Yeah, great review Toys.
Even though the expression wouldn't have been my first choice, it really does look great there. Love the final pose in the video with the hand over the saber.
The two issues I have are the robe and the height of the throne (making his feet swing like a kid in an adult chair.) According to to ref pics, the HT throne already should be just a tad higher off the floor to be correct, but it needs to be lowered by a good 1/4" or so. It looks like you'd have to saw off the top of the large peg it sits on in order to get a kind of "low-rider" throne so his feet can touch the floor (or come close to it) but I feel like that's going to look weird being so low.
I think the best solution might just be to extend his legs/feet a bit (maybe by pulling the the knee joint out a bit if possible) but it might look funky. It's not a huge deal because its brown boots against a black throne, and the lower robes can hide it to some degree, but it is a bummer it turned out like that.
The robe I'm really not liking much - that big, over-sewn and layered seam running down the arms really spoils it and overall it just has a bit of a canvas bag look about it. I guess it's fine because it's black and can be hidden a bit while he's sitting, and the arms bent while standing helps, but this figure is really only a robe and a head, so it matters.
In the box art, the robe looks awesome however.
