"Am I even allowed to show that?" Adam, it's a model of a fictional character. Yes, I realize there are some who would kick up a fuss, but they need to get a dose of reality. It's a model, not a real child.
@John Lawson The Mandalorian is set 5 years after Return Of The Jedi. In ROTJ Yoda says "When 900 years old you reach, look as good you will not" so we think Yoda was 900 when he died 5 years before The Mandalorian is set. The Child (the correct name, as he is not Yoda, and Yoda is not the species name) is said to be about 50 years old, a baby in his species time frame.

Mando: Hey kid, eat your vegetables. Child: *makes adorable sound in the negative* Mando: If you don't eat your vegetables the Adam Savage will come get you. Child: *starts eating veggies*
What I noticed was the calm with which he handled the sawing. Even though he's only got one shot, he still went slow and steady. That takes a lot of practice and patience
@@frojoe2004 that is besides the point, so WHAT if him simply touching it makes it more collectable, he cut it's limbs off with glee and malice but also precision and intent of a professional artist and prop maker
This is what I admire about Adam and his sheer 'Just Go For It' attitude. It's not easy to tear apart something so dear even to make improvements to them. Nothing but respect for this man.
I don't feel like I could do something this severe unless I had a back up. On the other hand, he could probably build a new body from scratch if he wanted to.
Adam at the beginning of the video: I'm just gonna give his cloak a little paint job.. Adam at the end of the video: .... and that's how you successfully dismember The Child :)
Adam, I would like to applaud you for your recent extra emphasis on teaching to varietal skill sets. From the high precision specialty machining on The Samaritan to the $5 scrap wood sword, your enthusiasm for engendering joy in learning and making is infused in every project, regardless of skill level. Making is an ever evolving amoeboid of learning and teaching that see-saw in constant flux. It's great to see you / Tested sharing entry level projects, delving into unfamiliar territory with new tools and techniques, while also appealing to the seasoned maker crowd by showing off high fidelity builds!
Me : Oh Sideshow has done it again. Wish I could afford this expensive beautiful creation Adam: look at this beautiful expensive creation...let's cut it up...
The pandemic has changed the way a lot of us live and work, but I have to admit... I'm enjoying the way Adam and his Tested team have handled it. The number of videos have increased and that's all well and good, but I think my favorite thing about the videos is that they're not big productions. Simple is often better. Adam has a unique way of keeping even simple content very interesting. It's "refreshing". Thank you Adam (and team).
@@katcoe1079 Little they know that these very same mods, made by someone as talented and well known as Adam Savage, might actually quadruple the price this piece will have in a few decades. Like, you can auction a limited edition The Child for 1k dollars, but a *one-of-a-kind* limited edition The Child customized by Adam Savage?
I mean, in most nerds defense you can't afford something as expensive as this and 'experiment' with it. Adam at least has the advantage of being a millionaire.
Adam I don’t know if you will see this but I love these videos. It gives me the same feeling I get sitting in my dads workshop talking about his projects or chatting with my art teacher. It’s very calming and it makes me happy, so thanks 😊
Yeah agreed, I got a £25 quid one and it's stunning but needs better paint and possibly hair, wanna have a go but would love to follow someone that knows what they're doing
Adam: "It's all with the aim to show off it's beauty even more." Also Adam: "Yeah, so they had this big chunk of glue in here and they just went 'prrrrrrrt' like that, to get that in."
When I started my career as an airframe and powerplant technician (airplane mechanic) I always took note of what tools I was borrowing most and which ones did the best job. As I went along and built up my collection, I would buy those tools that made my job easier. Tools such as the Gearwrench sold by Sears were an absolute joy to use.
If the forearms were popped on, they can be popped off. For future projects, I would recommend lightly heating the arm with boiling water or a heat gun on low. This works great on lots of hard plastic - especially things like action figures. The plastic become pliable while hot, and then reforms when it cools. Just a tip for you to keep in the toolbox for any future projects that may be similar. Great build, Adam!
@@AvengerDK Oh snap! Just watched the trailers again. Gotcha, yeah I guess I'll try and find a place to watch them online. Any suggestions as far as a video platform?
I used to sneak on the base as a kid to see you in Alameda during Mythbusters . When I heard explosions that was the signal to find y'all and observe freaking cool science.... I like science alot I wished I could have helped when I saw y'all. I lived at the Coast Guard housing 98" to 2009. Stay cool Mr. Savage
So every time I saw "dressing & undressing prohibited" sign in the background my mind went to the "dad jokes" of "Why can't I put dressing on my salad?" & "How do you take dressing off a salad once it is on there?"
Me too. When he pulled out the big butcher knife and I heard him sawing and we didn't see anything, I fell out laughing. This is the most 2020 video I have seen this year! Let's take something innocent and make it borderline torture porn! 😂😂
Been using the HP-CR for 8 years now. A great allrounder which I use proboably 98% of the time Never had to replace a thing yet. Only downside is the fiddly nozzle I think. Cool to hear the pros are using it :)
It's so nice to see how much Adam admires and appreciates the work of Sideshow. He repeats it so often and you can feel the hesitation whether he should really do it. But Adam wouldn't be Adam if he wasn't curious about how something works and what can be improved. Stay as you are Adam!
This came to mind when watching :D Sandurz: Sir, you’re needed on the bridge. Dark Helmet: Knock, next time! Knock! Did you see anything? Sandurz: No sir. I didn’t see you playing with your dolls again.
I love this! The mobility in the arms does bring out some of Baby Yoda's personality! Love the weathering of the cloak and bringing the rosiness in the cheeks down, it makes him look so much greater. 'Cause the amount of rosiness did bother me a little. But now, it's on point! Great, great job, I loved to watch the process!
I have several high end Iwata's but also own 3 Revolutions . The Revolution is an AWESOME gun , never fails , easy to clean and has become my main go to gun. You can't beat it.
I love that you did this! I preordered one of these and really want to add hip joints so the child can sit down. Or to make a soft body I can attach the head and limbs to. I probably won’t but I’m glad I’m not the only one that’s thought about it!
The mod came out pretty awesome... I love to watch your builds. Thanks for letting us watch you work. I want to get in to doing doll and figure mods too, so it's good to be able to watch the best. 😀
On your recommendation I bought the same ring bending pliers that you just used. Also, I am always pleased when I see someone use Golden brand paints. The company is part of the Central New York economy and their plant is not too far from where I live. I have had the pleasure of a plant tour and their facilities are impressive.

