- The new season of the Mandalorian is out, and with it, the Child (AKA Baby Yoda). In this episode we open and review these figures by Hasbro and Kenner. You will also see how I got mine for free, recolored them, and added hair. If you are wanting to skip to the paint or hair application, the chapters are after each ad break. #TheMandalorian #Babyyoda #Yourgeekfix

I used some of your techniques and my child came out awesome. Thank you!!
You are Awesome! Well done!
I can send you pics of my version except I didn’t do hair since it’s for my 2 year old niece
@@PantuscoL Wow, that would be awesome! You can send it to my email you can find here czcams.com/users/YourGeekFixabout
Let me know also if it is OK to share in our community section
Just sent :)
@@PantuscoL It is posted. Thanks again for sharing it.
My mom loves Baby Yoda so much that we bought her one of these dolls for Christmas. The amount of time she spends with it confirms that she loves Baby Yoda more than her own children.
That is sad and funny!
My wife is the same way. She collects Grogus like there's no tomorrow. Meanwhile, our 16 year old and 22 year old barely ever see her. Which is probably just as well as the alternative. She made a horrible wife. She's turning out to be a horrible mother. ::shrug::
@@Eternal_Satyr this is a very strange comment to make. I feel bad for her.
Dont worry...she love her children more than grogu, but grogu is always kind, gentle and easy to handle....
I’d like to see more ‘after’ footage.
Understood
How disappointing when you stay the whole process just to barely see the final result. I learn a lot though. But I will be gratefull if you can show more angle shots of the final result.
I am thinking about it. My own facial lighting was also a problem. Too white!
i agree. yourgeekfix if you read this please add more angle shots, and left/right before and after shots
he hide the result cause its horrible he ruin his model
@@did3d523 I will have the person in possession take more.
I actually filmed all three, but the video was long and redundant. Also, it seemed like everyo ne else started doing the same videos, so I cutt it down drastically. However I did not have enough video of him to show just the one doll at the end. I may revisit and add back ijn the other dolls or get the current owner to let me get more of the animatronic.
Before anyone asks. Gold and brown paint with clear enamel is how I did the nails. I cut it out because it didn't fit in well where I had it. I also dusted the outfit with sand colored and tan chalk.
Great idea with the poly fill for fluffy hair. I'm doing the same to customise my Mattel 11" plush baby yoda. 👍🏼👽😊
Awesome!
I wish you did a side by side...I mean I have one so I just paused it to really see the difference. But doing a side by side really shows what an amazing job you did!
Thanks
Absolutely fascinating!!! What an incredible experiment and certainly got my geek fix subscription! I really enjoyed your enthusiasm and the result looked incredible. Very well done and thank you!
Wow, thank you Mike Shirley! It is nice to have someone like you in our community. Thanks for joining!
Very well done! Didn't expect it to look so much better than it was originally.
Thanks Jimi
I have been waiting for a video just like this ever since I got my own. I was literally the person who was going to slap on cotton for hair lol. Thanks for this!
Sure. You are awesome! Good luck!
Wow! So cool!!! Thanks for sharing!

Awesome! Glad to have you here.
Looks great!
Thanks Blaine
It looks sooo awesome
You are awesome Jimmy!
I will try something similar with the basic Mattel version (little beanbag) for the body parts. I am not very good with layering (this is what you do here), but I hope if I take it slow, it will turn out good. I also got a reborn cloth body which I chose to match Grogu's proportions (half legs, will attach some 3D-printed feet I modded myself) and dye to match his body color. I will also get some teddybear modular skeleton (basically ball joints) which you can fully adapt to Grogu's body. Oh, and hair, of course. I have some natural white mohair wool left which I will use. But I will use just glue to attach it, no rooting. I do not think rooting looks that great.
You can't go wrong Sandra. You will do awesome!
Very cool stuff
You are cool Kevin smith!
wow the child came back to life after the mod! execellent job!
Thanks Happy Wanderer
Well done ! Amazing job
Thanks Belgianred ranger! You are too kind.

