Hot Toys ROTJ Emperor Palpatine

[Jack Bauer]

This is a great figure. Regular edition for me. That said, I have an extra HT Emperor deluxe set with throne avail. $295 shipped if anyone is interested.

Awesome deal. Have you put it in the collectors group on facebook? I put mine there it moved instantly.

Opened mine up today. Such an awesome figure! Had to futz with the hood a little but I finally got it over his head well enough so I didn't have to cut the stitches yet. I am disappointed that the force lightning is so d**n long. I. can't really fit him in my Detolf, in the position that I want him, with them on his hands.

I have not. I do not have a facebook.

I heard about black hood might stained the head so I inserted a small piece of white paper towel between hood and the head - cut it small enough, and it's not visible. I don't know whether this is working or not, but will give it a try. Any thoughts, because I don't want to take any chances?

Not a bad idea actually. You'll have to give us updates to see if the robe is coming off on the paper towel. I left the plastic wrap around his neck myself. Not sure what to do about the top of his head though. I may try your idea

You can always remove the head and paint the top of the headsculpt with liquid latex. It dries almost invisible and creates a barrier. And it can be just peeled off if you want to remove it.

I just put a piece of clear tape inside the hood. I suppose there's a chance it may transfer through the tape though? I didn't soak it before posing him, so maybe I'll do that when I get a chance.

Probably a bit of hysteria about staining....

Yeah, is there any evidence at all of staining yet? I checked mine but the hood only seems to make head contact on the upper forehead and back toward the ears - no staining that I can see so far (but I didn't pull the hood to see.)

Staining I think is a bit over hyped, but I suppose it is better safe than sorry. Unrelated universe but same topic, I put the black cloak on my Justice League Wonder Woman, but lightly covered the shoulders, back, and arms with a layer of Saran Wrap first to prevent potential dye transfer.

I've had the hood pulled pretty low and tight around the head for awhile, and don't see any staining either.

Another way is to get 3M scotch tape and stick it to the inside of the hood?

When I get the replacement robe I'll definitely have the water treatment for it.

I left my head in the box and just have the hood pulled down real far. Looks good and no risk of staining.

Sounds similar to what I did. I just swapped the sculpt with a Michael Myers sculpt, so that way you can at least somewhat make out a white face, and pulled the hood down really far to obscure it.

 

[rayeknor]

I don't get that. The sculpt is the highlight of this figure. Better with a bit of paper or tape under his hood

 

[Jamielov]

There will never be a time where I display the figure without his hood on, so im not the least bit worried about staining... but if i ever notice anything I'll post it here.
