exactly, Rule of the Two Sith is a title; only two of them; you may be a powerful and cruel dark side user but that doesn't make you one of the two Sith.
Fun fact: Ian Mcdiarmid was initially cast for jedi just to do the body, but on set, he used a voice anyway, and Lucas liked it so much he didn't get someone to dub. The same thing also happened with Anthony Daniel's as C3-PO in a new hope
I hope they do a ROTS Chancellor Palpatine using the same sculpt. If they do, when using the same sculpt, they should instead not have the removable headpiece to access the eyes which reveals the sharks teeth, but include a moving tool so you access control of the eyes from under the neck. Or the same principle as the recent Obi Wan sculpts.
Got mine in a few days ago and absolutely love it. This is going to be my one iteration of palpatine in my collection due to lack of space. Since he can double both as sidious and chancellor before he got got by mace!
Got got by Mace? Sidious was unbothered: "He didn't have to wait long. Mace Windu arrived with three other Jedi Masters to arrest the chancellor. Reveling in being able to at last act openly, Darth Sidious launched himself at his foes. He battered them with a wave of focused hatred. A thousand years of Sith anger smashed into the Jedi, and three of them died in seconds under Sidious' crimson blade. Mace Windu lasted a little longer, but only because Darth Sidious required it. Anakin was not there, not yet. Sidious fought defensively, toying with Windu untill he sensed the youths presence. He allowed Windu to gain the upper hand as Anakin arrived. Seemingly mutilated, Sidious was near death, begging Anakin to help him. Only he could help him save Padme. Anakin made his choice, exactly as Sidious had anticipated." 2022 Disney/Lucasfilm/fanhome encyclopedia collection "Toying with the Jedi Master in anticipation of the arrival of Anakin Skywalker, Palpatine was willing to allow himself to be disarmed to appear more vulnerable when his soon to be apprentice arrived. His office window was shattered, and the weapon fell from his hands and down into the depths below when he deliberately left himself open for Widu to deliver a kick to his chest. This left him a single blade, retrieved from its hiding place, with which to face master yoda in a duel, a little after the death of Mace Windu. Palpatine rarely used his remaining lightsaber." "His true form was now revealed, though he later passed it off as an "injury" from the Jedi attack, Darth Sidious toyed with Mace Windu. He used the jedi master to precipitate Anakins fall to the dark side and then destroyed Windu utterly." Disney/lucasfilm/ Fanhome Encyclopedia collection 2022 "During the confrontation with Mace Windu, the office window was smashed. Soon after, Palpatines weapon fell onto the streets of Coruscant, but it was all part of the Sith's plan." 2022 disney/lucasfilm/ fanhome encyclopedia collection
@ by “got got” I was referring to the injuries to his face he got while fighting him. I’m just meaning as far as hot toys figures goes this is currently the only iteration of pre melted face sheeve
I can tell you enjoyed posing this figure. You put so many poses up at the end. The lightening integrated hands were magnificent. Justin, thanks for the review and enabling of the community. 😁
I would much prefer the lightsaber blades to be painted like they are glowing, or at least include options like those along with the clear translucent plastic
6:28 This is exactly why I got this figure. And pretty much how I'm going to display him, standing with his apprentices. So "benevolent", so very pleased with himself and with how everything is proceeding as he has foreseen. 😈 Hood up also looks fantastic and 100% The Clone Wars but it's another one of those cases where hiding the Ian McDiarmid head sculpt would just be a crying shame.
This figure was a missed opportunity. We could’ve gotten a chancellor palpatine with that red outfit from revenge of the sith. They could’ve used this same head, except make the hair whiter.
Oh I would _so_ display this *Darth Sidious/Chancellor Palpatine* right next to the old man *Emperor Palpatine* figure; what a pairing! The non-wired *Lightsabers* would go in DS/CP’s hands, and I’d put his *Sith Lightning* on the EP figure… Uh-oh, I’m doing that thing I do wherein I picture it so clearly, in my head, that my bank account starts to ugly-cry, lol! 😆 Luv ya, Justin! 🤟🏻 *_#MayTheForceBeWithYou_**_… Always!_*
Kinda nerdy but the only issue with this is that the hilts are supposed to be different colors. Where there are brown/green-ish areas on the main one (the version that was used for the Master Replicas hilt and more recent replicas), the other one should be more black. And obviously they are usually chromed but they were matte in the show so that's fine. But they did represent the difference in color in the show
@@JustinsCollection haha yeah! Just google "clone wars sidious", you'll be able to see it on any picture where he is holding both lightsabers in plain sight, the one where he has them crossed for example. Hilt on the left side is the black-ish one
I was on the fence with this guy. I had to choose between this Sidious and the Revenge of the Sith version. I’m so glad I picked this guy! Now all I need is a 2.0 Return of the Jedi version and then I’m set.
Justin, I’ve heard your criticism about the lightsaber “swooshing” effects tons of times now, but if I’m being honest, I’m having a hard time visualizing the effect you would prefer, even with your description of it. Do you have a physical example, or could you sketch an example and show it in the next review where the issue comes up?
