“Let the hate flow through you.” – Emperor Palpatine

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 their Star Wars classic trilogy collectible series, Hot Toys introduces 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, and a pair of Force Lightning effect parts.

A Deluxe Version will also be available which includes Emperor’s Imperial throne with great details and LED light-up function as well as Luke Skywalker’s lightsaber hilt!
