the show as opposed to the HT which still looks a little doll-like.

Sideshow one is much more accurate but hottoys is like more a toy to play with it and pose it

I owe the SS, I like the HT knowing he can look down and move. The feet and hands are def off compared to his head IMO. Decisions decisions 🤔 oh btw awesome video as always!

The hot toys the child looks good but, I agree with you on everything you said. I’m glad I went with the sideshow one I am very happy with it and he looks great in my cabinet with my Mandalorian Hot Toys figures

I own the sideshow version. Like it but I wish at the very least it was possible to lower his head. I have no low shelf space, so he looks like he,s looking up at the ceiling. 😭 I’m digging the hot toys version because swap out ears and mouth can open. But I’m not sure if I will buy it. Do you think they will make a new version in the future?

Hmm...for me, it is neither one. I went for a Mattel basic version (the first one), put him onto a Frankensteined doll body (because of proportions), 3D-printed a pair of feet, repainted him, put magnets in his hands (he HAS to play with his shifter knob, after all), made him a new robe using parts of the Hasbro robe, put hair onto his head - and got something pretty nice IMO. I really like my version, has even posable head, shoulders, hand, hips and feet. Oh, and of course he has his necklace. Head-wise, I think the Sideshow is far better. If I had tons of money, I would get one and customize a Sideshow one.

great vid, not sure which i prefere. maybe the SS

Great review. The best I have seen so far of Grogu. I totally agree on your comments. I have the SS, but I got to have the HT. It's just irresistible.

I’m going to stick w the sideshow. It’s way better when it comes to looking more accurate and I feel like the feet are too big on the HT one by A LOT. I’m just going to turn my Sideshow one into a posable doll if I want the articulation cause those ear seams kill the realistic look for me.

Sideshow Legacy is the more detailed, refined and authentic looking. 😊

Big thumbs up, you helped me decide assuming I can actually still get one

Have to go with hot toys for me. He just reminds me more of tbr TV show, appose to the sideshow one. Upon the hot toys release, it clearly makes it more obvious that sideshow pose isn't great. Stuck in that gaunt, looking up pose. Hot toys has it flaws, but I just prefer the overall presence. But I do agree, he need to be properly weathered and the only thing that is annoying me, is the massive hands. Needs to be in between the sideshow and hot toys somewhat. Think whatever someone picks up, it's a great buy regardless.

Hot toys hands down for me!💯

They're different enough that, between them, they should satisfy most of the fanbase. Neither is terrible, neither is perfect. The Hot Toys is cuter, but at the expense of practically being a caricature. The SS is closer to the movie puppet, which isn't shocking, considering Legacy Effects helped with it (they literally made the movie Grogu), but it cannot be posed and the face is frozen. The red cheeks on the SS are easily fixed, though, and plenty of people have punched hair onto the ears. Add some minor weathering to the fabric, and maybe add armature wire to the arms, and the SS piece improves by leaps and bounds.

how do you edit your videos ? do you use a switcher black magic tech for editing??

hot toys one for me wins mainly for it can be posed, I prefer the hot toys face too.

For me, the Hot Toys version is better in general. I like the tunic from SideShow more, especially the color and the part on the neck. But if I have to choose one, the one from Hot Toys is the winner.

When "Baby" Yoda is basically the size of actual Yoda...😲

After looking at screen grabs from the show and both of these figures I went with the Hot Toys one, the face is more like what we see most of the time on the show. As for the hands, both are not quite right, Sideshow has the fingers too thin and the Hot Toys has them a little too fat, but the wrist and palm should be as "fat" as the Hot Toys versions. The one I just got doesn't have the noticeable yellow splotches on the collar, so they seem to have stopped doing that. For a year I've been able to talk myself out of spending that much but finally broke down and got one.

ss Grogu looks like he stayed with Luke.. ht Grogu chose to go with Mando 😄

Great review!!! I have sideshow Grogu. I am happy with him. I really wanted ti know the texture of hot toys. And your review was great help to me 😊 thanks

Great vid, the first one of yours I've seen. My only quibble would be that the whole argument about which is better is a bit redundant if the comparison is only between the two without any reference to the original (pics and video at least). because that's the decider on accuracy, paint and so on. Otherwise the debate will just be completely subjective and cancel itself out. Personally I'm a little concerned with HT - love the poseability but if they're using actual latex instead of say silicon or flexible plastic or whatever it'll break down after a few years. Have the HT on its way (they announced the mouth movement long after I ordered) but considering the SS if as they say the second batch toned down the cheeks...

Ahhh boo. I was hoping you would fire a shot but the pistol remained in the holster. A Friends with everyone review.

the shape of eyes are different i guess.something in the looks of SS is more accurate to the series than HT and i didn't know SS was made by the same guys who made Grogu in real life.both are amazing but i vote for SS

lol I have to find someone to make me some eggs from the frog lady episode

The Hot Toys version has a hole in the knob where the Sideshow one doesn’t.

For anyone who feels the choice is coming down to the rosey Sideshow cheeks, that’s literally a 10 second mod with a baby wipe to mute the color. There are several YT videos to take you through the process. For me, it’s all about the detail and accuracy of the Sideshow/Legacy FX piece.

I agree that the Sideshow version is more authentic and respectable...and worth the money.

So neither of them have ear hair? That's one of the first things I notice when I google Grogu images. I was trying to see which one matched the show cloak better

Got both, waiting on Hot Toys.

