February 2, 2018 by Amie Cranswick

SUPPORT FLICKERING MYTH: Pre-order via Sideshow Collectibles

And here’s the deluxe version…

Scheming, powerful, and evil to the core, Darth Sidious restored the Sith and destroyed the Jedi Order. Living a double life, Sidious was in fact Palpatine, a Naboo Senator and phantom menace. He slowly manipulated the political system of the Galactic Republic until he was named Supreme Chancellor — and eventually Emperor — ruling the galaxy through fear and tyranny.

Today, in expansion of our Star Wars classic trilogy collectible series, Hot Toys is pleased to officially introduce the 1/6th scale collectible figure of the evil Sith lord Emperor Palpatine!

The highly-accurate collectible figure is specially crafted based on the appearance of Emperor Palpatine in Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi. It features a newly developed head sculpt with remarkable likeness, specialized body and finely sculpted hands, Emperor’s cane, a pair of Force Lightning effect parts, and a highly detailed throne!
