For those still waiting on the emperor, i watched the few reviews on youtube and although they are well-reviewed nothing will give you the full aspects of this-this figure looks in hand, lighting and screen color makes a huge impact on what you may feel about th equality of the figure, i think next to tarkin he is upthere with one of their best star wars sculpts, he even has that weird low hunch if posed properly that th emepror has and he sits just fine in his throne without his feet dangling, just like any figure it takes a bit of futzing. not much, i have palps, sitting in throne with both guards behind him and its fits nicely in the detolf, a tight fit but doesnt effect the look. this is one of the figures that will be well worth the wait, latley ive been ordering my figs from HK, becuase of the high shipping amounts from sideshow, i used $50 rewards points recenlty at sideshow on another fig and it pretty much just offset the shipping, i pay between $23 and $28 a fig for shipping to east coast which also takes about 7 business days i pay $23 from HK and have it in 3business days give or take a day. but my point is anyone a fan of the OT will love this figure he has quit a prescence on the shelf and on display and looks amazing! they out did themsleves
