This is the best picture EVER taken of this bust. I never saw ROTJ Palpatine in the bust until this pic, and this one looks like a freakin' movie still! AMAZING!!!

It's totally a Jedi bust with the hood up, the eye sockets don't look as deep and the jawline is much more slender. The complexious is pale as it should be too, some of the photos don't convey that, the paints behave quite interestingly with the camera. A lot of shots make the red in his eye sockets look like a deep red, almost maroon, but they're much more subdued and paler in person. Other than the colors for his iris, and it's only the colors that are an issue with the eyes and they look great otherwise, this bust is flawless in my mind, I absolutely love it.

Just received mine today, and I have to say this is my favorite bust in my collection after having all the Star Wars Busts and a select few of other busts. This piece is freaking amazing if you can put it in the right light and the paint job is so realistic most pictures don't convey it. When I finally get my room done I will have to post some pics with the Droids I got coming.

No human 1:1 busts please. Way too many aliens and creatures to waste time on boring human sculpts
Overall I'd agree, but the most important human of all, Obi-Wan, must be done, especially Old Ben.

agreed... old Ben is the next bust i want. of course they can take their time making him since i want a while to save money for one.

oh don't worry, he's next for me, I've been ecstatic since the tease image, and once he's finall available, crossing fingers SDCC, I'll go ballistic. I know a lot of folks weren't fans of him in the movie, but I love the movie design and a 1:1 bust, especially if they get all the cool detail in the eye sockets with the slime and all, will be amazing. After that, Kenobi's all that's left on my want list.

I don't even care how much that thing costs, I'll get it from Adam or Mike the day it goes up for order. That bust may be the big purchase that pushes Marvel out the door though

It's tough to judge. If I remember the image correctly, it looked like basically from his collar up. I'll have to dig up some movie images with him near a person, I don't think he'd be too much bigger, so the bust would probably come in $500-$600, I don't think it should hit Predator prices, I hope not anyway.

Palpatine looks great in these pictures. I think those who get this one will not be disappointed.

I still don't understand why SS doesn't have a section where people can post pics of their collection. Think how many more products they'd be able to sell with free advertising from their fans.
Well, I imagine they don't want to devote resources to sifting through submissions, I'm sure there'd be plenty of innappropriate submissions that had to be dealt with.
