@@Ol_Lochy because I don't have a store near me I was getting the clone troppers and figures I missed and when I was goimg to get him amazon said he couldn't be shipped next thing I see is sold out
Finally Hasbro got the hood right. No more spending hours trying to get the hoods to sit right on Black Series figures. Anyway figure looks great and thanks for the review.
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.
Hey! I got a figure before Robo reviewed it! Definitely a fan of my old man figures. This and Snoke. And definitely looking forward to taking a bunch of photos with this guy.
I feel like this is like the Snoke with the throne: you can get the figure alone, but why? All they do is sit until they shock people. It's like having a Scout Trooper and no speeder bike. Mine is one the way, supposed to be here Friday it says. Yay
If we can get Vader sat on that throne, that'd be all kinds of meta! Maybe sat forward with Palpy dead at his feet and Luke knelt next to the throne ruling the Galaxy.. As father and son.
Mine is arriving next Wednesday. I’m moving my old Palpatine to face off against Mace Windu. Can’t wait to use his force lighting hands against him and swap in one of the new heads.
This figure looks amazing. Also happy to see classic Gus back. Nothing against Disthunders Mezco version, its great, but the original Gus is just... so good.
We’re in sync. Just opened my Emperor this evening and fiddled with it a while. Then I opened UA-cam and bam, here’s your review...😬. Good stuff! I want two more for all the different looks and poses. Too bad Amazon will never get these back in stock...
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!
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.
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.
ADDOITALLDAY yo Adrian! What you doing on fwoosh ain’t you got your own channel? When your review for it? Nice figure. My only complaint is the wrist joint. They should have articulated it up and down instead of side to side. Still a nice figure though. Hasbro stepping their game up! Sah dah tay ma damey!
Lol Hey David. I reviewed it just before Fwoosh. But I love Robo’s Reviews. Had to come see what he had to say about it. Plus I wanted to see if he had issues with the throne like I did.
7:07 I don't know what it is with the throne on these but if you look at the left side up at the top area, you'll see a manufacturing error of some sort. You see the ripple effect of the plastic with this one and on some others, the ripple has actually cracked at the edges. I've rarely seen a throne where this damage doesn't appear? Like wtf?
I wonder if I could sell my old palpatine so buying this would only cost me 38.75 lol this is great I almost got a 3d printed chair but old palps cant even sit, so... Thanks for getting this up here so quick robo!
Probably the only time I would ever have preferred hands that hing the other way. That said, I know it's not appropriate but I'd really wanna give him a lightsaber. All things considered, this release looks like a home run. I'll have to grab it
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.
@@SpoonDude well no. What I am saying is that he had already die, since it's been thirty years when he fell to his doom. Even if he did survive he would have been dead anyways when the death star exploded.
Mine Is Scheduled to be Delivered Friday! 😊👍 I also have an Original Release Emperor with Rikhor409 Robes and a Custom 3D Printed & Painted Throne, but had to have This Set. I'm probably going to pose Him with the Force Lightning Effect Hands, with My Emperor's Wrath Vader and Jedi Luke. Hopefully the Heads on the Upcoming ROTJ Jedi Luke with the New Headsculpt will fit the Old Jedi Luke, so We can swap the Heads, and get rid of that Awful, Puppy Dog Eyed Headsculpt.
You want this, don't you? The hate is swelling in you now. Take your Jedi weapon. Use it. I am unarmed. Strike me down with it! Give into your anger! With each passing moment, you make yourself more my servant
Not liking the overuse of blue on the heads, especially the first one and those lightning hands are also no bueno. This is turning out to be a bit of a swing and a miss (for me at least) unfortunately. EDIT: I dunno if it's just the ones Robo got, the lighting, or the close up view but when I got my Palpatine in the mail I thought the face looked better after having it in hand.
"Sorry, The Emperor can't come to the phone right now. He's on the Throne."
On the throne doing some paperwork
WikdSeafood cause he’s dead?
@@chocolatechipcookies5061 It's an old Benny Hill bit.
It’s funny, because when I’m plotting to take over the world...I’m usually on the “throne” as well.
radarlovedr I’m usually on the toilet!
You had me at "Throne chair". This set is beautiful.
The old Emperor can act as one of his clones from the Expanded Universe
Ah, very true!
When someone says this figure sucks
Palpatine: You will pay the price for your lack of vision
Edviza lmao
And now he’s like a hundred bucks because it retired... damn
And I couldn't get it becuase cororna virus stopped the shipping process fuck hasbro
Batbilli It was out for less than a full year
@@Ol_Lochy because I don't have a store near me I was getting the clone troppers and figures I missed and when I was goimg to get him amazon said he couldn't be shipped next thing I see is sold out
5:56 that was a really good Emperor laugh 😆
it reallly weirds me out how his fingers are so long on the lightning hands 😂
The dark side of the force is a pathway to many abilities, some consider to be unnatural
Finally Hasbro got the hood right. No more spending hours trying to get the hoods to sit right on Black Series figures. Anyway figure looks great and thanks for the review.
Got my sweet Palpie a couple days ago.
He is so hideously gorgeous.
Nice little throne for him to sit on too.
Well pleased.
Great review as always 👍👏
How do you build a planet-sized space station with a throne that doesn’t recline? Great review as always!