The body horror music during any modifications was hilarious- I have this same figure and am very tempted to make the same mods. Well done!
Wow! cool to see you here Brookes!
I love that they had the music fade in with the start up of the bandsaw.
do it.!
Reminds me of sid from toy story 🤣🤣
But that music is actually from the show.
Mando: Hey kid, eat your vegetables.
Child: *makes adorable sound in the negative*
Mando: If you don't eat your vegetables the Adam Savage will come get you.
Child: *starts eating veggies*
Sideshow Collectibles Managing Director: Hey guys, quick! It's starting! The Adam Savage showcase to our Baby Y............. OH MY GOD!!!!
"Dressing or undressing prohibited"
*Proceeds to undress and dismember the Child*
I feel like the bottom part should be really muddy, given that he trawls it everywhere he goes.
@Mr. Meme guy V27 well that's also kinda what i'm saying. Doubt mando is doing any laundry ahah
I love how this went from "lets give the cloak a light paintjob" to "lets give this doll life by cutting it open and sticking bones inside it."
"I believe I can take the child apart." is a sentence I never thought Adam would say.
Out of context it sounds like a line from Hellraiser or something.
Anakin would be very proud
Cloak most likely needs to be modified again at this point to have a blue cookie vomit stain.
now it's more of a onsie than a cloak! you can actually see the child's legs and stuff!
Adam dressing the unclothed Child with a shop rag is the most wholesome thing ever
That really was heartwarming. :-)
He looked like he'd just got out the bath and had a towel wrapped around him
Just before he slices the Child-up with a bandsaw!
Immediately liked the video just for that moment
He so tenderly covers The Child in a shop rag, a clean shop rag. Then dismembers him. SO WRONG. SO VERY VERY WRONG.
I love the jump from I'm using this soft cloth to protect the nice paint to let me just run him right through the bandsaw!
Adam: Priceless, limited edition, highly sought after, expensive collectable
Lets slice this bad boy up
That's exactly what I was thinking: "You realize you're chopping up an almost $400 collectable... that people wait on for months!!" 😯😲😥😢🤨
What I noticed was the calm with which he handled the sawing. Even though he's only got one shot, he still went slow and steady. That takes a lot of practice and patience
@@cmallin1846 And Adams renown is great enough to make this an even more valuable and priceless collectable
@@frojoe2004 that is besides the point, so WHAT if him simply touching it makes it more collectable, he cut it's limbs off with glee and malice but also precision and intent of a professional artist and prop maker
I feel like he improved it, his modifications are invisible

