Hot Toys Royal Guard

You could see if Toy Anxiety parts out another helmet. Might make up some of the difference. They already did a couple so not sure if they’ll do it again.
The SSC throne is definitely a touch too small (and not a particularly screen accurate sculpt either,) though I think it's just the way j14 has posed his figure that makes it look so underscale.
I just have a tweaked Hasbro Emperor until my HT fig/throne arrives, and I would assume the Hasbro fig would be a slightly larger scale than the SSC Palps, and it looks okay scale-wise. I think the SSC throne will be fine for the HT Emperor.
Thanks TaliBane. That makes sense.

Geez Talibane that Emperor is scarier than the "real" version

Was planning on using one plus my Medicom royal guard, assumed there would be a slight height difference but wow, need to rethink this
“I can’t see a thing in this helmet!”
I like how this guy comes with the correct hand for holding the pike already equipped. Usually HT puts the neutral hands on the figures. I guess they know just about everyone will put him in the "guard" pose.

Anyone crazy enough to buy more than 2 yet?
I’m thinking about it. I love ot troops and these guys look awesome together.
Add in the fact that other than palpatine, there are zero ot figs coming for at least a year, I may need to feed my addiction, lol.
These guards have a real presence. It’s funny, but my 9 year old was checking out my display and I pointed out the new guards. He told me that if he ever decided to play with daddy’s toys, the guards are now first on his list.
He’s joking because he knows I would disown him.

My son is 12 now, but I too trained him well. He knows not to touch Daddy's (and his
) toys. When he was young I put a long shelf high up in his room with some of my stuff on it, and he was so happy to be able to just lay in bed and look at them. Never once did he try to get them. He still enjoy's just sitting and looking at them alone or with me, while my daughter (his 12 year old twin) just rolls her eyes while thinking we are nuts and asks me to sell them to buy her stuff....
The only thing my kids ever damaged was my, and the very 1st made, MR Anakin Force FX lightsaber. But that was my fault showing them how I play with it...
They didn't break it, just the blade has all sorts of scuffed up marks on it. And i'm pretty sure it was my daughter and not my son. But that's ok, cause it reminds me of them and their "innocent" childhood. fantasticfrog

The LEGO movie hit a little close to home, lol.
I gave my boys 90% of my modern collection so they can’t complain. My five year old daughter refuses to even watch Star Wars, even though she knows I have a whole box of toys saved for her. Maybe someday.
That said, I’ve been staring at the guards for 2 days now. Can’t wait for palpatine.

At least you've got your Guards...my turn to have the late delivery this time.......
Where did you get your Guards from ? Hong Kong direct or in the States ?

Anybody have their Timewalker order ship, or know when they are shipping?

Got a reply from Timewalker about them inspecting before shipping and they said they will be. Hopefully that goes for all of them.
No word on when they’re actually shipping though.

Are you rinsing/washing or exchanging?

Sideshow must have had words with Hot Toys to get their shipment quicker (or the Hong Kong release delayed) to enable apparent quicker delivery to SS customers.
Maybe also a ploy to lure customers back to SS......

More like SS persuaded HTs to delay their HK releases to match theirs. Make sense as SS wants more sales. Delays me because I get them from HK

I tried the wash - didn't work on mine. I'll check tomorrow what they look like in the daylight (might do some photos too), and judge whether to return them or not.
Really bizarre, because the spots on mine are virtually identical on each one.
