Hot Toys ROTJ Emperor Palpatine

[Wor-Gar]

Indeed, just like Darth Vader from the OT is not Anakin Skywalker from the PT.

Yes!!!

 

[FlyAndFight]

And the final Truth: The Force from the OT is NOT the force from the PT!

(Not sure what it is in the ST yet...)

Well said and may the medichlorians be with you!

HT are on a release run. Hope this gets a release date soon. But realistically I think it'll be next year after TLJ and who knows maybe even after solo

Anakin and Luke have already gone up for order and are expected Q3 2018, at that schedule I don’t see the Emperor being any time sooner than 2019.

It is definitely starting to look that way

Yeah if it were coming in 2018, he'd have gone up for order by now. This is good for me, as I can space out the orders. It must be the throne that is slowing them down. I wonder if he will only be available with the throne. Prob not as it would irritate a lot of people.

I really just want to see some close ups of the sculpt. Perhaps they're still tweaking it after less than stellar reception (on here). I have a feeling they read these threads lol.

Yeah, perhaps I wasn't specific enough. I meant a pre-order announcement as far as confirmation that they are making him with proper proto pictures, price and a release date. The actual release date, as with most others, will clearly be a year after pre-order date going by pretty much all other releases at the moment. :-(

Yeah, I don't see him being only available if you get the throne as well. I'm sure there's plenty of folks who would want to have him simply standing with his cane or shooting Force Lightning.

To me that'd be akin to QMx trying to peddle TOS Captain Kirk only with the Captain's chair.

From the newest Hot Toys catalog. Sorry for the smartphone pic. Didn't have a chance to scan it.

Awesome. Thanks DJBoogaloo. What other figures were shown in the catalogue ? You could start a new thread and post pics of every page in it ! That would be legendary !!

 

[DjBoogaloo]

This was one of the only SW figures not shown today at the Hot Toys Tokyo Star Wars event. The others in the catalog, with the exception of the Royal Guard and Jedi Luke, I got on video and posted the links in the Vader ESB thread.

 

[Bo Shrek]

There it is..... COMING SOON

 

[Cap'n Cook]

Looks bad.

 

[Hoody999]

Yes. Wonder if by year end ?? I hope so.

 

[jkno]

Not too impressed by this HT Emperor.

 

[Rambler]

Not a fan of the sculpt with the smile....I don't know. Was hoping for a more serious sculpt. And now that EF said Ed Harris, that's all i see.

 

[FlyAndFight]

We'll have to do the same thing that we did with Hot Toy's Ben Kenobi.

Pull the hood down so that most of the face is in shadow and it will look better...

 

[KerotanFrog]

Idk I like it. He looks like he did when Vader is whooping Luke.