@@YourGeekFix :)
Hey there, I was thinking about attempting this myself and following along. Is this easy to perform by an amateur and would this work by using some regular pencils?
I think so. Several people have, you can read their comments. The key is to do it a little at a time and to take your time. The ears have to be done using the oil crayons. Pensions won't work there. Normal color pencils also may not blend adequately. I did it this way rather than airbrush to make it more accessible to do.
This is a crazy coincidence, real helpful! Super big coincidence too, as I just bought one of these as a gift and wanted to make it unique.
Are you going to also be doing the 11” plush? That one has a vinyl head so you’d be able to do the hair rooting, and I’m interested in how you’d go about doing that. I wonder if you’d be able to use poly fill and a felting needle to do that with.
Thanks Robert. I initially thought of using my smallest drill bit, which is thinner than a felting needle. Maybe smaller too. The head is still pretty thick. You could push hairs at that point. If you can push, I would probably use nylon doll, or human hair that is blond. You could still mix in poly fill. The key is to start at an inch out and work your way in until it looks right. I don't know if you have access to Stan Winston school videos, they do a great tutorial on hair that is thinner than dolls. Great projects by the way. The Captain America shield looks awesome!
@@YourGeekFix Thanks for the info! Yeah had been going into some of the weirder parts of CZcams to look up Reborn baby doll hair installation. I might practice on the back of Grogu's head to get the hang of it.
And thanks! Those are years old, haha I did a stint doing prop design and fabrication in the entertainment industry before transitioning to more corporate art direction with stable work. Check out some of my stuff on the first season of Super Fan Builds!
@@trebory6 Very cool! My goal with this channel was always to have contact with others who enjoy making and prop building. Have a good one.
Thank you
Sure
I'm getting ready to destroy my grandpa's couch, gotta get that hair 😂 Thanks for the tutorial! Looks great!
Thanks. Good luck!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I can't see so well the after! 😓 But it's so beautiful!!!!
Thanks Karen
Loving all of the baby yoda content creators are doing! Wow!!! Over on our parrot channel, our male conures are happily co-parenting baby yoda... & it’s adorable! Happy Holidays from Tupeck’s flock! ❤️🎄
They chose his lightsaber. 🥰
Interesting
The video is great though I tried to paint the ears with my rembrandt pastels and it didn't work. The colors did not mix, they got dirty and the texture was of. Any advice?
If they are like mine, heating it up slightly should allow you to mix the colors a little bit better. It's hard because those ears are a fine rubber. Remember the inside of the ears is done with morave oil pastel crayon . So adding a little heat with hair dryer helps.
Great Video! Damn Man, You Look like a Young, Adventurous *"Steven King"* I'm Serious.
Thanks.... I think

