Palpatine 1:1 bust

[The Chaver]

Definitely, I expect the ES to be like 500. I can't wait to order it, I don't even have to see the rest to know if I'll order or not, seeing it is just a matter of indulgence at this point

Have'nt all the SW 1/1 bust's been an ES of a 1000?

 

[Darth Loki]

This will be very, very tempting. I told myself I wouldn't get any human 1:1 busts so this will really have to WOW me.

Greedo was 300 and I think Bossk was as well.

 

[The Chaver]

Well then this could be a darkness if they go that low.

No idea what that comment means but I'm sure the ES is determined by the character and how popular they think the bust will be.

My mistake, Maul and Yoda were 1000. I highly doubt Palpatine will be 300 like Greedo and Boskk, I think they were so low because of how niche a fan base they'd have, but between how evil it ought to look and popularity of Palpatine, I'd guess this bust will be Maul popular.

 

[DarthSid]

Yes! This will be a definite buy for me.:emperor

 

[creature4000]

HELL MUH ******* YEAH!!!! That's what i'm talking 'bout

It will be mine

I need to change my pants

There's $600 down the drain... again!

It means it could be a grail if they go with a low ES.

 

[creature4000]

Just like the Bassk bust????

 

[The Chaver]

Just like the Bassk bust????

Bossk? Who's that?

 

[anakin1138]

I could be wrong,but Palps hood looks like it's made of polystone

I don't think so to me It looks like cloth.
Anyway This is the Bust #1 on my wishlist. THANKS Sideshow... the only problem could be shipping and taxes to Italy but with the currency change to euro It will costs basically the same. So No prob. :emperor

 

[Customikey]

My God, can you imagine how heavy this would be if it were solid polystone, including the voluminous hood?!

After the sculpt, the eyes will b e the deal breaker for me. I hate the digitized decal-looking eyes on the otherwise beautiful Maul bust. To be super-realistic, I wish they'd use glass eyes or even just glass-inserts for the pupils...

That would be great!:emperor

 

[Blackhole]

Maybe they'll attach his hood to the rest of the head, to get round the problem of what lies beneath...

Ugh, you mean like the hasbro 12"? Nay, say I. I think the way to go is simply to sculpt the hair, like the ROTS version (maybe a bit thinner and balder).

 

[Rogue Trooper]

This piece is going to be awesome, hope theres some more Emperor Papatine this year like Maul last year.

I think 500-600 would be a good ES. Yoda is still readily available and they seem to be having a hard time selling him even though he's fantastic. I think a human sculpt (even one as cool and unique as this) will have a harder time selling. If it's an ES of 1000, I'll wait a few months and get him for about $200 cheaper like Yoda is going for now.

 

[MANDO]

I always thougt of him as being bald when I was younger. Not really sure why. I'm hoping this 100% spot on, like a Master Replica of McDiarmid's maked-up face! It's gonna be the cornerstone of my collection. Seeing as how Palpatine played the whole Star Wars unviverse like a fiddle from start to finish, I see no better character to emmulate.

That would be tragic. His facial disfigurations need to match the ROTJ makeup (ROTS did differ a bit with better technique) and the parts you never saw in ROTJ should be based off ROTS. It would be a major downgrade to a high end piece if they worked around showing from his ears back on his head with tricks of the hood and such, and I'm sure they didn't go that route.
