Agreed - only criticism I can say. Other than that, it's looking like a phenomenal release!
They look too brownish, needs to be more yellow.

I don’t think it looks anything like the Emperor. Total ball drop by HT again far as I’m concerned ....
Is there an official explanation for the slug? I always wondered about that as a kid, but have never read or heard what happened. Through the whole "Making of" book, it never mentions what happened.Funny thing, as I said before they changed the makeup several times, and his eye were not all that yellow for some scenes. Oddly enough the scene we all remember best is the one where he reveals the plot....and they lit him very special for that scene to bring out the eyes.....and they also screwed up, which created the infamous “slugs”

From my understanding he was light to bring out his eyes/face, but in doing so obvious light was also cast in the recesses of the hood- making the effect look odd. So they simply rotocast some dark smudges to frame his fave and hide the extra light.

After watching the videos on YouTube...this really is a nice looking figure.
I’m debating now whether to upgrade to the deluxe. The Emperor would stand out sitting on his throne.

Thanks, that makes sense. I would have thought Lucas would have reshot that scene to fix it, but I know he was dealing with personal problems at the time.

I can't find those jingobell photos on fb. Just the 1 image.
For FastStreets, since you have the figure. Are the grayish tone of JingoBell's shots reflective of the Emperor's skin tone in hand? Or is it more white pasty like we've seen in all the other shots so far?
Emperor has devolved.
As I always said, force lightning looks dumb on a 1/6 figure. The rest looks great though.

Agreed. What the figure has seems like a reasonable compromise to me.
I was hoping to be able to use those, but yeah without the photoshopped effects of the proto pics they just don't look that great at all. And they'll probably go straight into my parts bin alongside the Ghostbusters proton beam and Spideys webs.
