Hot Toys ROTJ Emperor Palpatine

[irezumi]

Hope they make a Dooku this year. A HT Christopher Lee will be amazing.

I'm sure when Dooku is made the critics will be referring the likeness to Donald Sutherland

Sorry, I just don't see it.

I do think it looks a bit like Ed Harris, though. I wonder if anyone agrees...

Not me, never did thank goodness. Glad I don't have ED.

Yes. That is the only other E2 figure I would want besides mullet Obi Wan and Rango Fett.

Would love to see HT do Mullet-Wan Kenobi.

The biggest issue is the mouth is too wide....

Close but still needs work.

Why wasn't Ed Harris cast as the Emperor first place? That would have solved the problem.

estimate Emperor release schedule.. Q3/2020

I think they just need to scrap this sculpt and try again from the beginning. Its funny because I thought the Emperor would be one of those head sculpts that HT nails right outta the gate.....guess not.

Actually I don’t think he looks TOO bad in that particular picture. However, I do concur that they should probably just start from scratch again with this sculpt.

The biggest issue is the mouth...to big, and bottom teeth should not show.

Do you mean the bottom Ed Harris pic or the top one ?

The top one is from Battlefront. I still maintain if HT wants to go for an evil smiling emperor the Battlefront version looks better and more evil looking. However I did suggest that once in this thread about 30 pages back somewhere and got told off that HT shouldn't be aiming for a Battlefront likeness, only the movie likeness counts.

But yes going back to the drawing board does sound like a good idea. Those pics with him using the force lightening would be a good place to start if they are going to give us force lightening.

The secondary Abraham Lincoln sculpt can serve for the museum pose.

I feel that the battle front Emperor picture is based on the above pic.

Regardless...I

I don't get the hate for the Battlefront Emperor, for me the likeness is spot on and if Hot Toys Headsculpt looked like that I would be happy!

That's exactly what I thought too. It might even be down to the tilt of the head ??

Either way I think putting a smile on the most evil guy in the galaxy is playing with fire. Make it evil rage, or don't even go there.

What's the point in being evil if you can't enjoy yourself?

Exactly. Same here