It was amazing !! What glue did you use to glue the hair and how is it possible to give that shine to the skin? Please help
A close up of the glue is given as well as instructions. Gorilla glue.
@@YourGeekFix Thanks a lot. New subscriber!
@@rodrigorios1028 sure. No problem.
Hah nice credits :)
I'm glad somebody got it
Can Vallejo’s matte varnish airbrush work to seal ? and ty I appreciate your video I look forward creating mines soon 🙂
I wouldn't do it on the ears. That could stiffen up the rubber.
@@YourGeekFix ty would Alclad 2 lawyer gloss sealer work? Or what would you recommend for the ears and head
@@Anthony-he3dp Honestly, I wouldn't worry to much about the sealer. What I used is great. It does not dry things out or get hard.
@@YourGeekFix awesome ty so much I’ll go with that thanks you again 🙂
@@Anthony-he3dp good luck!
video starts at 6:59
The painting does.
Wow ! You got lucky finding him at the Dollar store . They’re hard to find . The animatronic on sells for $59 and up . The Mattel one I found $20 on Amazon . I find that he looks too lime green plus too pink . I think they should of made him the color he is on film vs the actual color he is . Some has him with so much bright pink on him he looks like he has a bad rash,lol.
I was corrected. It was family dollar, not dollar general.
I’m having some major problems with the ear color. I’m not loving how it’s turning out. It’s rather bumpy and not smooth. Do I need to use something rather than my finger to smooth out the oil pastels? Also, do I spray the ears with the matte sealer after the color is right? I just want to make sure the sealer won’t crack after time. Thanks a bunch!
Are you using the crayon type? In my climate they go on pretty smooth, but don't use to much or too thick. I also used zeis wipes. TAKE YOUR TIME! Do it in small potions.
@@YourGeekFix Thank you so much! Giving this a go tomorrow when I’m fresh. Bought the wipes. Do I use these wipes to blend all the colors together at the end, or after each single color is layered on?
@@YourGeekFix And also the oil pastels I am using are Pentel Arts. They are crayons. I think I was attempting to apply too much for sure. I wiped it off best I can. So here’s to a fresh start tomorrow!
Good luck. Try putting on one line and use the wipe to transition
Good luck
Also rub and buff I had never heard of that.... I was dry brushing it I've been missing out
Works good
What kind of paint do you use?
They are described in the video. Start there.
Hey man! First off, your video is an absolute godsend; I haven’t been able to find anyone who modified the Hasbro animatronic. Though I do have a few inquiries...
So, I don’t have any oil/pastel pencils. But I do have powder pastels sticks and watercolor pencils. I don’t know if you have used watercolor pencils before, but they work pretty well when used on top of Mister Super Clear Sealant. If you’ve used them before, what do you think? Should I just apply the pastel with a small paintbrush, or use the pencils?
On the note of sealant, I’m curious what it does to the texture of the ears? Does it still feel somewhat rubbery/fleshy after the sealant? Or is the texture completely different?
Also, how durable is it post-modifying? I’ll probably end up bringing this guy along if I cosplay Ahsoka sometime next year (because, why not) and I’d hate for the paint job to get damaged... I also have my three year old brother who loves running around the house with Grogu, and I’m wondering if the modifications could withstand that?
Finally, I’m thinking about weathering the cloak a bit... any thoughts?
Thanks again!
Don't get wrapped up into pencil type. You could use a lot of options for the color. The process still works with layers. Most color types can be blended and wiped off. This is true for the plastic. The rubber is a different story. I used oils on th4e ears because pencil will not stick or blend as well. With water color pencils, very little dampness is needed for the blending process. The clear sealer, dull, will not bother the ears or dry them out. I had the luxury of being able to test on the cheep baby Yoda first, but not necessary. The biggest thing to remember is you can always fix paint. Be most careful with the glue on the ears. It will not come off. If you take your time and keep tweaking textures and colors until you feel good, it will look awesome! You will do great Sophia! One step at a time, experiment, and have fun!
For cosplay, the animatronics' ears are fragile. He was made for kids, but I think safest to be put in one spot. I think the bigger doll may be a better one for cosplay. It is possible, ifg you make the carry bag and kept him on your chest ajd were careful, that he could survive and make it easier to walk around for long periods of time.
@@YourGeekFix Thank you so much for the advice! Can’t wait to get started!
@@sophiabills6213 good luck Sophia!
What sort of glue did you use to stick the hair on?
That was a long time ago. Now, I would use spirit gum or nimbafix
@@YourGeekFix Thanks for the reply, I'll try that!
What kind of glue for the hair??
These days I would use Nimbafix or spirit gum. Too long ago to remember what I used.
I have never done something like this so I need some help on the items I need to buy
Are those just coloured wooden pencils, what brand is that
Can you give me all the item names and their respective brands? I know this is annoying request but I really want to do it right
The pencils were from Wal-Mart. Polyfil from my couch. Also oil pastel crayons. If you watch closely can see brands. I used similar techniques in our how to upgrade figures video.
The face shading - are those oil pastel pencils?
Yes.
@@YourGeekFix thanks :) he is absolutely adorable and i love your mods!
@@nightviolet Why thank you nightviolet! I appreciate you watching and interest in our projects. Stay tuned.
The Mattel Grogu is 12cm smaller. The original Grogu (from Sideshow, not the Hot Toys Garbage!!!) is 42cm.
Ok
Best result by far on youtube. Imho you can add some more hairs and then cut it just to make them a little bit more regular! Can you add a new video with more seconds of the result? :)
I have thought about it. Have to get him back first
This was extremely hard with the plush one
Seems like it would be easier with the hard ears. Tell me about it and I will try to help.
What type of colored pencils, fabulous job!’
When I do these videos, I pick the cheapest most accessible materials. I would otherwise typically airbrush this. So, the pencils are a cheep set from Walmart. However, you could equally use any you can get. Or go with more expensive oil pastels or water color pencils. Keep in mind, for the animatronic you will need to avoid pencils on the ears. Use the crayon style or paint on the color. That will avoid the rubber from drying out. I tried to find my set to post a link, but could not find it. One step at a time, experiment, and have fun! You will do great Peggy!
@@YourGeekFix Can you explain about the ears? I planned on using makeup and color pencils but the ears are a rubber material. How you you apply such colors on the ears. I know it was in the video but I'm still figuring out how to paint the ears efficiently.
@@electric_kool-aid so, I used the oils that are like crayons and Zeiss wipes. Take your time and only put on lightly and blend using the wipes.
@@YourGeekFix And the glue used for the head? Do I need to be careful about what glue I use on the head? I have the animatronic so its more of a plastic.
@@electric_kool-aid be VERY careful. I dipped the tips of the hair. Let it sit for a minute before putting it on. It will stick better. Use very little or it will drop and be hard to remove. Spirit glue is the safest and easiest.
0:41 thumbs down to canceling the Amazon card if you’re someone already subscribed to Amazon prime.
Using their card to make purchases saves you 5% on anything you purchase in the form of points which you can redeem for cash back to either your account balance or direct cash payment into your checking account which is what I exclusively do.
Top tip: It will also give you the option of using points towards purchasing but never do that or use them in any other way than redeeming for cash as stated above.
Yeah, I have no debt and feel tguilty about encouraging people to get a credit card for a $60 toy, especially at a 26.9 percent Apr. I probably shouldn't talk negative about a group I am affiliated with.
Thanks
Amazing work ! Do you take commissions? I would gladly pay you to make my animatronic look like that! Great video 💛
This comes up a lot. I don't. At least I haven't yet. I could have made thousands with pipboy mods, and maybe someday will change my mind. I mostly do this to encourage others to get into making and modding. I used pensils so others could do the same. Practice on a different toy if you have to. Good luck Ariane! You can do it!

A combination of oil and pastel pencils.

@@YourGeekFix You are too kind. I can't draw stick figures. =D
I think you shoulds still take a stab at it.
Did I miss something or you actually didn't want to show the final result?
You missed about 40 minutes of footage. I filmed all three being modded and then cut two. By that point I was just happy to be done with editing and didn't refilm an ending to have more. I have a lot of photos and less video. It's nice to know people wanted more and weren't burnt out at the end. I may do another video with the footage if there really is interest.
@@YourGeekFix I think you could use this example for next time. I liked your work but it cannot be appreciated as it should be. I mean, 40 minutes of working process does not match, like, 5 seconds of one final result frame? Just sayin'