"Don't put it in your mouth." I was gonna say, who wants to put any part of Sidious in their mouths - then I remembered Rise of Skywalker.
Just picked up the Walgreens exclusive Emma frost & Dani moonstar today man Walgreens is slowly getting a lot of cool stuff now its insane.
Should be getting mine today. Glad to finally get a Palpatine for the shelf!
Wanted this badly, now I want it more since RoS
That movie sucks. You should want this figure for the ot
Hi Mr. X BOX!
That hood looks great! It's amazing how much it adds to the figure's presence.
“At the top pitch black like palpatine’s soul”
You sir, have achieved comedy
Hey! I got a figure before Robo reviewed it! Definitely a fan of my old man figures. This and Snoke. And definitely looking forward to taking a bunch of photos with this guy.
Nice review. The Emperor looks great with a pair of Royal Guards at his side.
That joint in that neck is definitely something hasbro can improve on , great review
God have I waited for the Senate's review
I feel like this is like the Snoke with the throne: you can get the figure alone, but why? All they do is sit until they shock people. It's like having a Scout Trooper and no speeder bike. Mine is one the way, supposed to be here Friday it says. Yay
@@EdsterIII Bet, it will turn out that Snoke is Palpatine's ghost/clone
I love this figure. Even more so that he came with the chair. But the lightning fingers is amazing.
My amazon preorder is getting delivered tomorrow! Can't wait for the new retool ROTJ Luke to get released later.
wow, he looks scary, especially in the dark
I want him but he's expensive now
If we can get Vader sat on that throne, that'd be all kinds of meta! Maybe sat forward with Palpy dead at his feet and Luke knelt next to the throne ruling the Galaxy.. As father and son.
Mine is arriving next Wednesday. I’m moving my old Palpatine to face off against Mace Windu. Can’t wait to use his force lighting hands against him and swap in one of the new heads.
Add a little bit of foam to the inside of the hole if you can detach the base, it might give it a little bit more height.
This figure looks amazing. Also happy to see classic Gus back. Nothing against Disthunders Mezco version, its great, but the original Gus is just... so good.
I absolutely love this. It's the centre stage for my black series display.
FINALLY!!! Ive been looking forward to this review!
Me too!
Pre-order mine back in May, hopefully I’ll get mine early too. Perhaps I need to check my front porch. Been looking forward to this, all year.

You have finally got your house internet!! 1080p available at last!
Yup, and it is amazing! I'm finally in modern times, haha!
@@TheFwoosh Among all the UA-cam "adult collectable" channels I follows I enjoy yours the most!!!
Definitely getting this! Loved this video!
That's a very nice Gorbachev figure. Lol
8:31 thats what she said.
Great review Robo!
Got this today for Christmas
Levdiniho10 I woke up today and there were no presents
I got one too. He's dominating my shelf now. Great gift.
The smiley face looks great but the other faces look like Freddy Krueger but still worth a buy
Loved the review Robo! You the man! Wrinkly old dude....haha.
Dope love the lightning
Great review, thanks Robo!
Absolutely picking this up asap, I also have to snoke and throne at some point in the future
We need more Gus!
YEAAAH!!!
I have to get this Emperor. He is cool
Unlimited power!!
Every time I look at Palpatine I just feel like he sounds like a chihuahua, despite the fact that I know how he sounds.
Awesome review Robo. My Throne came in with a few scratches.

