Should have him in the next couple of days...really looking forward to it now

Just need to find a spot for him and his Royal Guard

Awesome! Where did you purchase from?

I'd be careful putting "spot" in a sentence with "Royal Guard" - don't want to jinx anything.

Lol fair call...

Cool. I’ve got him pre-ordered there as well. Haven’t had an email yet. Maybe they’re working their way through the orders. Can’t be long now![emoji2]

Did you order the deluxe or the std?

 

[Sixth Scale Man]

Just the standard. I’ve got 2 guards waiting for him on a Vittsjo shelf and I think the throne would be a tad much for my display.

I only ask as the std version is still listed as a pre-order, where as the deluxe has now disappeared from the site(after going to instock I believe)....which I assume means it sold out

Very nice display and collection! Im with you - as awesome as it is, the throne is too much for my collection as well. Enjoying the hell out of my standard edition palps, such a great figure!

I personally think he looks best standing as well.

Emperor and throne arrived yesterday. Figure is gorgeous in hand and i' don't have much to complain about on that front. Throne though, it's another story. i can't really tell if that's QC related or if it suffered from temperature/humidity variations during transport but it definitely doesn't look like paint job is meant to look like this. Anyone throne show similar discoloration?



Also spotted a large scratch next to the batteries compartment.



This one clearly was overlooked by QC as there's nothing in the box that could have damaged the throne that way. Not something that i would normally worry about about but as i'm requesting customer assistance for the paint application i did report this issue as well.

Not sure what that crack is, but you got one of the few excellent paintjobs that includes the '***-spread' wearing on the cushions detail.

LOL.

Tee-Kay, mine doesn't have that.

HT making the figure’s butt sweat

Ah, no worries. I didn’t even notice when I checked their website! Hope you enjoy him when he arrives. [emoji106][emoji106]

Cheers! Looking forward to setting him up. I still remember the early preview shot with Howard Chan looking over some upcoming figures. I was thrilled when I saw Hoth Leia and the Emperor!

I have had my throne's lights checked by my Chinese seller, but pics I got show my cushions are ok too, fortunately.
You definitely got a defective unit. Sorry about that buddy.

I wish you well luck with your seller's customer support, Tee-Kay.

I'm sure quite a few collectors would have the skills to sell this as a rare variant on Ebay in a few years. As far as i'm concerned, i'd rather have a more common edition knowing how picky Star Wars collectors are with their purchases

LOL.

Tee-Kay, mine doesn't have that.

Thanks for the feedback

Thanks. Mostly buy from Asia myself and was very lucky in the past years not having to report any damaged item.

Luckily, i went thru a local source for this Emperor which should help a quite a bit with customer care procedure... hopefully.

Now that’s some attention to detail.

Makes we think how uncomfortable Ian must’ve been wearing the robe and heavy prosethics during filming ROTJ mostly sitting for so many scenes

But he was younger then
