Here's the pose I chose for Uncle Palpy, complete with a little blacklight effect on the force lightning.

Looking forward to setting these up later today.

Best hood futz so far

2nd photo really shows how good the sculpt likeness is.

What do you think of the eyes, now that you have him in hand? Still disappointing?

I’m still waiting on my deluxe from sideshow... what with their random priority shipping and all

It's actually pretty easy to get him looking right and proper.

Ive been scrolling through some back posts and not finding this answer, but how does the throne measure up to the old SS? accuracy wise, weight, detail etc

HT throne is MUCH more accurate than the SSC throne, except: base part (SSC sculpt more accurate,) throne height off the floor (HT is slightly too low, even though people want to lower it for the feet issue,) and color (SSC's more silvery finish is more accurate than HT's black with hint of silver.)

The SSC throne's a bit heavier but not by a huge amount.

Most noticeable improvement HT vs SSC is the "roof" is correctly proportioned and HT throne is like a third deeper than the SSC. The light-up feature is gorgeous (and quite easily switched too) - possibly one of the best I've seen.

All that being said, I placed the HT Palps on my SSC throne and for some reason (other than lights) the SSC still looked fine, so people shouldn't feel compelled to get it IMO. The more silvery color of the SSC throne works much better for display purposes than the darker HT throne too. I think it just comes down to the fact that the throne really isn't one of the "biggie" iconic/cool SW designs (unlike say the probot as I mentioned earlier) and the SSC throne, despite inaccuracies, looks fine.

Throne futz looking damn good sir

 

[GodParticle]

After seeing what's underneath the outer robe, the thought of palpatine going around murdering people in his bath robe seems hilarious

See.....as I said, proper futzing (meaning not just taking it out of the box and sitting him in the chair) and you get a really good look....

Nice job Wor.


Sent from the inside of a giant slug in outer space.....

I have to give credit, I think I stole the hood futz from Chakaman's picture.

That’s some fine futzing.

WOW! Thank you to all.

I really wasn't sure about the pose, for some reason I had a hell of a time trying to get a few pictures of him that didn't go fuzzy or look awkward. But Emperor in the throne is a real eye-catcher. Creates genuine presence.


I switched out the 'hand pose' (2nd pic below) but never got a satisfactory shot before I lost the light, though the more harsh shadows on the face the better that sick grin is.

What do you think of the eyes, now that you have him in hand? Still disappointing?

I do wish they were more yellow than mustard so they would pop more, especially under the throne light (which is awesome). But overall, he's still a great little figure and far-and-away the best representation of the Emperor in 1/6th ever.
