SSC 1/6 ROTJ Emperor and Throne

[Wor-Gar]

Somebody be brave and repaint the normal head's lips to be not so red. I'm convinced that's the only (nitpicky) flaw with this figure.

Shouldn't be too hard to just go over the lips with some off white/gray paint.

 

[galactiboy]

Yep, just do a light wash so some of the pink shows through... but not much.

 

[MaulFan]

I'm pretty sure the 1/6 Gandalf was also Miller.

Trevor might have done the PF or maybe the maquette

EDIT: Yep, looking at the product specs Miller did the 1/6 and Grove the PF.

Tim's a very good sculptor, I hate when people comment like everything should be Trev or no one, Tim's very good too and so are others at Sideshow.

I have to laugh every time anyone assumes as awesome sculpt is Trev's.

Yep, Sideshow has some very, very talented people. Trevor Grove is certainly one of them, but now and in the past many others have done some phenomenal work

I based that on this picture from his deviantart page.

It didn't specify what scale. My mistake.

Hm. Looks like my Emperor is doing a EU tour... Currently he's in the Netherlands. Before that he was in Paris, France. What do you know. Reminds me of that other dictator, that didn't live "too long ago", and not so "far far" away".

 

[galactiboy]

Mine's waiting for me at the UPS location... I'll get him after work

Really wish I had a spare clone body so I could do the chest swap. Guess I need to order one from TA.

Aaaah couldn't he have stopped here and come to me...?

Hope to see mine here next Wednesday

 

[Wor-Gar]

I wonder how many Ex Emps they had, considering once pictures started being posted he sold out really fast -- like in 4 days.

Also, what the heck is the free gift? Anyone reorder and receive yet?

 

[Darth Cruel]

Isn't the insulated lunch bag the free gift?

 

[JustinLuck]

Isn't the insulated lunch bag the free gift?

Did you get that with the throne or the emperor? Is there a photo of the bag on here? I didn't receive one.

 

[JacktheRipper]

The bags okay. Don't know why they would even consider charging extra shipping. They just opened my box and slide it between the outer and inner box.

This link gives you the details. If you got your Emperor and Throne through the regular Preorder...you would not get the gift. It is only for in-stock items so those who ordered the Emperor and/or the Throne after Sideshow listed it as in-stock would get the gift.

 

[agen_kolar]

I've decided to sell my throne, since I'm not displaying Palpatine with it. If anyone is interested, I put made a thread in the Commerce For Sale/Trade section.

 

[galactiboy]

Responded and it will be bought... $90 shipped is a sweetass deal

 

[Customikey]

Wait for Customikey... I know he's chomping at the bit (I think he's waiting on paint though) to get this one done.

Thanks for the confidence! Yeah, I can't wait to put Palpy under the brush.

 

[pixletwin]

I put in a bid for a throne on ebay 20 second before I saw ag's FS thread.

Still $130 shipped is ok. I am just worried about it getting to me in one piece.

 

[digitalstarwars]

My Palpatine just arrived and he is totally awesome! Futzing with him now and trying a few different poses. The only thing I don't like is the way his sash on the inner robe is tied, does anyone have any suggestions for a better looking way to tie it so both ends hang down? Maybe I should wet it and fold it?

 

[Lord Exor]

I just received mine as well--however, it was sitting outside in the heat for quite some time and the boots appear to be too flimsy and soft to hold the figure's weight. If the boots remain soft, is there a safe way of rectifying this quandary, or would it be optimal to inform Sideshow?
