I was genuinely shocked how underwhelmed I was with this release (i got fig and throne originally) - it just seemed like a no-brainer that HT + Palps would be a stellar home run. Especially after figs like Tarkin. I've made my peace with the fig and found a pose I like but it was a lot more effort than you would have thought.

I think that mod also helps the hands to look less oversized.

I love the Emperor and throne it’s a great figure and has an amazing sculpt.
I would say it and Tarkin are my favorites due to the sculpts.
Thought I’d share some pics of my setup. As usual pics aren’t great hope you like them.
Holy crap, this is one of the best setups I've seen. Pure Imperial evil !
Love the second and third pics with the guards flanking Emperor, Vader and Tarkin. Really emphasises their number. 4 is awesome by the way !

Got my regular Palpatine this week, after some futzing with the hood I'm happy with his look (didn't need to cut any of the threads either). Had a play around with photos today too.

Thanks Hoody! I was trying to get as close to the arrival scene as possible with the guards. A lot of awesome pics in this thread!
How people could be disappointed with this figure is mind boggling to me. Good thing HTs works off financial gain instead of customer appreciation.
Great shots Noengaruth! Vader about to toss the Emperor is badass!

We’re just too picky. Asking so boldly for things like a Palps chair that fits, a Leia dress that isn’t too short, correct color of ANH Wookiee fur, an Anakin full length cloak...

If you wanna keep collecting and being unhappy then by all means have at it. Personally if i had to complain about the items i spent my money on i would start spending my money on other items whether it be this hobby or one of my other hobbies.
Those are outstanding pictures from both of you guys!

The pics in particular with Vader carrying the Emperor and the crossed lightsabers with him in the background are great.

Great photos! You've really captured some great detail in the figure.
I don’t have this figure with throne in hand yet. But having the regular briefly it would not be too high on my figure of the year list.
TLJ Luke is easily it for me when it comes to Star Wars. I’d potentially put TLJ Leia higher too. Yondu easily tops Emperor too. Can’t remember all the figures though for 2018. Would need to see a full list.

I missed this part of your story, TonTon... did you sell your regular and upgrade to Emp + throne?
