I just love this figure. High quality and likeness on point as expected from Hot Toys! And in my opinion the throne is a must have for an evil display. And thanks to Sideshow for the ultrafast oversea shipping!

This is an awesome figure, but the throne definitely makes it for me. Although he looks pretty gnarly with the lightning bolts attached, I simply love the menacing evil of seeing the Emperor sitting on his throne. Darth Vader on one side and a royal guard on the other, and this figure is the centerpiece of my cabinet. I definitely recommend picking up the deluxe version if you are on the fence. You won't regret it.

Great figure all across the board the Throne is heavy the Palpatine figure is very detailed from head and hand sculpt too outfit. He has all the qualities one comes to expect from Hot Toys products

Esta es mi primera figura, son increibles los detalles que tiene, llegando a tener las pupilas perfectamente hechas, mola mucho estar haciendo las diversas poses que tiene, aunque yo lo he dejado sentado en el trono pero con la espada laser en la mano, entregandola, sin duda, repetire otra Hot Toys (corriendo de que mi mujer me tire de casa....); respecto al servicio de Sideshow, es una gran ayuda los planes para pagar que tiene y el envio es rapidisimo (completamente pagado el 28 y recibido el 5 del mes siguiente), lo unico que hay que contar con aduanas pero si quieres alguna figura en particular, no suele haber para elegir en otras tiendas, tienes que comprar en distribuidor.

THIS FIGURE IS AMAZING!! The details are spot on. The dark lord comes with plenty of accessories and his throne is just an added bonus. If I had or have one small complaint, it's that the light on the back of the chair isn't as bright as the pictures make out. Besides that though, this figure is worth every bit of the price that they're asking and it looks great in my display case. Thank You so much Sideshow!!

Hot Toys hit it out of the park with this figure. This is the emperor figure to own. Excellent detail and features. A must own for any Star Wars fan.

An absolute perfect representation of the Emperor. The sculpt is nothing short of fantastic! The throne is nice and sturdy as well. Thanks Hot Toys for giving me the Emperor I’ve always wanted since childhood.

Wow wow wow!! The head sculpt is the best I have ever scene on a 1/6 figure. The Throne is totally epic. This piece really stands out in my display space.

Again, I must tip my hat and bow before the talented sculptors/painters at Hot Toys! Looks so realistic in photos I took - detail in the texture and coloration of the skin is excellent! They even captured the "waffle print" texture of Sidious' robe!! The lighted throne is a great extra, and a must! Don't miss the chance to own the most evil member of the Star Wars universe!

Beautiful représentation of this evil and cunning Sith Lord. Be sure to pair him with at least one royal guard. The contrasting darkness of the emperor and vibrant red of the guard makes for a perfect display.

I just received this figure yesterday, it was my xmas present from my friends, and I am soooo pleased that I got him.... He is AMAZING !!!

Absolutely amazing!!! Head sculpt, Fabric, Throne detail... Speechless!!!! Hot Toys you have outdone yourselves this time.

Ive been a Star Wars fan since I was a baby and palpatine was my absolute favorite from the minute he graced the Death Star with his immaculate presence and Im so beyond honored to now have him as the jewel of my collection! Keep up the great work sideshow!

Worth every penny
Finally someone got his face right!
Very detailed. His eyes are amazing.
The throne I give a 9 out of 10.
The lights are a really cool feature.
Only complaint is I wish the purple part of his throne was done in a leather type fabric instead of plastic
Otherwise, Great item

It just arrived, and it better than I expected. Very detailed, purely exquisite. And the throne. The Throne!!! It rocks! It is incredible! It has all the shiny lights, and the Emperor's hands are positioned in such a way as if he actually is touching the buttons! Best buy ever!

I have the sideshow exclusive Emperor and throne from several years ago. It was great but there was always things i wished it had a light up throne , lightening for his hands and Pants. This one addressed all the above and i think its a perfect representation. I love it. He sits next the other one.

Very pleased

Very happy with this figure! The face is just as creepy as I remember, great job by HT as always with the life like head sculpts. Also, it was worth it going with deluxe. The throne is very cool and it takes you back to the final showdown as the Emperor sat and watched with glee.

As always amazing above top quality products exceptional in every way I couldn't have hoped for better. Thank you
