I am a strictly movie guy so I passed on Clone Wars and glad I waited for this. Hoping we get a new Anakin now....

Next to Anakin and Obi-Wan, Palpatine is my favorite PT character. I'll get any version made of him and this was an easy 6 am preorder. I've wanted this figure for so long and it just came out of nowhere. I hope we get a Chancellor Palpatine next so I can retire my SS versions.
I also have the CW version on order because its from my favorite CW duel and the sculpt is amazing. Its nice that the two figures are so wildly different with sculpts and outfit. It doesn't feel like you're buying the same figure twice.

This is the Palps I want; the moment his true nature is revealed.
This one is just not doing it for me.
My allocated Star Wars space is also at max capacity so anything else I try to add to the display needs to really pop. This outfit just isn’t visually stimulating enough.
Sculpt is super detailed and sort of cool looking but it doesn't really capture Sidious from the movie that well imo. He obviously does a lot of smiling, much of it maniacal, in ROTS but something about this choice that doesn't seem to capture it.
Interesting that ROTJ Han is another one where they went with a quite unusual, quite specific expression. There was a time when HT was criticized for always going with bland/neutral expressions - those days are certainly over.

He doesn't look bloated enough. But it works.

I agree (movie guy) that’s why I’m good with my ROTJ Emperor. I just don’t see the Emperor in the ROTS version. Looks way too sinister

The more I look at it the sculpt does look a bit cartoonishly evil from some angles, but I actually kind of like it.Sculpt is super detailed and sort of cool looking but it doesn't really capture Sidious from the movie that well imo.

Not keen on this one, don’t remember him looking like that in the movie. I may try to pick up the old RotJ one if the price now drops.

Am I weird for maybe wanting the Clone Wars version over this? I've been sitting on putting in an order in for Palpatine, but now that I see this one, I feel like I the not deformed face more. Am I nuts for that?

Not imo, no. I like both versions equally for different reasons. Getting them both. Regret nothing.
Cool sculpt, though highly stylized. I think I’ll stick with my CW palps and maybe get the headsculpt down the road if it isn’t super expensive
Holding out until we get the one true Sheev
Even in 1980, I was like... that's the Emperor?
It was a girl too. Maybe George has a nude of her?

Heh, that's exactly how I felt with the Darth Vader reveal at the end of ROTJ.

His senate costume is awesome. You can hear him say 'the attempt on my life has left me scarred and deformed.'
No wonder everyone believed him. Look at that elegance. Is that Dolce?? Amazing
It's like Padme lived to be 90.
Still holding a candle for that lil' mushroom topped urchin from Mos Espa who hated sand.