Savage by name, savage by nature.
While Adam dismembered the Child, I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of Mandalorian fans voices suddenly cried out in terror...
Adam is on the slippery slope that leads to Sid Phillips, in "Toy Story"
Adam covering the child with some rag and pretending is a hospital gown melted my heart 🥰
So cute
Seeing the coat on it's own on the table made me realize how much of the character's cuteness comes from it, not just it's face.
The importance of costume to a character. Even a puppet one.
Yeah the oversized coat look works so well
I feel like Mando's gonna burst into the cave at any moment to stop what's going on
And we would be watching Adam try to make a better Mandalorian! XD
This is what I admire about Adam and his sheer 'Just Go For It' attitude. It's not easy to tear apart something so dear even to make improvements to them.
Nothing but respect for this man.
I mean it helps when you get it for free and your benefiting by making content while doing it.
I don't feel like I could do something this severe unless I had a back up. On the other hand, he could probably build a new body from scratch if he wanted to.
Adam at the beginning of the video: I'm just gonna give his cloak a little paint job..
Adam at the end of the video: .... and that's how you successfully dismember The Child :)
When do we get the one day resin frog egg for the child to hold?
For a moment there, I thought you were mounting him onto a Roomba! It would be very cool to have him clean the room :-).
Sideshow Collectibles: "I vould like to see ze baby."
Adam: "Uhh, it is asleep."
I lost it when you put the modesty towel on the child. Thank you for your entertainmemt.
With the cloak removed, the toy looks like a shaved Grinch and it is terrifying. lol

Me : Oh Sideshow has done it again. Wish I could afford this expensive beautiful creation
Adam: look at this beautiful expensive creation...let's cut it up...
Tbh it’s overpriced, just spend al ist the same amount of money into the hot toys version. It’s fully posable and has a lot more accessories
Gentlemen, we can rebuild him. We have the technology....
Okay, right at 4:02, the way Adam left the robe while he was getting ready to remove it, all I could see was the "flasher" gremlin!
The pandemic has changed the way a lot of us live and work, but I have to admit... I'm enjoying the way Adam and his Tested team have handled it.

There's nerds to keep their toys in boxes, on shelves, to be viewed and never touched.
And then there's Adam.
"yes great! I can just cut through half his legs and remove the back"... *People that won't even open the box* "NOOOOOO!! 🤮🤮😭😭"

Warranty is only void if the modifications are a direct cause of a specific part not working right otherwise it’s covered

Destroy the child

For a second there I was absolutely sure he was gonna paint on a belly button.
Nice! might have to pick up one of those airbrushes! looks pretty solid!

Hello there Alfonse :) Didn't expect your comment but force in me said I'm not to be surpised :)

"Am I even allowed to show that?"
*Instant thumbs up*
He got us good with the ping ball tricks😂 love how he says “I’m sorry”
I just started to notice how often Adam brushes his work table and its an amusing and endearing tick of his
"TV star caught on camera cutting child's arms off with bandsaw"
Chris Hansen, "I need you to take a seat over here, sir."
Somehow, the idea of Baby Yoda's body never really crossed my mind so this video was a bit surprising to me lmao
who knew watching a child be dismembered could be so fun and pleasing
builds an extra hanger for his new airbrush and immediately puts the airbrush on the table again. relatable as heck.
Adam Savage: Desecrating collectibles so you don't have to! Lol
Sideshow," You just voided your warranty". Adam, "Screw your warranty!"
