1/6 Hot Toys -TMS102 - The Clone Wars: Darth Sidious

[jkno]

The face sculpt is pretty good, looks like Ian McDiarmid. But why not make the ROTS version? Or they will make the ROTS version right after this gets sold out...

They would even make the RotS version BEFORE this gets sold out.

See TDK armory and C3PO.

Amazing headsculpt and 10/10 that we're getting this but damn I think the robes look cheap.

Sculpt is by Yixie.

Might just be the paint apps that are making it look weird.

Can see a deluxe pre and post fight headsculpt when the ROTS anniversary comes round. This just serves a purpose for those that don't want to wait.

The basic and cartoony outfit paired with the super realistic sculpt just seems like an odd mix to me.

Yes I agree. The Anakin and Obi-Wan from TCW are the same. There's just something so odd about the animated versions of the costume with the realistic live action head sculpts.

In 2025 is the 20th anniversary of ROTS, maybe then they release a Episode III version.

So we get phase 1 Fox instead of phase 2 Fox and we get TCW Sidious instead of ROTS Sidious. I'm sure plenty of collectors are very happy, which is great, but for me personally I'm perplexed and annoyed.

Surely that's not it for today?

Sideshow have a livestream later for Hot Toys but I was expecting at least 6 figures.

As arguably the biggest TCW fanboy on this forum I am not happy.

At least you're getting TCW.

Hot Toys: No, but we'll give you this instead:

That's interesting. You'd also have preferred a ROTS version?
HT in danger of not pleasing very many with this decision it seems.

I really hope that's not it for today.

It's suprisingly quiet for today to be May the fourth. no sideshow events. no deals. no discount codes. not even some gimmicks on google.

ROTS Sidious - I’d be more excited to get this if they made a Savage figure too

Phase 2 Fox - Way more iconic look for him and one of the coolest clone designs, also supposed to display a Phase 1 with different armour and shade of red with my Coruscant Guards?

The robes aren't the proper color red, right?
I've been hoping for a Sideous from this era for a long time, but they still manage to cut corners and disappoint. At this point it almost seems intentional.

193 USD for HT members in HK, at least they’re not raising prices on top of phoning it in on the quality of releases.

My thoughts exactly. Been wanting a RTOJ sidious and a phase 2 Fox but got these two instead

Still though, this TCW version of palatine is hard to pass up + pretty bada** imo so I’m excited regardless. Easily one of the best episodes.

They’re not red, they’re maroon.
