SIDESHOW FOOLED ME AGAIN! Star Wars General Grievous Premium Format Figure!

I just got in the Sideshow General Grievous Premium Format Figure! This statue looks incredible but feels like a cheap toy! Is it worth buying? Not at $900!

Yeah, looks really flimsy/scary to display one "accidental" bump and that thing is toast. Hell just even when it comes time to dust... It looks awesome agreed, i wanted to get this but not for 900$ Thank you for taking the time to share this pieces all the pros and cons of it. Awesome review Jorge!

[@ocramocram1]

Sideshow needs to get out of the statue game, and become full time distributors. Unacceptable for that price.

[@genreonlinenet]

Thank you for posting this review. He is a very hard character to put together because of the fact that he just doesn’t work well when you put him together in an environment that deals with the world of physics that we live in. Basically, I kind of feel as though, he was created in a computer and can only exist in a computer as far as a replica concerned. I wish I could get the life-size bus that was released decades ago. you did a fantastic job. I would love to get one, but I am still very much torn on whether or not it’s worth the risk because it’s so fragile. Thanks again for posting your review and I hope you have a wonderful day.

[@badman7996]

Thanks for reviewing this Jorge… I was on the fence about this one. It does look cool but don’t think it’s worth all that plastic and fragility…. Not to mention the size of the box…I might just pick up the 1/10th from IS.

[@teresawright4947]

Very nice, Jorge! Looks like they would have put more into it (the plastic) for the price point. Also, I think the light sabers should have lit up. Hope you have room for this one! Love the videos, as always! Blessings!

[@marcelchenier]

Great review. The way the statue is packed communicates a LOT about how Sideshow regards their own product: poorly is an understatement. Independent creators are way ahead of what Sideshow has done with this piece & they seem to care a lot more about them, as well.

[@HyperdriveStarWars]

Thanks Marcel!

[@bluesteeltraining]

I was biting my nails through the whole assembly. A very impressive set up!

[@Jason-xb7rg]

Once someone said the arms was plastic, I passed on it and bought the new PF Vader instead. I just don’t think it should be $900. $650 tops.

[@HyperdriveStarWars]

I wish I would have seen that post lol

[@joe3019772008]

excellent review and unboxing, bro. yeah we all know the meltdown you had over the first one, ready to hurl it off the table and into a dumpster set on fire. lol. have a great week and blessings to you and your family.

[@secretmulletman7984]

Looks great would have been nice if they added light up sabers

[@LuisOrtiz-tt1uf]

Awesome Star Wars Statue Bro Jorge

[@CollectorsEnabled]

Thanks for the review man - definitely looks awesome - just need to set it and forget it!

[@reloadrian]

Great Video! ❤ I ordered it today. I'm really looking forward to it. I'm a bit afraid of the assembly. The arms are very thin. It's also plug-in and not magnetic. I hope the arms ones don't start to sag over time Greetings from Germany.

[@borgcube1of292]

Thanks for the review, I found it very helpful. I wonder if the original intent was a 4th scale figure that got modified into a statue. Wild guess aside I hope that everyone that has ordered this is happy with the end result & it stands the test of time. Cheers

[@Fr0stbit3_]

I never had an issue with the Sideshow Grievous. It’s actually my GFs favorite in my collection

[@antoine6843]

Looks badass but I don‘t line that he is like all plastic

[@obijuank6044]

Disappointed to hear about the materials used for him and the shaking is kinda strange. I’m gonna wait to see if sideshow has a sale on this bad boy this year or next year. Shirt is pretty awesome ! Great video

[@RedwihteGame]

Iron Studios, better price/satisfaction level. Nice, thorough and interesting review!

[@candymanrip]

Figure looks awesome, great review video 👍😎

[@Skyguycollectors]

Awesome unboxing and review!!! What you showed us does not warrant the price point. It looks great but that price point is scary with quality of it.

[@HyperdriveStarWars]

Thanks Sky-guy!

[@MegatronG1]

Hey man, thanks for the review. Always appreciate your videos. I got this one myself and agree while it looks great damn it's so fragile.

[@HyperdriveStarWars]

Thank you! Yea it’s freaky how fragile this one is lol

[@timo7203]

The lightsabers on these always scare me. I have Darth Vader, Malgus, Talon, Maul, Luke, and Savage Oppress. Out of all of those, only Luke and Vader have working sabers still. They get whacked when moving, or when my dumb friends don't pay attention. They get the little cracks, and then...don't work. Do you know any place we can get replacements? Etsy? 3rd Party? Etc? Thanks!

[@marker20]

There is a guy on KZbin who does lightsabers for statues and figures. Try searching for him, I forget at the moment.

[@wooldyy]

Maybe like glue it together

[@HyperdriveStarWars]

Nah it’s fine. That’s how it is. I’ve spoken to several people that own it and seen others in person. It’s just a fragile statue. I’m trying to sell it at a loss at this point lol.

