Hot Toys ROTJ Emperor Palpatine

[Wor-Gar]

Hey anyone have any quick tips for getting this guy to sit naturally in the chair?

Keep at it. Bend the knees as far as you can, using the calves to support Palps in the chair, pulling him forward off his backrest a bit. Bend the chest as much as the torso and tilt the head forward. Futz until he looks right. Draping the robes properly helps immeasurably in selling a comfortably seated Emperor so he doesn't look slouched.

Did anybody else have this problem? I just got my Deluxe Palpy today and there are scuffs/smudges on the side of the throne. This is the third HT figure I've gotten in the past 6 months with a problem. Generally I wouldn't care but with a $300 price tag for this one, this is getting nuts.

Arm wear. Someone else got ass wear on the seat cushion.

These v2s get more detailed every month.

I just pushed him into the chair at the waist and chest area. It's the only way to make sure he's up against the seat properly. Plus it's pretty quick.

Otherwise his head will be too high, and legs/feet up even higher.

Yup, this is the best advice anyone could give for this figure (IMO):

Has anyone got this from BBTS yet?

I ordered deluxe, have heard nothing.

I truly believe the base is meant to go under the chair in front. It's no coincidence that his feet perfectly sit on it. No need for feet extenders.

That works but I can't fit it in a detolf along with 2 Royal Guards. There isn't enough depth on the shelf so part of the base is sitting on the base of the chair, which kind of irks me.

Respectfully, I disagree. It would be integrated into the chair someway and the circular stand would be pointless. The fault is that the seat cushion was sculpted without guard that it would actually compress when sat on in real life.

Got my deluxe emperor, and decided to have some fun with him.. He's really good, I think Hot Toys did a good job!

Great point!

Parts up at TA! Someone grab that chair as a test mule!

Chair is a bargain price too!

Damn yeah. $80 !

I couldn't tell if you were being sarcastic there or not. I would have placed it at easily over $100.

It's less than the difference between the reg and the deluxe, right?

EDIT: yep, just checked -- $314 vs $220... so the chair would be $94. Save $14 by getting it from TA.

Chillin or coaster?

I never realized that the Emperor had such stylish boots.

Got mine today, very happy with him. Sorry if this has been solved already, I haven't been on in a while, but I remember people having issues with his feet dangling off his throne like a toddler. It looks like his base is meant to go under his feet in front of the throne base, fits perfectly.

That's actually a glorious idea. It's not really meant for that, but it works out perfectly..not to mention you still get to show off the name plaque.
