Sideshow’s life-size collectible of The Child recreates Grogu’s appearance from The Mandalorian. Our original review praised the face, fine hair and fabric outfit. This video accompanies that review of the production collectible.
Face, Hair and Robe
The sculpt looks upward, with wrinkles around the cheeks and ears. Soft red tones in the green skin and glossy brown eyes were highlights of the review, along with the fine gray hair.
The head moves slightly left and right, while the body, arms and legs are fixed. The fabric robe can be adjusted around that sculpt.
Near the end, Sideshow’s production piece appears on the left beside convention footage of the Hot Toys version on the right. This short comparison concentrates on the portraits. It lets you compare the face shapes and hair while keeping clear which version is shown on each side.
The Razor Crest Control Knob
The silver control knob attaches magnetically to the hand. The set also includes a display base with a peg that fits into one foot.
Our reviewer liked the finished piece’s expression and paint. This is a display collectible with limited head movement, so it offers a different experience from a fully articulated Grogu figure.
What the Close-Ups Reveal
The written review describes freckles, wrinkles and a reddish finish inside the ears, along with glossy eyes and yellowed fingernails. These small paint choices keep the face and hands from looking flat beside the textured robe. Grogu’s expression also points upward, so the angle from which you view him changes the presentation considerably. A very high shelf can hide the face that is the main reason to choose this piece. The packaging includes character artwork, an assembly guide and a letter; they are part of the original presentation if you are checking a complete boxed example.
Under the Robe and Around the Base
The outfit section opens the front fastener and zipper to show the body underneath. It is a smooth sculpted body, with fully detailed feet below the robe. The camera then returns to the outfit’s wire-supported edge and the fabric panel behind the neck. These are clothing adjustments; they do not add movement to the fixed arms or legs.
The control knob receives its own close-up, showing blue and silver paint. The demonstration moves the sleeve out of the way so the knob can meet the magnet at the right hand without bending the fingers. Finally, the base is turned over to show its printed underside and four rubber pads, before returning to the locating peg that steadies the figure.
