Here's the Emperor compared to Vader (who has been torso modded and helmet modded):
My Emperor is hunched over for the cane so he'll give a little more height.
You don't gain much height diff with the helmet mod, but the mod does make the helmet look more to scale and not so big and clunky (besides looking world's better and much more mean).

Yep, I didn't realize the Vader's cape and robe are that same crazy material like Lando's cape... no way to shape it. Water treatment has minimal effect. It looks nice to the eye on the shelf but very difficult to work with. Witht eh height mod it helps a little that his cape hits the floor so you can use that resistance to shape a bit.
Looks good, Wor-Gar! How did you get the helmet off and what did you do to it?
EDIT: Nevermind. I just rocked it back and forth a bit and broke the glue joint. I just did the mod and it looks MUCH better.

Post pics! Love to see how yours came out too.
I love mine now. Really makes a big difference, more so that I thought.
Newly modded Vader with his master:
I just trimmed the ridges with a dremel. Left the post untouched.

How do you Modify the Torso?? I was thinking about doing something like that, but I wasn't sure where to start.!

Damn... a lot of great shots of this figure. Can't wait to have him on Tuesday. I'm now 100% convinced the Throne is a "must have".
Sean, this is one of my favorites from you... great shot

Thanks, and really, I know at the retail price, the throne's an iffy thing for a lot of folks, but man, when I sit the figure in it and there he is, it's so cool, it's everything I wanted when this line started, I wanted the Emperor made and the throne was a must make item too, they did a great job on the Emperor figure, the throne looks great, I'm really happy with how this all turned out.

I love this new Emperor figure. Haven't bought a sideshow 12 inch SW fig for a long time, but Palpatine and throne was always on my wish list. Maybe I'm hooked again!? The official photos just don't do it justice. You guys are much better photographers!!

I'm glad you dig it, Sean. Really.
And your pics of the whole kit and kaboodle are quite convincing. But I still haven't seen any evidence that the Emperor can do anything more than dangle in his throne like a kid in a booster seat at a restaurant. 
Has anyone been able to make him sit in the thing like an adult? Feet on the ground and all? Or is the dangling-feet look the only option?If someone can show me that the Emperor and the throne fit together appropriately, then I'm all over it
The feet won't touch the ground with him fully back in it, but I don't find them to be rediculously off the ground, there's like 1/4 inch if that between his feet and the surface.

Man... I just feel like that would be too obvious for me. I'd love to have it work perfectly, but even a quarter inch seems like too much in my mind.
Does the robe hide most of the discrepancy? If the cloth were to hide the fact that his feet don't touch the ground, such a thing might be easy to overlook in the long run, especially if displayed properly. But I have a hard time reconciling the image of a proud and sinister despot like Palpatine dangling his feet over the edge of this throne like a five-year-old in a booster seat at Pizza Hut.
