Palpatine 1:1 bust

[Scar]

Now if the eyes end up looking like that, based on the other pictures we've seen this looks to be a true success.

No look at this :

The image is awfully small, but dare I say, the eye looks of T2 Arnie bust quality, not Maul quality, that'd be fantastic if it were true.

That hood is really starting to look like polystone.

I really can't imagine them doing the hood Polystone.

I'm still not sure what makes you think it is, but I rather doubt it, Maul's all cloth, I believ Greedo is all cloth, Yoda's all cloth. The only SW bust not cloth is Bossk because of his shoulders containing gear that would be a bit complex to make cut off like that. I'm sure it'll be a cloth hood.

I'm not saying it is polystone but what I am saying is it really looks like it from the pics.Maybe because of the colour and texture it appears to have,kind of reminds me of the Ringwraith bust.

There's no way a hooded Emperor is going to have anything but cloth. No chance whatsoever.

Oh I know, I was just curious what suggest PS to you, the texture? That's the artistry with Sideshow sometimes, cloth can look poly and poly can look cloth. I remember when I first got my T-800 LS bust, I thought they used cloth for his grenade bandolier, but it was molded polystone, and all the T2 busts make poly look like leather, don't know how they pull it off but they do.

I'm confident this will be cloth, and the portrait is looking better and better with each reveal. I'll be glad to order it tonight, and glad to see pics, but this is one I'll really be waiting on the 360 Quicktime vid for.

Awesome, where'd the right eye image come from Josh?

 

[King Darkness]

Are the 1:1 busts usually available through distributors? On something this pricey the lower cost would be much appreciated.

I'm pretty sure I remember Dark Shadow Collectibles having the Bossk up for order, it's not anymore, but I'm almost certain they had it for pre-order a few months ago.

If the final product looks as good as what I'm expecting this could very well be my favorite thing SS has done yet.