As a Neca collector use hot water on heads to expand it so it can slot on easily
Wonderful video! Got mine right before Force Friday.
Oh man that's pretty sweet. But I fear I may have missed out... I can't see paying scalper prices for it.
It's still available on amazon for it's original price. Benefits of being their exclusive I suppose.
@@shabbacabba I was able to get one! Thanks for the heads up!

My Palps arrives tomorrow! And I just got my SHF Yoda and Black Series RoTJ Vader today! The set is coming together! So excited =D

Now I really want that throne!
It's also nice that they included a Palpatine accesory as well.
I got this figure 1st of August which was damn early. I pre ordered asap thinking they’d sell out or something.
have you ever heard the tragedy of darth plagueis the wise?
Probably the only time I would ever have preferred hands that hing the other way. That said, I know it's not appropriate but I'd really wanna give him a lightsaber.
All things considered, this release looks like a home run. I'll have to grab it
If you have darth revan, his red saber goes good with Palpatine.
Oh thank you for the much needed laugh. PJ's lol
This is the final Star Wars figure I feel the need to buy so I hope he's not too hard to get here in Canada.
I only collect Original Trilogy Black series as that is where my love is. I hope the line continues.
Check out Amazon.ca 😎
ya know I never thought of this but Gus is an imperial
Great vid love your black series reviews
Man those heads really sell this figure. I had to cancel my order but I may try to pick thi sup later on.

We got Emperor Palpatine.
But I'd love to get a Senate Palpatine.
I wonder if you could put those legs on the Darth Maul. So they actually go together and stuff.
I ordered him in the USA, and I hope I will get him someday
I'm from Germany
So dope!!! Hopefully shf comes out with theirs. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Nice video Robo, more original trilogy Star Wars figures please ,thanks and have a great day pal!
Man, I can not find this for a reasonable price now, it is impossible, anyone knows if Amazon will sell more?
yo same smh. for an amazon exclusive, it sold out quick. now i don't wanna pay scalpers
I love it!
Hey man, thanks for the vid. Got one preordered.
"Nobody is gone forever" Emperor Palpatine has been dead for almost 30 years. I am pretty sure that is close to forever.
Other than the fact that George Lucas always wanted to bring him back?
Shadow assassin
So do you see thirty year old guys and go “wow he’s been around for forever”
@@SpoonDude well no. What I am saying is that he had already die, since it's been thirty years when he fell to his doom. Even if he did survive he would have been dead anyways when the death star exploded.
@Hey McFly exactly.
Thus didn't age well
I am just curious. What comes out on force Friday black series 6 inch wise?
Man I would like a revenge of the Sith version.
I hope Hasbro make another Empe sans the gaming chair and extra heads at a cheaper price point for all of us that missed out on this guy.
How did you take off the plastic robes on the first Palpatine figure??
Can’t wait to order mine off Amazon,I hope they make a Rise of Skywalker one SPOILERS: with glowing eyes or either changing eyes from white to yellow
Mine Is Scheduled to be Delivered Friday! 😊👍 I also have an Original Release Emperor with Rikhor409 Robes and a Custom 3D Printed & Painted Throne, but had to have This Set.

Is it possible to buy the throne separately?
Seriously, though. I have Black Series Emperor, and I need his throne.
where'd you get the third party thrones?
Gotta have it is right.
Jealous you have yours. Pre-ordered mine back in May and it hasn't shipped yet :(
Same here T.T
You want this, don't you? The hate is swelling in you now. Take your Jedi weapon. Use it. I am unarmed. Strike me down with it! Give into your anger! With each passing moment, you make yourself more my servant

I agree 100%.
I'll be repainting the heads to get rid of that blue. Cream with a faint dark wash should do.
Where can I get that shirt!?
riptapparel.com
How much did this originally retail for?
Awesome grab
Any way to get a size (height, width, depth) on this throne? I’m trying to 3D print one myself and can’t get the size just right. Thanks 🙏🏻
Sith Lord, Emperor Gorbachev? lol
Lol that's what I thought as well
his grip hand should be holding Luke's lightsaber. I'm sure you have plenty of extra hilts that you could give him.
I think the lightning hands are reused from asm2 and comic marvel legends electro.
Nope, those were way smaller.
The black splotch just looks normal.