For the swooshing effect, have a look at the play arts variant Darth Vader from Square Enix. It's a little exagerated with the flames but maybe it's a little more effective
I was considering cancelling this figure but once it released I really think it’s even better than the prototype and now I can’t wait to get it in hand!
For the lightsabers...does the black box that activates the sabers require a constant power source or does that black box charge on its own? I don't have any other HT that require power and a quick google didn't answer my question.
1:40 I wanna know mr palps tailor like he had to tell him that he wanted hood where only his chin was shown and they just completely fine wiht making it😭 like surly u would question why ur senator wants ominous hood like that
Love Clone Wars but never interested in HT offerings. Little upset with this figure as it creates desire. Head sculpt it amazing. Head should have been included in the upcoming ROTS version as a second head.
Would it be possible to use some heat to alter the position of the swooshing lightsaber effects peg? Or do you think that would cause to much damage to the stability of the plastic
I am so excited for this figure, preordered him since day one and it was worth the wait, the only thing I think will complement him is a headsculpt with the sith eyes, and also that his lightsaber hilts are small, he can just grab them with a single hand, it would be nice that the lightsabers can be hold with both hands in case you want to display with a single lightsaber stance, the zig zag separation on his head is very remarkable, however I am displaying him with the hood all time so that is not an issue for me, waiting for mine to arrive
Así me gustaría pero en vintage collection con los dos sables y que cambie de cara así como en el episodio 3 la figura que si está bien pero está mal articulada
We need USB for these figures , I change my statement on button cell bay, we need USB’s with wires through the figure instead of open up the back of figures
Oh Shit!!! Excuse my Language, Justin! Hot Toys truly Killed the Darth Sidious Figure, Really Good!!! No Doubt, Movie Accurate Indeed! I Love it a whole Lot! Especially his Lightning Fingers Effects, Red Lightsaber, and the Rest of the Accessories as well! Excellent Content as always! You have a Wonderful Weekend, Friend! ⚡️⚡️⚡️👍👍
Fantastic figure! Agree with you on all points, Justin - and thanks for the review. Still waiting on mine, but just curious: Will the old Emperor Palpatine head fit on the Sidious body? I’d assume yes? That way, some people who want a Revenge of the Sith look can just swap out the heads if they wanted to say, create a Yoda vs. Sidious diorama ( without forking over more cash for the ROTS version, I mean).
Such a shame they didn t put the sith eyes. Very inaccurate. I ordered mine anyway and i ll paint the eyes like it supposed to be. He had the sith eyes in the battle against maul and savage. Check the battle from this frame and you can clearly see the sith eyes. th-cam.com/video/QaVYu0LPsSU/w-d-xo.html
Ambitious of you to try and review the entire Senate in a single video.
This comment deserves recognition
Damn I love this comment haha
That head is so good. The looking up under the hood with head down and his fingers doing the Simpsons Burns Pose would be perfect
It is!
Remember, the first and only reality of the Sith. There can only be two. And you are no longer my apprentice. You have been replaced.
Yes true

I so did!
Got this on order, great figure and review! Just bagged the artisan Joker, a very happy man indeed!
Sick!
THIS GUY LOOKS AMAZING I LOVE THE LIGHTNING EFFECTS⭐🌟🌟🌟🌟
He does!
Even though the fight scene with Maul and Savage is top tier I prefer the episode 3 look with that sinister grin and glowing eyes.
Fair both are contenders for me
We will be getting that one fortunately!
Agreed HT nailed it! Nice review Justin
They did!
They made the perfect expression for this hs. Beautiful piece! Great review!
So good!
I would much prefer the lightsaber blades to be painted like they are glowing, or at least include options like those along with the clear translucent plastic
True! I think they could do it
Love it. The collar is higher like in the clone wars cartoon sidious vs maul vs savage oppress ❤️
Ah that’s why they changed it

Yeah I'm struggling to decide how to display him still!
I like the hands with the blue lighting, an Amazing figure.
Same!
Great head sculpt!
It is!
This figure was a missed opportunity. We could’ve gotten a chancellor palpatine with that red outfit from revenge of the sith. They could’ve used this same head, except make the hair whiter.
I hope we get that one day.
yeah i get that, but for me i grew up watching the clone wars and his fight with maul and savage is so cool, this figure i like a dream for me lol
That's what I thought as well, but he does wear this while fighting Yoda so I was sold LOL
Couldn’t have said it better honestly. That’s the look I want the most
@@MarcAttack it would perfectly coincide with the mace windy and Anakin figures.
"Even though the line across the back of my hair may look scarred and deformed, my head sculpt has never been stronger!"
LOL
My wallet: Have mercy, please, please!!
This figure: There is no mercy…
Damn haha
Oh I would _so_ display this *Darth Sidious/Chancellor Palpatine* right next to the old man *Emperor Palpatine* figure; what a pairing! The non-wired *Lightsabers* would go in DS/CP’s hands, and I’d put his *Sith Lightning* on the EP figure…

Fusion reactors is working on these lightsaber for sure ❤.