Gonna watch your vid first and see which One I want sitting on my shelf! 😁

Sideshow / legacy head and hands are actually vinyl

I think the hot toys one is perfect. But I also love the sideshow one

My SS came today. LOVE IT! No way I'd pay that price for the HT one. WAY OVERPRICED for the quality.

Ideally we probably needed Sideshow quality paint apps with Hot Toys posability but that would have likely been too cost prohibitive to manufacture/buy. I like them both but probably going to pass on both and put the money towards all the new 1/6 scale releases incoming! Great video, excellent to see the side-by-side comparisons 👌🏻

I have the side show one and this one on preorder I want a second one of the hot toys because omg they were so cute!!!! Loved your video btw :) I do agree it look like a doll! And I love dolls so I want the doll lmao I 100 percent agree it looks like a doll and now I want a second doll lmao

They are both cute. :) Not sure if I like the HT teeth. Just be careful if you get the Hot Toys one, I have seen reviews, if you move the mouth a lot it can damage underneath his chin. A mix of both of them would be really cute. I love Adam's Side Show mod. :)

Hot Toys is obviously the superior version, I mean it has it's issues but c'mon articulated over a statue.... plus the statue can't be displayed high up or you'll be looking at his chin. Hot Toys I feel has more playability than Sideshow and if you are concerned about spending that kind of money Hot Toys is just the better option, you get more bang for your buck honestly. Maybe not as detailed in the skin but all in all it's just better for the price. In my opinion at least. I mean you can't really do anything with Sideshow's Grogu.... it's a nice display piece but you can't really take it down and say hey check out this cool pose I can put him in. Sideshow you just show it to someone in a glass case or something and that's about it. Its just my opinion but yeah Hot Toys is great and worth the price.

My HT one is coming in 2 days. My Sideshow is delayed and still haven't arrived in Malaysia yet :(

You seemed more than less impressed with the HT Grogu... at least I got that vibe from watching the video. Good side to side but for me, SS takes the cake.

honestly, I wish legacy worked with hot toys instead of sideshow.

Both are good ! I have the side show one and I’m happy with it :) The Sideshow skin quality looks better than hot toys one in your video ! But Both skins are good in Someone’s video lol But their videos are using like filter so your video is winner than theirs videos

See Legacy only had involvement in the overall design, they didn't have input on the paint. They merely provided a mould, that's it. Hot Toys had nothing to work with and still produced a masterpiece in my eyes. Sideshows downfall comes in that ridiculous upright looking position

If I had to pick one it would be the Hot Toys one for me that is

can the Hot Toys look up like the Sideshow? In all Videos I see he can look down but not look up. Thanks for that video.

Gosh I want one. But knowing that Adam Savage has made the best one (and only one) has saved my wallet some grief. This time wallet.

“It just looks Hasbro...” lol. So my suspicions are correct. The Hot TOY figure is more of a toy and the Sideshow is more of a replica. Two different things. If you want a toy get the Hot Toy figure if you want a replica get the Sideshow. Great video!!!

I got the sideshow version at the beginning of the year. The difference between hottoys and the early promotional images is too big. It is simply changed to another material.

I like the head from Hot Toys but not the body and on the Sideshow I like how they take their time to perfection the body of Grogu. How about I take the HT head off and put it on the SS.

Wonder if it would be possible to modify the Sideshow head and hands onto the Hot Toys body 🤔🤔🤔🤔

Awwww too cute! I hate the huge feet tho. Otherwise it's too darn cute!

Great honest video buddy. I’m disappointed in both. A real shame

whether good or bad. I have the slideshow Grogu and I have ordered the Hot Toys Grogu.

The sideshow one is too red....Grogu looks embarrassed....Like he just shit himself and was afraid to mention it...😳

When Jedha put baby yoda in a sitting position it looked like he was his private chiropractor

The Hot Toys one is freakin cute.

Havnt got one yet waiting to see comparison

I prefer the sideshow one, because later I can get "the Child 2.0" or "Grogu 1.0 (with mini beskar armour)" from reissue toys and have both

Where can I get that at I need to know?

..any updates on which company got the hand size correct/incorrect? The redness on the cheeks of the Sideshow piece is off putting. The seams on the ears of the Hot Toys pieces is off putting. The Hot Toys portrait looks more toy like. The Sideshow portrait looks more realistic.

Can't wait

I prefer the hot toys over the sideshow but both never hit the home run and never delivered what was promised. Especially sideshow

I don’t like the glossiness on the face, the ear seams (a major issue for me personally) and the teeth on the HT. But I don’t like the red cheeks and how it’s looking up on the Sideshow. BUT...the HT one looks 100% cuter...and he can sit.

can you still buy this and if so, where from?

Side Show 1000%

Huge disappointment with a plastic pendant, but I like the pose able factor. Sucks that it has the cheap paint app and feel to it .

what up with your hot toys collectable's jaw? Any defective jaw issues after 3 months??

What does the stand do when you put batteries in?. Rotate?, light up?.

Your first reviewer who notices batter tab under base when ever I see video for this version I have to watch makes more excited get mine someday I chose preorder last year this robe & face look better from sideshow almost show accurate think sideshow hands are size accurate to hottoys sideshow face looks very old and wrinkly

Sideshow Collectibles !

I find the hot toys one cuter, and was going to get that one, but i heard it’s chin rips so…maybe not

What's up dude !!! Ask now that you have the figure of hot toys, is it true that the part of the chin is damaged by the mechanism of opening the mouth, has it happened to your figure? I send you a hug, your channel is fantastic !!! 👍🏼

Both are epic epic epic , but the hot toys for me

Pass on Both.

I like the one that looks like grogu

Sweet
