Hot Toys ROTJ Emperor Palpatine

[matticus]

I can't believe he's doing that, I mean it becomes unbelievable after a certain age. I really thought Shia Lebeouf was gonna take over.

The continued raping of our fond memories of great characters continues. Hollywood/Lucasfilm/Disney's lack of intelligible creativity has ruined all that was once good.

Drama much?

All my fond memories are still good no matter what Hollywood or anyone else does. Still love the original Ghostbusters and the new flim has not ruined or changed anything for me. Same with any other franchise Star Wars, Star Trek, Indiana Jones, etc.

Just watch what you like then. Simple. Not sure how your dislike for the ST now causes you to dislike the OT.

I did think that Jessica Chastain starring in the Dirty Harry reboot was a bit much though. Harriet being a take-no-prisoners LGBT activist draining the swamp might rattle some though.

Good gravy how did this thread turn into the swamp of undesired discussion? LOL

Just placed an order for the deluxe Emperor and ROTJ Luke. Now the wait for ROTJ Vader.
Any idea when Hot Toys will give us ROTJ Vader?

Without going back to look, my guess is that someone probably mentioned TLJ at some point.

Probably 2020-21. ESB late this year so earliest ROTJ gets previewed is SDCC 2019.

You could even sit Jedi Luke in it...

Sorry to bring this back up, but this is legitimately the worst fan edit I've ever seen lol (admittedly I only watched the ending but dear lord that Palpatine "Death").

I just saw the first few minutes and I found it hilarious. It’s meant to be funny right?

I pre-ordered the deluxe version with 2 guards, but no intention to display him sitting in that throne chair, throne chair would be use as background though

I’m actually thinking of doing the same. Maybe a pose similar to the scene that reflects:
Luke: “Your overconfidence is your weakness”
Emperor: “Your faith in your friends is yours!”

I really would have liked to see a second portrait included with a more sinister look as well.

If they really wanted to get people to buy 2 guards they should have added another headsculpt to a Royal Guard 2 pack. Has HT ever done that; added accessories for one release in another's box to tempt purchasing?

That is an evil plan but would have been an effective one. I like it!

Hot Toys would be bringing peace and security to its new Empire.

Don't understand that ?? How can an imperial guard have a different headsculpt, they're wearing masks ?

They did give the standard JL Batman the alien gun, when it actually was used by the tactical version I believe. Same with Deathtrooper guns. Deluxe only had the large long rifle, whereas the other versions had the shorter cooler sawn off gun. Probably other similar situations where HT have used accessories to force buying multiple versions.

These guys just don't have any accessories or things to distinguish them from another.

Remember as well that a double pack means additional box development, plastic clamshell tooling, additional artwork etc etc. Simpler to keep the cost and complexity down and just offer them as singles. Am sure they have a lot to do with Solo, Deadpool and Infinity Wars as well with their limited resources.

He meant an alternative headsculpt of the Emperor, not the guards.

Kind of like they did with Vulture’s Helmet in the Spiderman Homecoming Exclusive.
