No moving eyes just like the Mace sculpt. HT being lazy all over again. Such a shame another fail. Easy pass…









Jk - figure looks amazing! Still passing as I never really cared about Kit Fisto even on TCW but happy for those that want him. He’ll definitely stand out on the shelf
 
I've read quite a few comments in this forum about Hot Toys collectible figures these days. I always have to realize that it's a matter of taste when it comes to each individual collectible figure. As a collector, given the prices, you can of course expect a certain level of quality and reality from the collectible figure. Is there a perfect collectible figure? I don't think it's a matter of opinion or taste. Be that as it may, I'm not a Star Wars fan and I think Darth Sidious, for example, is awesome!!! Is he perfect? No, probably not. Nevertheless, I'm looking forward to welcoming Darth Sidious with Darth Maul 2.0 to my collection of villains soon.

I think it’s very simple. Hot Toys should be consistent across the board and make their figures as screen accurate/close to the source material as much as possible. Darth Maul 2.0 and Kit Fisto are recent prototype examples that are basically great and really screen accurate. Unfortunately, ROTS Darth Sidious objectively isn't. In terms of final portraits, there is a vast disparity between the recent Shuri, NWH Peter (Final Swing) to the Mace Windu portrait.

You also say you’re not a Star Wars fan, so perhaps that’s why you don’t really see what’s off about the ROTS Darth Sidious? Regardless, all of this could be avoided if Hot Toys simply went all out with all their figures which imo, I think they’re more than capable.

I already have the comparison between the film and Darth Sidious from Hot Toys. Yes, sorry, I'm not a Star Wars fan and so I probably have a different view of this 1/6 scale character from Hot Toys. Darth Sidious is he Perfect - No! Is the film implemented accurately? No, probably not, although I saw the film recently. Now to the crucial question: Despite the shortcomings and the certainly right criticism of Darth Sidious, do I still think it's good? Yes! It's just a matter of taste. I still understand your displeasure! Otherwise, Darth Maul 2.0 looks really damn good.
 
...Well, did not see this one coming.

Pondering a PO for this guy, but if there is anyone worthy of a spot in my Detolf besides big names, it's the guy who survived the longest against Palpatine besides Mace. Always liked his design.
