I was sold just on the premise of it being made, these new images just make me more and more happy with the result.

Yeah, you've been on this big time. Its taken me some time to get to where I know its something I do want.
I don't know what it is, because in essence his portrait is just a wrinkly old man, but I find the look so appealing, and the character is just very entertaining. Jedi will always tie with Sith as my favorie, and the Sidious look is embodied very well in both so this will be a piece that always takes me into my favorite movies.

Here's the SSC homepage image with Josh's affiliate image blended in to try and get a better perspective.
His eye looks great there, this is going to be must have piece for me down the road sometime.
Well, judging from images, I think the sculpt will be more true to the Jedi look. He was younger so his face doesn't look as full in Jedi as it did in ROTS, which in turn made him at times not look exactly the same as Jedi, and at 1:1 it should be all about true replication of the film it's based on. That is a cool idea, but I'm sure many like me prefer Jedi Sith clothes so not sure how well ROTS Ex would sell unless they did like Faux Bronze type ES of 100 or 50.

Man that looks amazing. 
That's true. Just kind of a fools hope type of thing I suppose. I hope they do a ROTS version someday.
Well, I think you'd agree with this too, a ROTS would look better with an even more evil face on it than this bust, this one captures about as aggressive as he got in Jedi, but nowhere near how evil his face got in ROTS.
I agree. The face wouldn't fit overall in the ROTJ mode but man they gotta make a ROTS one.
Depending on the success of this one, I could see it happening.

Are you on the square?
I was in awe the first time I found out Vader had a master back in 1980. Palpatine is the man! :emperor

MF, I actually think that the fact Ian McDiarmid was thinner in 1982 (when ROTJ was filmed) than in 2003 (when ROTS was filmed) works to the character's advantage.
Think about it. He had 20+ more years (of actual time, and reverse story-time) of being eaten from within by the Dark Side, slowly corrupted and emaciated.

I'm ready for this baby, got ROTJ playing in my DVD as I type 
The wait is driving me mad!
I hear ya, this is like the grand Sidious/Palpatine week between this bust and the figures shipping, if they announced a PF or dio I'd go over the edge lol.
HOLY **** ME!!!
