As long as it comes out perfect or close to.

There'll likely be one (probably two) prequel Palpatine figures. There'll be more Vaders. But I think there will probably only be this one OT Palps. So, however long it takes to get it right, that's what I prefer. Would love to have it sooner, but would rather have it done great and without needless qc issues.

Yes. I concur. First thing I texted a friend when I got the notice -- hope they're improving the face (faces).

Still wishing beyond hope they throw in a 2nd head.

Still very surprised they didn't do that to start with.

Ok with me, its still early.

Plus it puts some distance between Jedi Luke and Palps....

Maybe that's why there wasn't any announcement for the Royal Guards so far. Palpatine is a Royal Guard seller so having him released 1~2months after the RG is odd. Palps should be released first or simultaneously with RG to boost the sales.
Anyway my 2 RG will be kept in their boxes waiting for their master to be released

I'm sure HT would have liked the timing to go that way... but something went wrong.

The head sculpt?

Sculpt look stellar as is, might just be factory stuff or materials.

Sneering lightning chuckin face would be highly appreciated

Maybe it’s because of the throne.

I’ll probably save him to open on Christmas or something. My flexpay works out that way at least.

Will this hold back the Royal Guard release?

It will be weird to have reveal
photos of the RG without the Emperor.

Immediately what I thought too of too.... though, you’d think they’d be working that out sooner in the process

SO reading through this, most people are happy he's coming late. I personally would prefer to have him now. But OK if they're using the time to improve the head sculpt or adding a second headsculpt then I'm OK with that. Very much doubt a second sculpt though.

But have they ever gone and done a totally different sculpt from the proto pics ? Pretty rare. I can't think of anything which was totally different, but I'm sure there must be some.

They totally redid the DX06 Jack Sparrow 2nd head from that strange grinning one to the simple smirk.

I think they'll redo Maul too. Do you count Boba Fett's helmet -- they used ROTJ repaint for the proto.

 

[CrankbaitJon]

Likely not QC issue causing a delay. Expect this later this week or next week together with the Royal Guard. I don't think they will release them separately.

 

[Hoody999]

Maybe it's SS turn to be late and Hot Toys are shipping directly to BBTS this time

OK that's interesting about Jack Sparrow. And yes, I hope they do do something about Maul.

If a second sculpt was being added, they would have had a blurred image to begin with I guess.
