Hot Toys ROTJ Emperor Palpatine

[Hoody999]

Nah they will do Palpatine 2.0 with a neutral face for the upcoming movie watch lolol

Or an evil snarl which many also wanted for this version. Or both neutral+snarl sculpts to push owners of current Palps to get V2.0.

Who knows ??

2.0 version of a character in Sequels? Obviously not a rational, and wise business move.

2.0 version definitely should have been ROTS Sidious just food for thought

Seeing that sculpt makes me wish we would've gotten a sullen looking Sheev instead.

Disney used a toy for the face of a key character on a movie poster for an upcoming movie? That is so weird and yet so lazy.

I'd be surprised if this doesn't get reported in the wider media.

The way these moron treated OT characters were just utterly disgraceful.

Star Wars is all about the Toys

At least this means your HT Emperor figure is 'poster accurate' now.

I can't believe they've done this but at the same time, I'm not surprised. The posters aren't designed by fans.
The designer probably found an image of the figure and thought it was Ian McDiarmid in costume.

It's getting picked up in a lot of places: https://screenrant.com/star-wars-9-palpatine-poster-toy-movie-cartoon/

I would like to know what photographer Jingobell thinks of it.

Due to the controversy of them using a Hot Toys Emperor on the official poster they've released a new one with Force Ghost Luke

 

[Hoody999]

Haha. I'm sure there must be some Phototshop wizard that could blend that in instead of Palps.

You mean there's no wizardry in what I achieved there?

Hahaha. Well let's just call it "abstract"

 

[CrankbaitJon]

I find it kind of cool that they use the Hot Toys figure for the movie poster and I got the figure at home as well.

agreed. Sadly. With the possible exception of Leia.

That's pretty embarrassing for an official poster...Disney must have clowns working for them...

 

[matrix69]

They should have hired the guy who made this!...farrrrr nicer

Yeah, the overly cartoony Emperor is a weird choice. Take him out and the poster is beautiful

That's perfect! For a company with multi-billions, and money to do whatever they want, they do some clownish things at time.

I like the OT style/vibe but...

"He's right behind you! No, RIGHT behind you - can't you hear his lightsaber?!"

And Finn and Poe look like they're waiting for a bus.

Isn?t that the battlefront Emperor? Kinda the same thing as using the toy.

I?ve seen several pictures posted by different people that use the HT figure instead of the real actor or movie stills. HT Thanos got thrown in quite a bit. It?s hilarious when it happens and when I can spot it but normies can?t.
