Supreme Leader Snoke (Throne Room) — Star Wars The Black Series
The Black Series Supreme Leader Snoke (Throne Room) — GameStop/ThinkGeek exclusive, October 2017. $39.99. 1.5× standard height. 18 joints, no wrists. Removable belt, two-piece throne (throne + floor panel — looks fantastic), golden robe glued at neck. Head sculpt outstanding with scars and grooves. $20 premium justified. Re-released without throne as id=9106.
Overview
Supreme Leader Snoke (Throne Room) is an October 2017 GameStop and ThinkGeek exclusive at $39.99 — $20 above standard single-card pricing for the inclusion of a throne. That premium is explicitly stated as worth it: the throne is detailed, big, and makes for a fantastic display piece, and the complete seated Snoke configuration has an environmental presence that a standalone figure lacks. The same figure was later re-released in the basic Black Series assortment without the throne (id=9106) for collectors who only wanted the figure.
Snoke stands approximately 1.5 times taller than a standard Black Series 6” figure — physically imposing in a way that reflects the character’s screen presence. 18 joints — no ball-jointed wrists on this tooling.
The Figure
18 joints: ball-jointed neck, ball-jointed shoulders, swivel joints above and below elbows, ball-jointed torso, ball-jointed hips, swivel thighs, swivel joints above and below knees, ball-jointed ankles. The golden soft-goods robe is glued onto the figure around the neck and is not removable. The belt is its own piece and unplugs at the front — removable. The ring on Snoke’s left hand is sculpted in place and not removable. The Space Slippers are sculpted and painted onto the feet.
The head sculpt is the figure’s visual centrepiece: beautifully sculpted with lots of scars and grooves rendered in detail. Snoke looks relatively plain underneath the robes, but the figure is designed to be displayed clothed — the robe configuration is the intended display state.
The Throne
Two-piece: the actual throne body plus a floor panel that attaches to its base. The throne looks fantastic — detailed and scaled appropriately to Snoke’s above-standard height. Snoke fits onto it well. The two-piece construction allows display with or without the floor panel extension for different shelf configurations. For collectors building a Supremacy throne room display alongside the Guards 4-Pack and the Praetorian Guards, Snoke’s throne is the environmental anchor the scene needs.
The Versus Comparison
The re-release without throne (id=9106) is available to collectors who want the figure alone at standard pricing. The Throne Room version is the definitive version — not because the figure itself is different, but because Snoke without a throne is a character without context. The scene is the point. The $20 premium buys the scene, not just the character.
Secondary Market
GameStop/ThinkGeek exclusive, October 2017. Two throne components to verify: throne body and floor panel. The removable belt is the smallest accessory.
Verdict
Supreme Leader Snoke (Throne Room) is one of the Phase 3 Red Line’s more straightforward value propositions: a beautifully sculpted oversized villain figure with a two-piece throne that earns the $20 premium over single-card pricing. The glued robe is the only practical limitation. As a display centrepiece for a throne room scene, it delivers exactly what it promises.
