Yoda


 
Yoda himself! This time of year I like to post some of my West End Games Star Wars collection, and this tiny model is one of the biggest characters I have posted to date (excluding Lord Vader, of course). When I say tiny, I mean tiny - Yoda is a shorty in 25mm "scale" and is small even on a 20mm base. The details are really great for a model made in 1989, which tracks given that the The Empire Strikes Back box insert credits either Bob Charrette or Julie Guthrie for the sculpting work (model SW45). I really enjoy this whole line; the sculpts really capture the character of the original trilogy in a way that more contemporary versions don't. They take paint really well, push my skills with the fine details, and take me to a simpler time, a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away...
