If you look up vaporware in the dictionary, it says, "See EFx".

Is EFX or Garner Holt Productions making these? From the Tested video it seems like more of the latter.

 

[James Kenobi 1138]

It sounded to me like GHP is making them, Efx is selling them, similar to how Sideshow sells Hottoys but Sideshow doesn’t make Hottoys.

Still waiting to see the Porg maquette announced in 2018….

Or the:

Y Wing,

Legend Stormtrooper Helmet,

Legend Stormtrooper Complete Armor,

Legend Boba Fett Helmet,

and of course all those paid for Biker Scout Helmets with Scout Blasters.

Just off the top of my head.

It's funny because Garner does incredible work. My boss worked on the Abe Lincon animatronic bust and that thing is insanely well made. It's surprising that Garner would mess up the cheeks and eyelids this much, but I'm hoping they're going to fix it since this must be a prototype. Otherwise, the actuation feels smooth and the skin looks great!


Well it's most likely platinum silicone skins, so I imagine quite a while if it's well cared for

I work at Garner Holt Productions, the company that developed this Grogu figure. Is your boss Mike Ziegler, by any chance?

Yeah, it's a platinum silicone skin.

Exactly

Exactly

Or this one, never gets old, except for the customers who pre-ordered stuff from EFX:

I always chuckle at these, then realize how many people are out thousands of dollars..

I seriously feel for the collectors who have invested their money and have been delivered zero..

He is! Ziggy is great. I'm currently interning in the mechanical department at Animax Designs under him

Well, my understanding is that Garner Holt Productions are making these and they got access to original molds from Legends.
They are very high end (expensive) and made-to-order in an extremely limited number.
Because of the pram, they have 15 servos inside for the animation and can make them with up to 25 servos and have a trick (looks like with magnets) so Grogu can pass a Razor Crest shift knob from hand to hand.
I have also head that it really looks amazing in person but the price puts it into a very elite category.

Yeah, I liked Ziggy a lot, and was sad when he left. I'm Josh, the main traditional sculptor at GHP, but he'd probably remember me as the guy programming the Kuka milling robot. Anyway, that's very cool; I'm sure you'll work on some cool projects and learn a lot with him.

How is that Anovos got the license taken from them but Efx doesn't? Anovos delivered more stuff to more people than Efx could ever dream of, and yeah, Anovos did a really really bad job. How does the worse guy keep the license and stay in business?

 

[Vaderman]

How does this company stay in business when they have stolen so much money from their customers?

By continuing to pay their licensing fees.

Rumoured to be $100000. Lol. Who in their right mind would buy it. Not to mention things like this will require maintenance and the fact it’s silicone/rubber being it won’t last forever. I’m more than happy with my sideshow.

As a side note to EFX…”Where’s all the awesome s$&t that Gino worked on”. Thats all I’m interested in. Where’s the ANH stormtrooper Hero suit and Hero Helmet.Not to mention the Scout Legend that people paid for years ago. Stop f$&king around, It’s bulls$&t. Showing s$&t that won’t be released or people won’t buy anyways is narcissistic. Pricks.

Those big eyes make Grogu look like he was visiting the proctologist.
