This is such a Beautiful figure! Hot Toys really knocks old men out of the park! My favorites: Sir Alec Guinness Obi-Wan, Grand Moff Tarkin, old Han Solo, old Luke from last Jedi ❤❤❤
I paid this off back in March. I’m Definitely excited for this figure. I’m going to display him as the Chancellor looking innocent looking at Mace Windu
I was gonna come on here to say that I’ll just wait for ROTS… but now I’ve seen the video may well have to get both! That headsculpt looks an improvement on the prototype - mostly due to the paintwork I think.
It looks great doesn't it!! I wasn't all that bothered about this one tbh, like you say with the ROTS one on the way, but having seen the pics I'm definitely in!! 😃🙌🏻
@@TK421Collectibles You're welcome, love watching stuff like this and yeah the models they make are fantastic, very impressive and getting better as you say, some kind of wizards. lol
FINALLY. Can’t tell you how long I’ve been wondering where this guy in particular was. This is gonna be the only version of palpatine I’m gonna have, I just prefer this aesthetic above the others, and this is also a palpatine fave before he got got by mace windu.
This figure looks awesome. The big bad of the entire Skywalker saga and an absolute must have. my only gripe is that i wish that the lightning bolts were a couple of inches longer. They are great looking, just too short in my opinion. That said, I'll probably display mine with the lightsaber...
I am so pumped! He was my first pre order and papa palps is my favourite character! I am confused tho cause I got an email saying it’s delayed until dec-jan yesterday and then today it released
It's way too much, any other company releases about 5 figures over a 6 month period. It feels like every week we get another Star Wars figure and what's worse is that if you miss the initial preorder window or release date you're gonna have to deal with scalpers that add an extra $200 to all these figures.
Not to be a Debbie Downer or anything, but I think that face sculpt looks more like Sylvester McCoy than Ian McDiarmid! 😄 Decent figure though, but when it comes to Rey's gramps, The Emperor is the only Palps for me! 👍
Hahah duuuude!! What have you done!! It does look like Sylvester McCoy now you mention it! I need to get that idea out of my head before the figure arrives! 🤣
@@TK421Collectibles Honestly mate, when watching this vid, I just thought he had a strong resemblance to him, but after just doing a pic search of McCoy, I'm like, "Holy crap!!" 😮 I'm now starting to think Hot Toys have mistakenly used the wrong Scottish actor as reference! 😂😂 Interesting(?) sidenote: I went round to my mum's yesterday who told me she's going on a scenic coach trip to Dunoon in Scotland tomorrow.. Guess who I've just found out was born in Dunoon? Only Sylvester bloody McCoy!! How mad is that? 🤣🤣
I guess it would be too pricey if they moved away from the current LED system. But I dunno. Could definitely do with being a bit brighter!! Thanks for watching 🙌🏻
I didn't notice tbh!! But I'm sure I will see I on the figure when it arrives. Wonder if thats how we access the rolling eyes on this one rather than under the head. If it's mega noticeable at least like you say it's at the back, plus we got the hood option. Thanks for checking out the vid 🙌🏻

Couldn't agree more mate! All those you listed are some of my favourite figures in the collection! 🙌🏻
@TK421Collectibles 😊

Thats a great idea!! I wonder if we'll ever get a MMS Chancellor Palpatine at some point. But this should do the job nicely 🙌🏻
Dew it, purchase him and your journey to the dark side will be complete!
Haha!! Definitely purchasing, I hope you are too!! 😃🙌🏻
I think you’re right. The key to this figure is being able to set the hood properly. Great video.
Cheers Nefty!!! And thanks for checking out the video 👊🏻

That looks amazing, the level of detail Hot toys does is next level craftsmanship.
Yeah and the scary thing is they seem to get better and better with each release!! 😅 Thanks for watching 🙌🏻

Yeah thats a great point actually! It's the character before Mace messed him up isn't it!! and yeah he's been a long wait! Thanks for watching 🙌🏻
Looks a great one. Not sure which figure I'd get next
So much choice at the moment!!
I'm confused. I literally just got an email that this figure is delayed to dec-jan??
Same! Makes no sense!
He's released in Hong Kong - I'm guessing you ordered via Sideshow and they distribute a few weeks/months after the day one Hong Kong release 👍🏻
Sidious is a must.
💯 !! Looks awesome!
My first ever Hot Toys preorder was this figure. I can't wait 🎉
Woo! Congrats 🥳 Looks like a great choice as your first pre-order! Thanks for checking out the vid 🙌🏻
I can’t keep up! At least I might get an older Emperor figure for a sensible price at some point!
Mate it's crazyyy. Definitely have to be some changes next year, time to start getting selective! 😅
@ you’ll need to buy a new house to get more room!!
🤣🤣🤣

They do look a bit teeny don't they! But like you I likely won't use them anyway 🙂 Cheers for watching 🙌🏻
😎 A very good figure 👍 😱😱y'all gonna have to throw your anorak away if you can't remember Ian's name lad 😂😂
I'm shite with names ngl! 😅
I am so pumped! He was my first pre order and papa palps is my favourite character! I am confused tho cause I got an email saying it’s delayed until dec-jan yesterday and then today it released
ig sideshows just that slow at shipping
Released in Hong Kong, but Sideshow take a few weeks/months to get their batch to distribute 👍🏻
Hopefully they will re-use the headsculpt for a Chancellor Palpatine.
They would be crazy not to!! 🙌🏻
Mmmm yes it’s too much atm.. I do love him in the Clone Wars and am still interested to get him.. but i guess I’ll get him at some point
There's a lot of releases at the moment aren't there. Too many really! 😅

When will be available for Sideshow?
Probably the next few weeks to a couple of months 👍🏻
They just keep coming! lol
It's been a crazy few weeks!! 😅

🤣🤣 thats some crazy coincidence!!!!
Too bad the lightsabers don’t look like that IRL. How Hot Toys still haven’t developed a fully lit saber blade is beyond me.
I guess it would be too pricey if they moved away from the current LED system. But I dunno. Could definitely do with being a bit brighter!! Thanks for watching 🙌🏻
i like it tooo
wooo! 😃 🙌🏻
Mr Burns in real life anyone ???
🤣🤣🤣
That seam across the hair is dreadful. Good job no-ones displaying him from the back.
