Unboxing the Figure

Inspired by Palpatine’s appearance from Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith, this stunning sixth scale collectible figure brings a notorious villain to life.

It comes complete with a Lightsaber, an LED-lighted Lightsaber for added dramatic flair, and a stylish figure base to showcase in your collection.