A very Massive thanks once again Justin for the 46 times Hearts! Thanks, Buddy! 🤜⚡️🤛
My pleasure sir!
@JustinsCollection 🤜⚡️🤛
I like the clone wars version of Darth Sidious
Me too!
@@JustinsCollection I know right I love his voice so much and I like his fight style too
Can’t wait for mine arrived! And I do love CW Darth Maul also got Savage Opress on PO for my CW display to shine even more!
Nice!
Once you get the new Savage oppress, you can make the whole fight scene with maul and Savage
Yes!
Awesome figure thanks 🙏 for the look at him
My pleasure!
I have the Return of the Jedi version and have the Revenge of the Sith version pre-ordered. This does look good but not sure if I really need it.
Fair
There he finally is
Yes!
Love your videos can’t wait to see this one
Awesome!
Plagues would be proud of what sheev had accomplish !
Yes!
I would love see someone make a figure of a teenage sheev with his first lightsaber ! I love the Darth plagues novel .
Justin, I’ve heard your criticism about the lightsaber “swooshing” effects tons of times now, but if I’m being honest, I’m having a hard time visualizing the effect you would prefer, even with your description of it. Do you have a physical example, or could you sketch an example and show it in the next review where the issue comes up?
I’ll figure out another way to explain it then
For the swooshing effect, have a look at the play arts variant Darth Vader from Square Enix. It's a little exagerated with the flames but maybe it's a little more effective
Having a hard time deciding between this and the ROTS one. I like the colors, plus the duel lightsabers...
Fair
Such an awesome figure.
He is!
I would love to get this figure for Christmas and the head sculpt looks cool and evil and here's something from Sidious,Do it.
Hope you get him!
I was considering cancelling this figure but once it released I really think it’s even better than the prototype and now I can’t wait to get it in hand!
Yeah he is better imo
Nice figure
He is!
4:01 in old republic times or even before that their lightsabers where battery powered idk just reminds of that
Haha nice one
Too bad we don't get swappable eyes. That head sculpt with sith eyes would look incredible.
I still don’t t understand why they didn’t put the sith eyes. He has yellow eyes during thst battle in the series. Very inaccurate from hot toys
Agreed
It is possible to pop the eyes out. I accidentally did this with Thrawn. Popped right back in, no problem. So maybe maybe maybe…?
I been looking forward to this…
Nice!
There is NO WAY I would hide that headsculpt with the hood!!!! Damn, I´m in trouble!
Yeah same I’m struggling
Great review, his expression reads creepy as hell…don’t be surprised if he comes to life at night and mess up your collection 😂😂😂😂
Damn haha
For the lightsabers...does the black box that activates the sabers require a constant power source or does that black box charge on its own? I don't have any other HT that require power and a quick google didn't answer my question.
It requires constant power it is not a battery pack
We like watching your channel on all of your Star Wars 1/6 scale unboxing which lighted light saver would you recommend?
Thanks
Fusion Reactors!
very good
Thanks!
I am really hoping for a new Qui-Gon figure to come out, + a ep 1 Obi-Wan
Same!
Big fan from Kuwait
Hey!
@ pls come to Kuwait some time
7:12 - Ah yes, He insists upon himself.
Lol
Just recently got this figure, but I’m wondering if the hood could cause potential staining on his head.
It's possible but not a certainty, we just have to risk it and find out
1:40 I wanna know mr palps tailor like he had to tell him that he wanted hood where only his chin was shown and they just completely fine wiht making it😭 like surly u would question why ur senator wants ominous hood like that
Lol
This is him from Clone Wars, where he visits Maul on Mandalor.
Yeah
2:01 isn’t this same cloak he has in revenge of the sith too or are they super similar
Similar yeah
Love Clone Wars but never interested in HT offerings. Little upset with this figure as it creates desire. Head sculpt it amazing. Head should have been included in the upcoming ROTS version as a second head.
Yeah true it should have been
People do shrink as they get older, so I think it fits.
And realistically, the Emperor will be in the chair 9/10.
Noice
Does the headsculpt exchangeable with the previous palpatine version? Or 3rd party palpatine headsculpt maybe?
Not sure I didn’t try
" You have become a Rival."
Love it
Hey Justin I love your content but please do Spider-Man 2 venom the BIG ONE
He’s not out yet unfortunately
Would it be possible to use some heat to alter the position of the swooshing lightsaber effects peg? Or do you think that would cause to much damage to the stability of the plastic
No I don’t think so unfortunately
When is it coming out in California?
No idea, sorry!
Should have been LED’s incorporated into both force lightning hands.
Agreed
Hey Justin, slight tangent, but will you be reviewing Yan Toys Universe Emperor & their Red Guard?
No plans at this time for them
Pleather strikes again. Seriously these people need to stop using it.
@@chadpeterson5698 I don’t think they’ll stop using it as long as we keep buying it and as long as Howard Chan is still in charge.
Yes they need to stop!
I'm excited to have him? I missed the 1st one
Are you asking me? If so you are excited yes!
@JustinsCollection lol. I made a typo. It's gonna be a great figure to have. I always wanted the 1st one but I ordered the this and the next one.
