tomandshell said:After seeing what they did with Dr. Doom, I am hoping they give us a Palpatine seated on his ROTJ throne. That would make it a really unique piece in the line, and fit with the emphasis (so far) on classic representations of the characters in the 1/4 scale series.
elwood49 said:As much as I would love to see that, I doubt Lucasfilm would allow a statue so similar in appearance to the Attakus one. Lucas tends to force companies to create a unique pose for each of their products.

TheObsoleteMan said:I know I've seen more than one piece of merchandise featuring the Emperor parked in his chair.
I'm no expert on statues, so I'll just take your word for it.elwood49 said:Name one. Toys are a completely different market, so they don't count.
In fact, I'll even go one better and ask you to name ANY 2 Star Wars high-end pieces that have the same pose.
It really makes sense if you think about it. Do you want to see a GG Emperor on throne, a SS Emperor on throne, an Attakus Emperor on Throne, maybe a future Cinemaquette Emperor on throne?..... If there is no variety, then no one will cross the various lines to purchase the different products. The fact that I've nearly bought the Attakus Emperor so many times tells me that the strategy is effective.
Lucas approves all of the poses for the various pieces. I'm sure someone from SS can chime in with the exact procedure.
