Reminds me of the EXCLUSIVE First Order Stormtrooper Squad Leader that came out before TFA came out. I remember jumping on it thinking it would sell out within months of the movie's release. Little did I expect that 4 years later, Sideshow would still be begging people to buy their overflow stock.

I second this. My problems are well-documented, but I have no regrets about my purchase. It'll get fixed in the end.

It generally looks really great. The sculpting is especially fantastic. There are just random splotches and scratches on the thrones I received. I mostly blame bad drying and shipping issues on Hot Toy's end more than anything. One of the pluses from ordering from Sideshow is that they're...

I had lots of scratches/paint smudges on my throne that I reported to Sideshow. Sure enough, the second throne that I got from them has similar problems. Still waiting for a response from them on that. Until then, Palpy has 2 thrones that are unworthy of him. As we all know, he's not the...

That'll at least be covered. On the current one, the whole right side is kind of screwed up.

Waiting for my replacement throne due to smudge issues but I still love how this guy looks. Tried a new approach with the throne and dangling feet problem. Having him sit forward on the edge of the seat like he does during the duel takes care of that and gives him a more dynamic, interesting...

Did anybody else have this problem? I just got my Deluxe Palpy today and there are scuffs/smudges on the side of the throne. This is the third HT figure I've gotten in the past 6 months with a problem. Generally I wouldn't care but with a $300 price tag for this one, this is getting nuts.

Officially announced on Facebook. Looks solid by the looks of these pictures but some of the other costume shots look a little wonky. Thoughts?

I love this figure

Okay so as someone who has the Sideshow Exclusive of Emperor Palpatine, plus his throne... Is this figure worth it?

These two look really great together. Kind of essential if you're going to have one to get the other.

Where did you get that dirty R2? He's perfect. I'm looking to get another to complete a Dagobah diorama with Yoda and Luke.

Does anyone happen to have the Sideshow throne with the new Hot Toys figure? Still trying to figure out if I should spring for the deluxe and sell off the old one.

It looks like it's faded into the fabric dye to me. It's also located right over the crest of the boots on both of them.

Well this sucks...