[@wooldyy]

@@HyperdriveStarWars lol

[@scottmcdowell2414]

Damn, now I'm scared, I have this thing shipping to the UK soon...

[@HyperdriveStarWars]

The good thing is that they covered it up in all kinds of foam and protective wrappings. So I think it will survive the trip.

[@SpiceRunnersLounge]

Great review, seems cheaply made for the price point.

[@ehdesigns3034]

Thank you for posting this. Was debating picking this up, but ss messes up another grievous with plastic crap. Way overpriced for the quality you get

[@zyroofficial8123]

i love ur channel and i love star wars

[@SandraOrtmann1976]

Guess this is modeled after the real General Grievous. It explains why he runs away from sticky situations whenever he can. He is THAT flimsy and tends to fall apart, just like this statue.

[@sicksabrestyle4357]

What happened to Sideshow. Up til 2019 they were pumping out Star Warss Busts, Statues, 1/6 figures (yes head sculpts and fabric were great but they did obscure characters that we’ll never see again, least not from Hot Toys) and dioramas. Since, pretty much just 3 nice Mythos Statues. It’s really said. I’m sorry but I can’t even finish this video 🤧🤧

[@shanenonwolfe4109]

Hopefully one day we get a hot toys figure that blows sideshows out of the park

[@marcmohney8953]

Great review Jorge! General G. Looks great. I'm skeptical on how fragile it looks. Do you think it's worth buying? Have a blessed day!

[@HyperdriveStarWars]

Thanks for watching. If you can get it cheaper and you really want it then I would get it. Otherwise pass on it

[@starwarsaddict77]

It was scary but I love it man

[@HyperdriveStarWars]

Yea I needed to take a shower after because of all the sweat lol

[@notjohncena1169]

Damn I really wanted this. Question do you prefer this or SS Mando? I have IS Mando but I have a spot available for a 1/4th next to baby yoda. I was gonna put Moff Gideon with him & Grevious where Moff is. But not sure I want Grevious after this review. Let me know what statue you think is better since you’ve had them both in hand. Heck I could get Kara Dune next to Grogu. Sucks I really wanted a Grevious but I’m not paying $900 for this especially if their Mando is 10x better. Sad 😂 Edit… also I’m military I move a bit. I don’t think that would be good for this statue. Lol

[@chadlarkin8222]

You keeping? I had the same takeaways as you when setting up mine.

[@HyperdriveStarWars]

Honestly I would sell it but I could not pack this up the way I got it. So for now its going to remain her until I can figure it out.

[@HayesEHL]

I will be passing on this. Sideshow quality has really taken a nose dive here lately.

[@homersimpson5280]

I have bought 3 sideshow premium statues and have not had this experience. Maybe you have bad luck.

[@X93GRK]

but do you have the same?

[@sixscalemafia]

Bro lol you having bad luck with Grevious. :(

[@HyperdriveStarWars]

Yea man. Apparently he is not the character for me lol

[@sixscalemafia]

@@HyperdriveStarWars I don’t think he’s the character for anyone lol :(

[@dewbackdeliveries2504]

SIDESHOW!!!!!

[@ZeXiOn26]

$900? Try more like 1,200-1,500 in my country.

[@HyperdriveStarWars]

Yikes!

[@X93GRK]

same here, but I found it in a legit website for 750 dollars. should I buy it? I really love the looks but so dissapointed if its that bad quality......

[@anthonyrodgers5206]

For the price, definitely not feeling this piece. Seems like his design makes it really difficult to translate into a figure or statue.

[@ark7204]

$900?! it's bullcrap for that quality. Better off getting a good neopixel lightsaber for that price in my opinion..

[@HyperdriveStarWars]

Good point!

[@cjr7766]

Was this one actually yours ? Lol

[@southernmercy5962]

Ya'll are going to learn someday to stop giving Sideshow your business. The only thing they've done right in recent history is the Mythos line.

[@Iko_Iko_Statues]

This thing looks really cheap. Definitely not worth the price you paid.

[@chillwiththelil2382]

What a pile of crap ... guys, even though the OG had some problems, believe me, the quality and overall look is so much better than this. For that price, Sideshow should hang there heads in shame.

[@jrport4838]

Grevious is just not for you man 😂 just face it it’s not meant to be

[@HyperdriveStarWars]

Right! lol. New rule. NO MORE GENERAL GRIEVOUS COLLECTIBLES FOR ME lol.

[@jrport4838]

@@HyperdriveStarWars LOL great vids tho keep it up 👍🏻 😂

[@Gforceracing20]

Gaping hole? is my ex over there? 🤣

[@HyperdriveStarWars]

HAHA!

[@Sarah20901]

The only issue with this figure is that he’s Shorter than I Expected
