Lego Ultimate Collectors Series Yoda : This 1078 piece set (Set 7194) was released late 2001 at a retail price of $99.99 and marked Yoda's first official foray into the Lego market. This great collectible was based in part on the Target Lego Yoda that was given away at Target stores several years earlier during a promotional tie-in, though the retail version contains considerably more detail. Once constructed, Yoda stands 14" tall. |

Fernandes Guitars guitar pick : Fernandes Guitars managed to secure a Star Wars license and produced several Star Wars themed guitar products in 2001, among them the Yoda pick pictured here. Unfortunately, the license applied only to Japan, making the very attractive guitars, picks, and other accessories hard to find elsewhere. |
Disney Star Wars Weekends Yoda pin : This attractive pin was issued as a Disney MGM Studios exclusive during the Star Wars Weekends events of May 2001. In commemoration of the event, its production was limited to 2001. |
Dark Horse Star Wars Infinities: A New Hope #4 : The fourth issue in this popular comic series was issued in October 2001. The Infinities series was known for its unique "alternate universe" storyline, which is why Yoda is featured prominently on the fourth ANH issue. |
Dark Horse Star Wars Tales #6 : The sixth issue of the popular comic series Star Wars Tales not only features a story with Yoda, it also features a variant Yoda photo cover. This comic was released in December 2000 and retailed for $5.99. It's notable for having one of the first officially licensed appearances by a lightsaber wielding Yoda. (Star Wars Tales 5 features Yoda's lightsaber as well.) |
Giftware International Yoda backpack : A curious looking Yoda backpack manufactured in 2000. While the tag has the familiar red and black colors of Episode I's merchandise, this item depicts Yoda as he appeared riding on Luke's back during The Empire Strikes back. Originally a European exclusive, it was later made available through The Official Fan Club. |
Hallmark ESB miniature tin lunch box : The second in Hallmark's series of mini tins, which are actually replica's of King Seeley Thermos' vintage tin lunch boxes. Available in 2000. |
Hallmark Jedi Council Keepsake ornaments : This release marks the second time Yoda has been turned into a Keepsake ornament, although this time he shares the spotight with Ki-Adi Mundi and Sasee Tiin. The three council members were sold as a set of mini keepsakes in 2000. |
Colgate kid's toothbrush : The second series of Colgate's post-Episode I toothbrushes featured molded handles instead of the traditional line drawings, making them particularly appealing not just to kids, but to collectors as well. Released in 2000. |
Lucasarts Yoda's Challenge : The second Lucasarts PC game to prominently feature Yoda (,the first was Yoda Stories). It's part of the Lucas Learning series. This one was geared towards young children, featuring several simple games and activities to both entertain and teach. Released in 1999. |
Liquid Blue Yoda shirt : Another tie-dye style t-shirt by Liquid Blue, this time focusing on Yoda. Available in adult sizes L, XL, and XXL. Made 1999. |
Liquid Blue Episode I Hero and Logo shirt : This was one of the first Episode I shirts available and had an appealing tie-dye look. Among the heroes, Yoda is pictured. 1999 Fan Club exclusive. |
Pepsi Co. holographic magnet : Another item I don't know much about. I believe this was yet another Episode I promotional item available in foreign markets. |
Pepsi Co. bottle cap toppers : I'm afraid I don't know much about these since I've only seen them in pictures. I believe they were foreign exclusives manufactured by Pepsi for Episode I's release, but it's possible someone else made them. I've seen two versions of Yoda: full body, and head only. |
Pepsi Co. inflatable Yoda can : This was a promotional item used in stores in 1999 to attract attention to Pepsi's gold Yoda can contest. When fully inflated, it stands about three feet tall. |
Pepsi Co. gold Yoda can - During Episode I theatrical release, this can was packed in select cases of Pepsi soft drinks. If you were lucky enough to find it, you would win $20! Logically it's much rarer than the other cans sold at the time. There were also Diet Pepsi, Pepsi One, and Mountain Dew gold Yoda cans. Other Yoda cans were also issued in other countries, such as these silver and green cans from the UK, and this can from Germany, but these were more common. |
Hasbro Episode I Yoda with Council Chair : This figure is actually pretty decent. It features a nice sculpt which shows off the younger Yoda nicely. Plus it has a nice paint job to boot. Note that the first Yodas shipping were missing the Episode I logo on the package. Many months later, after everyone assumed this wouldn't be corrected, it was. Variations : Actually a few. Corrected packaging : like I mentioned this is the same figure but with the Episode I logo above it. This one is harder to find since complete cases of Yoda shipped with the error, but this was not the case with the corrected one, which shipped one per case. Foreign two pack : Yoda shipped in some foreign countries packaged not with a commtech chip, but with a battle droid. |
Applause Yoda Treasure Keeper : A little plastic item similar to a coin purse. Not very hard to find. Released in 1999. |
Applause FAO Schwarts 2' Jumbo Yoda plush : This huge Yoda plush toy was produced in 1999, supposedly as an FAO exclusive. It was quite limited and sold out quickly there, but was actually later available from QVC. Very nice if you could get it, and not too expensive at $100. |
Applause Yoda puppet : While marketed as an Episode I toy, this really depicts the classic Yoda. For those who can't have a Lifesize Yoda, this is the next best thing. Stuff him up, and he stands at a respectable 12 inches tall. |
