[@AlasdairGR]

The pressure is on for Thing 1 and Thing 2 😂

[@FlagCutie]

You can't not hold him like a baby! I got the 20 buck Costco version and both my brother and I were babying it!

[@salaltschul3604]

He's SUCH a dad. I love that he did the voice for Simone Geirtz's "Proud Parent Machine". Adam got emotional when she asked him.

[@salaltschul3604]

@Camo Crummel That's a baby for Yodas. Or whatever species Yoda is.

[@Rand0mN0rwegianGuy]

@@salaltschul3604 Yup. In “human years” (or *humanoid* lol, whatever), that’s about 5 years - so he’s just a tiny little kid still. And Yoda - who’s like 900 years old, or at least was during the Prequels at least - would then basically be about 90 years old, again in humanoid years. So reeeeally old. Basically just divide their age by 10, and there you go. If all of that made any sense lol

[@glacieractivity]

Baby Adam meets The Child. So wholesome! Here is the challenge. Adam must now design and manufacture a pod that seems to float in mid-air.

[@talyrath]

Maybe he can put it on Spot's back.

[@arantes6]

Why "that *seems* to float" ? A pod that actually floats !

[@aserta]

Could be easy if he just uses some fishing line. With shark wire, i've hung some pretty heavy items. It does have to be changed over time tho, it loses structure and snaps.

[@vblaas246]

Hacksmith collab?

[@rebekah.2187]

Yes, you do see his feet in the show. Once when Mando picks him up to get him away from the ship's buttons, and a second time when he's sitting with the kids in the fishing village. :)

[@Pintyhet]

The feets and belly got me, man. This thing is adorable.

[@aserta]

OK so list: 1. pram; 2. new knob; 3. weathering.

[@MsGrapeNehi]

My friend got me the $20 doll from Costco, and even though it’s nowhere near as beautiful and realistic as this, I still reacted with the same amount of ridiculous glee that Adam had. HE’S JUST SO CUTE, I’D DIE FOR HIM.

[@OakLaneCemetery]

First thing my wife said - "OMG! Does it move?" She wants a real, living Baby Yoda so bad. lol

Maybe develop the anti-grav to truly get that authenticity of it floating. I mean if anybody can do it, Adam can.

[@Wh0isTh3D0ct0r]

Sideshow sent one to Adam Savage specifically so that I would see this video and then go pre-order one right away from their website. Well done, Sideshow. You got me.

So happy I jumped at the purchase of one. It's going to me such a great show piece from sideshow.

[@lorb9559]

Your utter delight is the sweetest thing to watch. It's how I feel when I look and play with my animatronic hasbro version, the Build a bear, and the cute baby yoda with the bean bag body. I just cannot get over how lovable The Child is. And this life sized version looks incredible. Part of me wishes it was also a softer silicone so you could snuggle it. ❤️

[@joshuawhalen6483]

Hes so cute! But they really missed something by not making him posable!

[@antwaynetube]

Licensing.

[@cmac1100]

Most of the stuff I've seen from sideshow isn't posable

[@actionthatsucks]

I don't think so, really. I think of it like a museum piece. Not much needing to pose, and it's not very surprising to see for a Sideshow piece, as they're main thing is in statues and maquettes. Zero complaints from what I see here. And getting it from the CGI source of Legacy Effects... no brainer.

[@tankace653]

@SBB333 I don’t consider any of items toys! This will be my first statue piece! Looking forward to the Hot toys version!

[@sprigganpanda]

I really wish he was posable too! But it's still really well done

I'm no longer concerned about how the finalized production looks. Got 2 more payments to make. Can't wait until Baby Yoda arrives at my door.

[@alex-simpson]

I love how paternal Adam is getting over it!

[@Getpojke]

I can imagine that there is going to be a lot of fans lactating as they unbox and cradle "the Child" when these ship. You could see Adam just wanting to hold it like a baby. Must be a blast having him as a father, imagine the wild and crative childhood that would be.

Adam unpacking shift knob: “I can make this better”

[@Bad_Wolf_Media]

9:32 - the Child was confirmed to be a "he" in the third episode. The scientist working for Werner Herzog's Client, when the Mandalorian burst through the door, pleaded for mercy by saying "don't hurt him!" and "I saved him!" As we should all be doing here in our own little corner of our not-so-far-away galaxy, I trust the scientific professional in his determination.

[@acexprt]

Yes but the child hasn’t given its pronouns yet so we can’t assume it’s a he. It doesn’t talk.

They are selling one at Costco, it's a lot cheaper looking but I thought about getting it and modding it to make it look more like ths one... yeah it's an adventure but still, might be interesting to do. I made some doll mods so this is just a big doll when you think about it.

[@shadow7037932]

That does sound like a fun project. This is almost $400 lol. If you can get 90% there for like 40-50% the cost, I think you'll be ahead.

A one day build video of you making the baby carriage for “the Child” would be really great.

