Update: S.H.Figuarts Yoda Not Coming Soon

SHF_yoda

BANDAI’s S.H.Figuarts line looks to be breaking into the Star Wars universe with this teaser on Tamashii Nations’ blog. For the uninitiated, S.H.Figuarts produce a line of figures that are intended to replicate, with precision, the natural movements of the human body. It will be interesting to see their approach with Yoda’s species.

Thanks to Geof from the SWActionNews Facebook page for the tip.
