CyberVillain
Super Freak
I took some quick shots of him
Would I do that through melting or simple carving? Also, is the Slim the only body that would fit Palpatine's size class?If you use the slim and the SS neck, you will have to make the neck hole on the slim larger.
Cybervillain - Very nice shots, man.

That is your opinion, personally I think he needs pants. First because it was advertised as such, second because of the price which was too high and accessories too less and no pants makes this even more sad or hilarious (depending on the point of view), then because other figures like this have it and there was no problem, and finally because it looks odd without these and I'm not sure they would be too bulky if tailored right. I don't need my figures to have underwear but at least pants under the robe yes. And the figure is not a piece of crap, in fact is one of my favorites (and I paid a lot for it), but SS got cheap on some of the accessories, but didn't go cheap on the price alas.
I personally really think the figure sucks. Quite possibly Hot Toys has spoiled it all but I have to say I think this is a huge step BACKWARDS from Lando, Vader, Stromtrooper and even Obi-Wan AOTC and Ben Kenobi ANH (with respect, a huge step above Captain Piet)
In fact I was pretty shocked how little bashing SS was getting on this thread... must be used to mediocre efforts by them
1) Price. Normally I never _____ about this but the price is nearing double whatthey used to be and other than the crappy promethus there is noting to show for that at all. All other quality is still just as bad
2) bulky, unnatural robe, bunches at his arms, hood is too bulky, all wrong texture all over... just bad
3) Does not even have pants
4) Cane too short
5) Inner lining's waist tie looks like a joke...
6) No pants. Is it NEEDED? Maybe not but the thing cost upwards of 80 bucks, They culd have given him some damn pantaloons
7) the angry EX head is just so, so silly looking, I'm surprised so many are even using the damn thing
8) The reg head looks cheap, rough sculpt with a lot less fine detailings than most SS heads. Crappy paint. too-plasticy looking overall. Looks like he is wearing lipstick. barely looks like Mcdirmand unless you use trick photography. I pull the hood over the whole damn head and try to forget it's even there.
9) don't even get me started on the lightning
10) Pro. body. Willthey EVER getthis thing to not be so damn floppy? Hell Id prefer a buck at this point.
I can;t remember the lat time i hated something I got so much... I do... it was Leonidas, and compared to Palpatine, Leonidas is perfect. Usually I;m not so overtly hostile but this figure makes me downright angry
Is it time for another Imperial officer, in the form of Moff Jerjerrod to face the Emperor?
Tarkin or bust!
If they're smart and we're lucky, at today's prices, if the Emperor struggles with sales, the only remaining Imperial officers that stand a chance would be Tarkin and Veers.
