    Beware if you want to put the lightning hands on your old Emperor, the old emperor's hand pegs are giant mushrooms, I'd imagine you'd have to practically boil it to get them off safely, I broke both of mine before they came off. Not a big loss though, don't see myself ever really needed them again.
    Also one of the pegs on the lightning hands was molded sideways somehow, a weird QC defect.

    The only thing I don’t like about this figure is the wrist joint. Why did they make it articulate side to side instead of up and down? It would’ve been nice to fold the hand over the armrest. Guess I gotta wait for shf to drop one!

  • @prophet924
    @prophet924 5 років тому

    Gus...heh! This is a fun piece. His extra heads are spoilery in that I want more emoting heads from the Wars BS figs. Screaming Luke. Smirking Han. Smiling Obi-Wan. Laughing Yoda. Teeth gritting Maul. Confused Qui-Gonn. Just more. Oh yeah, more hands to swap out too. The throne worried me at first but it’s alright. Now for Golden Rod’s floating deity chair...and Ewoks. Star Wars is fun.

  • @rynohobbies

    Ah! I got mine this week. The paint application on mine is all kinds of sloppy. Silver smudges on the top of the throne, dots of grey on all the faces, even the eyes on the smiley head are looking to the left. The main draw for me was the throne. I started to customize my old Emperor giving him a grey crepe material robe, like the Hot Toys version. I’m glad I have him and his throne and all the accessories. For me it’s all about the throne.

    Thanks for the review. I really enjoy this figure and quite like the throne. I've set it up with the Death Star display stand that was an exclusive from S.H. figuarts. I think it's a pretty good value for the money as well. Ordering it in Canada was interesting. It never came up for pre-order so I did have it preo-ordered on Amazon.com, then over a month before it was available at their .com it was in stock on the .ca site. A bit frustrating these Amazon exclusives, but I am glad I managed to get it. Again, I always enjoy listening to your opinion on the figures, and it was good to see a comparison with the first release.
