Those prices never equate directly to Sideshow prices though.

Sent from the Death Star Communications Division.

I think sideshow's logic is "if they will pay THAT for this, then they will pay THIS for that".

The emporer really shouldn't cost anywhere near $220. Royal guards shouldn't either. But I'm sure they will.

I really think they did a great job improving the likeness. I haven't been so excited for SW figures in a long while. I only collect Empire, this kinda completes the line for me.

Probably checking the response on the boards before deciding......we need more negativity here to get that price down !!

That's sculpt does not look like Palpatine at all. It's the worst figure hot toys ever released.

Looks great. Much better than the Ed Harris version they showed a while back.

Will probably get. Now give me ROTJ Vader with removable helmet pls.

Standing on the base looks so much better than sitting on the throne.......IMO

 

[xipotec]

Whew! Glad the upped the sculpt....much much better looking...

I have Jedi Luke on P.O., and was really looking forward to the display of Vader , Luke and the Emperor....but not Vader, Luke and Ed....

Solid P.O. now, I actually was saving my RP for this one....

Glad to see the turned it around and added the needed accompaniments.

Good job HT....now just be sure production doesn’t look like Ed Harris...

I wish HT showed these kinds of images with all their reveals. I would love to see this with ESB Fett. Was not a fan of the regular images.

Yeah me too. Showing the figure under more "realistic" figure display conditions. All of the background stuff sometimes drowns out the figure a bit.

Agreed. The HT spec photos have always been a let down anyway.

How did they construct the neckjoint? I can't see the joint...

That's pretty usual, man. There's no neck-head joint. The joint is under the neck piece and fits directly into the torso.

Just saw the pics! Holy ****! Holy ****! Holy ****! That’s what I’m talking about!

Yup, like ANH Obi-Wan, Luke TFA, Han TFA, Yoda, Luke Bespin. It's nice when they're able to do it.

Definitely a new, and much improved, sculpt.

They "de-prequelized" him.

 

[NDSam]

why would you want a deluxe and a regular?

Because I wouldn’t need/want two thrones and would like to have the Emperor on throne with Guards on each side for one display and I want a standing/walking Emperor on another display with Vader and probably Tarkin. I have certain scenes in my head I wanna represent and don’t really like reposing figures that often. I just like staring at them. Haha
