Hot Toys ROTJ Emperor Palpatine

[TaliBane]

I like the creative liberties SH Figurearts took with their Palps and chair.

He can actually sit, the face is much more menacing - looks great overall.

The proportions on that throne look a bit like the Sideshow 1/6 throne - a bit small on the roof/top section.

I really, really wish HT had done a serious/brooding face.

Nice setup Ed.

thanks chris. did you get the single version of old palp`s

 

[Chakaman]

thanks chris. did you get the single version of old palp`s

I did yes. I'm not a fan of how he looks on throne.

 

[generalgrevious]

yeah I agree. hopefully some one will do another run of palps with serious expression again.

 

[yy0925]

Of course, there always is.

I was just wondering because I haven't read anything about a version 2 with ALL the flaws corrected in this thread...

But sure, if there really is such a version 2 of Palp, I hope mine is one of them.
KGHobby shipped mine just yesterday.

Really glad to see everybody getting him futzed, with and without the throne

Can't wait to receive mine

Ever wonder if Palpatine really needed the cane? Was it a front to give hims a frail appearance or did he recently have a “gout attack” and he finds it hard to walk!!

Yes! After seeing Yoda drop his cane and fight Dooku I always wondered if Palps was just playing it up.

 

[Darkseed]

Finally broke down and ordered this guy with an eBay coupon and free shipping, the price felt right.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Something about Jedi/Sith Masters playing it up with a cane and sad little cloaks.

[Chakaman]

NICE!

Thanks.

No, figure is stock. I just futzed the robe.

 

[Wor-Gar]

No, figure is stock. I just futzed the robe.

Really? Wow -- no way I'd put extenders on him with his robes already that high. Besides, his height looks fine to me as is based on your pic.

Nice shots... great futzing of the cloak and hood, Chris

Yes. The only mods I made were removing the side stitches on the hood. The body is stock.

I am not sure why some felt extenders were necessary.

Thanks Paul.

After gettin the IS vader most things feel like they need to be done by IS.

Yes, my Vader is a bit tall. Every part of him is kitbashed together. I haven't had time to shorten him.
