Not imo, no. I like both versions equally for different reasons. Getting them both. Regret nothing.

You are NOT helping my will power to hold off on getting the CW version! I know when it releases and I see the blogger pics, I'm getting it.

I was hovering over the order button for the CW version when this was announced. Still a tough decision, but when I think of Sidious I think of that cackling nutsack of a face fighting yoda! PO'd!

 

[ObiGlennKenobi]

I think both versions are for me.
curious to see the neutral sculpt on this body and costume if possible.
Would love to see more iterations of Palpatine come out.

 

[Scout Trooper]

I want a full silicone Yoda from ESB.

What do you mean you pervert?

Uh, Mr. Sidious, why don't you have a seat over here....

 

[Daggoth]

This actually looks scary lol. I think it looks great for what its supposed to be. Personally i think i like the Ian mcdiramond headsculpt on the CW version more, but thats just preference, not a comment on quality

Even in 1980, I was like... that's the Emperor?

It was a girl too. Maybe George has a nude of her?

Lol

From Wikipedia:
When the Emperor first appeared in The Empire Strikes Back, he was portrayed by Marjorie Eaton under heavy makeup.[32]Chimpanzee eyes were superimposed into darkened eye sockets during post-production.[6] The character was voiced by Clive Revill.[33] The makeup was sculpted by Phil Tippett and applied by Rick Baker,[2] who initially used his own wife, Elaine, for the makeup tests.[1][34]

Lot of good people making a mess.

Ngl, want that version because he visually looks wicked, but I'd always feel dirty about it.

Nah. No point in my owning a version of the character I'd be shameful of because of the trilogy it's from. Which I pretend doesn't even exist.

The chimpanzee bit is strange

Btw this is Baker working on the makeup at ILM

 

[Wor-Gar]

So serious... working so diligently... on that stupid face.

 

[Mr. Awesome]

What neutral sculpt?

 

[Wor-Gar]

I think he means the CW sculpt on this figure.

The original Rey

This looks horrendous. Almost like one of those “unleashed” statues. Not for me I’m afraid. HT are having a bad week…. This, the commando and Mace. What is going on?

I like to pretend this fandom doesn't exist. Doesn't work.
