Very cool pic. I still have my Kenner Emperor too. Amazing how after 35 years, owning a replica of these characters is still a big deal.

great posing, irezumi!

You've got him looking the best so far, especially seated. I was beginning to fear that he would not look good on the throne.

I'm still in the camp of having him displayed standing in front of the throne, though.

How so?

Got mine yesterday right before thanksgiving! Talk about great timing!!! This is a beautiful piece and the chair is magnificent. Absolutely love it

 

[burtial]

I got mine as well, and absolutely love him! He's not perfect, but he's fabulous enough to over come any short-comings.
Here's a short review if anyone is interested-

You could literally spend hours futzing the Emperor, i have cut the little stitches holding the hood in place, this gives you more range to shape the hood.
Also when seating him, don't be scared to make him bend at the abs otherwise his head hits off top of the throne.

 

[TaliBane]

Doesn't seem like many people like this guy in the chair.

 

[irezumi]

I like him in the chair, but he's a royal pain to set up and pose seated. The base peg definitely needs shortening and the moulded cushions leave the figure sitting too high, but if you futz enough you can get it looking half decent.

Nice review and pics guys...i'll have to wait for Santa to deliver mine...

Good review Burtial and nice shots and seated posing Irezumi.

I don't have mine yet, but it's disappointing to hear that the cushions are moulded rather than softer material causing this issue. As many folks have mentioned, the throne costs as much as a 1:1 chair so it would have been good to see HT go the extra mile & use soft goods for the cushioned parts. QMX managed it with their command chair (although admittedly on a less complex shape).
I suppose it at least removes any concerns over material disintegration issue...

Did the Emperor really wear those sassy little brown boots?

Pixie boots were fashionable in the early 80's[emoji6]
