Great pics! Of all the poses I've seen so far, I think him holding the lightsaber is definitely my favorite.

 

[Cicada17]

Great seated pose, Irezumi!

Either the chair is way to big or he's too small. What the hell.

Fanart but looks better proportioned:

I am sure it'll be better in hand but ugh, I can't take the feet dangling. I guess I'll have him closer to the edge.

Hot Toys did outstanding work with this release.

Haha I ordered day one from sideshow. I’ve got nothing either. Patience man

Ha, well at least I'm not the only one. Yeah, kinda glad it hasn't charged since I just scored the Craftone Shocking Guy (Jack Torrance) from China for $109.99.

The last time i ever adjusted my order with SS which was Sith Ani on July, changed from Flex to full payment and next two weeks it was shipped to me =]] while others need to wait very long.

Yeah..it's a pretty random indeed. Seems like the ones I'm super excited about (like the Threezero Leatherface also) always take longer for me to receive than the "eh, I don't mind the extra wait" figures.

This looks great with the light on. Quick shot with no flash or lights.

The lighting looks cool. Also love the poses on Luke and Vader. Did you use reference?

Cheers for the compliments. I don’t use any reference when posing my figures. I tend to use the HT official images for “playing” with the figure then freestyle after that. The Royal guards will be added in 3 weeks time...one at each end.

My deluxe arrives Friday, can’t wait!!! I can’t imagine getting him without the throne! I understand some people have issues with it, but I think ordering him without the throne will be a regrettable decision down the line.

I guess I'll just have to wait and see.

It cannot be understated how important futzing AND lighting will be with this one. I think its a great looking release from what I see, but this will be all about the pose.

Remember, the infamous “slugs” visible on the original film was due to the special lighting needed to make the Emperor look the way thy wanted him to.

We are used to seeing him lit unnaturally, he was being lit from inside the hood at times, and intentionally shadowed other times...

Its going to be super hard, even for the pickiest of posers (me included) to replicate that look.

Somebody said lit from inside?
