Wisdom you seek I sense, Yes., July 23, 2004
Durability:4.0 out of 5 stars Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars Educational:3.0 out of 5 stars
Ok Ask Yoda is not desgined to turn your little jedi into a brain surgeon but it does break up the monotony of my desk. The Old Magic 8 Ball of yesterday has been updated with a new Star Wars theme. This re-release of Ask Yoda has been given a new nicely made cloak, and detailed belt. His blue eyes appear very life-like, and comes complete with little tufts of white hiar around his soft skinned pointed ears. Simply Ask Yoda a question, and give his little hand a gentle squueze, and listen to the sage-like wisdom of the ancient Jedi Master. He says a variety of different phrases, and even has several hidden "Easter Egg" phrases that he can speak. I was told by Yoda that I had squeezed his little hand to hard, and just about fell down laughing. I'm not sure if the kids will go for this, but i think that everyone in the office will get a kick out of him. I am not sure if Frank Oz was the person behind the voice-over and to me Ask Yoda sounds more like the Yoda from the CLone Wars animated shorts. Just in case you were wondering.

Yoda, should I buy you?, November 12, 2004
Durability:3.0 out of 5 stars Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars Educational:3.0 out of 5 stars
This is what I asked Yoda when I was playing with it in the store, and he replied "Simple question you ask, yes." Therefore I had to have it.
Yoda comes in a box with the front open so you can try him out as you please at the store. I've always wanted a Magic 8-ball but never gave myself a good enough reason to buy one. When I saw Ask Yoda at the store, I had to have it because I'm a fan of Star Wars. The toy is made quite well. The rubber on his skin is great quality, and there is pretty good detail in his face. I wish his mouth would move when he spoke but it doesn't. Overall this is more than I would expect for $20 so I'm quite pleased.
The volume of the voice is pretty good for an office setting and my co-workers get a kick out of it. The only thing I dislike is that when you stop asking him questions (or stop pressing his left hand), about a minute or so later he will ask you if you're done asking questions, which might startle you if your coworker who was playing with it just left and you've gone back to concentrating on your work. I think kids would have fun with this toy as well.

I love this thing!, December 21, 2004
Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars Educational:5.0 out of 5 stars
From the first time I watched Star Wars Episode V, and saw Yoda, everybody else in the theatre thought he was a stupid little green alien, BUT I KNEW! Yoda is the wisest of all the Jedi Masters, and this toy is so cool! So far, he's helped me find $20 on the street, avoid a party where everybody was caught drinking, and get me a girlfriend. It worked for me, it'll work for you, too!