[@yshomatsu]

I told myself last year that I was done with buying statues as I've run out of room for them and I've spent a good bit of money. But I couldn't resist when they showed this and I had to preorder it. Seeing you get excited makes me glad to know others (esp someone I respect so much) likes the same things I do (edit- I do wish the arms could move, everything else about the child is perfectly made, not that unmovable arms is a flaw, just missed opportunity)

[@chrisgill9872]

I am so jealous! I ordered this the same day it was announced and my bounty should be delivered sometime by the end of November. Love the boxing… I can see that I’m definitely going to enjoy receiving it. Love tested my good man! Keep making these great videos

[@echtwaarhe6417]

You could buy chucky

[@sqooky]

@assassinlexx Or breastfeeding.

[@FlagCutie]

The Sideshow version looks impeccable and totally worth the money if you have it. But if you are on a limited budget, Costco has a way cheaper version. Yes, it is not as detailed as this one, but it is pretty cute and as soon as you unbox it you still want to cradle it like a child.

[@actionthatsucks]

This is not at all like my kids. This one will stay put, require no feeding, changing, or reasoning with. It's a dream baby.

[@MsGrapeNehi]

There’s one you can get on Amazon for about fifty bucks that talks and moves its ears and closes its eyes and “uses the Force”. It’s frigging adorable.

[@noranawa4loans]

Oh my heart was skipping beats while you opened The Child! I was giddy with you!💕💖 I coveted the piece since the presale knowing it was a static piece. I believe it better than the competitor. I loved The Child from the announcement. Well priced for a museum piece. Even with the multipayment option. Due to a family member illness just couldn’t afford him this year. Please enjoy him! I was happy to feel the thrill of the unboxing with you. My eyes are still teary. Soooo cute! 💖🥰

I too love the smell of vinyl, acetone, acetate, car paint, printers ink. I worked in the printing trade, and rebuilt and restored a couple of 90s cars/4x4. You sometimes miss the smell of those chemical smells, and walking into a paint department of a DIY store takes me back to going home with a smile on my face.

[@MattWinchell]

Adam, do you think you'll have a "one day build" of the Mandalorian Armor? I think it would be awesome to see you 3D print and make one.

[@irendysanz]

Adorable! I'd love to have one!!! How lucky he is to have this cute replica of Grogu! 😍😍😍

[@jasonfabrick9308]

Did anyone else in the intro pictures get a feeling when the camera was above the face that the Child was smiling? I can just picture when Adam stood the Child on his work table and then on the base that the Child wanted to explore and get into everything in Adams workshop. Adam did mention in a video remembering Grant Imahara that Grant had worked on the Child. I wonder what Grants contribution was? Adam should hide a picture or tribute in the floating carrier of Grant when he makes it.

[@bhronnyhill9354]

Grant made his OWN animatronic puppet of the Child, but he didn't work on the original for the show.

"When the folks at Legacy do a casting like this they do it naked...." That must make for some rather awkward moments at their Christmas parties.

[@BSGNUT]

@Adam Savage, I cannot WAIT to get mine in the mail. Now, there is no better person than you to trust their opinions on this piece. Just you unboxing and reviewing the little green adorableness gives me the greatest confidence that we will be receiving a pretty magnificent statue. And, of course thanks to Legacy Effects and Sideshow Collectibles for producing the asset to live in our homes.

[@BSGNUT]

Also, what I love about the very first thing you point out, Adam, is the material of the skin and how it has a translucency to it. That was the one main concern I had if that was going to translate from Legacy's prototype to the final product. I have been mentioning to all my friends who also have this pre-ordered, hoping they use the right material to achieve that "sub-surface scattering" effect in the final product. And, I'm happy that they did! I'm happy that the piece is not just a solid piece of ABS or PVC (or even polystone). But, in fact, the material seems to be a nice composite. While it is not exactly the same as we see in the prototype, it is really darn close. The prototype's skin material seems to have a bit more of the "wet" amphibious look/feel. But, I know I will still be very happy with this piece. Thank you for sharing with us.

[@chuckthetrooper]

Don’t forget that Adam and the tested crew already had a behind the scenes look at the prototype, it makes perfect sense that they would also get one of the first production pieces a little ahead of the public

[@Bad_Wolf_Media]

The release date is set by marketing. I absolutely guarantee Adam (and likely numerous others) have had this in hand for weeks already. This video you're watching here is fully shot and produced, not something they would do if it arrived on their doorsteps yesterday or today. The video itself has probably also been ready for days or weeks, but they have an embargo, just like movie reviews. To complain about them having it before you is the equivalent of complaining that someone like Ebert and Siskel got to see movies weeks in advance. That's just the way it works.

The opening night shot by 'fire light' showed how good this looks on camera. Amazing work.

[@lujho]

Regarding his ears, on the show the inside of his ears just look green when he’s in normal indoor or dim lighting. You can only see the pink in them when he’s lit from behind. It’s a very convincing effect. If I had to guess, the ears and possibly the whole head are moulded in pink silicone then painted green over that.

[@YallMFsNeedJesus]

For the actual puppet, you’re half right. The ears have pink sandwiched inside the green outer layer. Veins and capillaries are painted on the inside of the ear and then are buried in paint tinted the skin green. Then painted topically so you only see the warm undertones when back lit🙌

[@devildoll1678]

That's pretty impressive. I've watched both seasons of the show multiple times and it looks like Grogu wears a onesie style outfit. It really shows when he's walking down the Razor Crest ramp.
