Super Freak
So you think it sucks?
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

All you who want pants are nuts. I am sure every figure should have had underwear but who cares? You're not going to see it and if it were there people would be complaining about it looking too bulky and taking them off anyway (like Bespin Luke's tee shirt).
Price too high? Yes.
Piece of Crap? Definitely not.
Getting my Ex. next Tuesday. Can't wait. Wish I had a throne ready for him.
