The crimson-clad protectors of the Galactic Emperor, the Emperor’s Royal Guard, returned to The Vintage Collection in 2021 as part of Wave 34. Originally released in 2012, this figure has long been hailed as one of the best iterations of the character in any scale. The 2021 reissue brought this elite sentinel back to retail, allowing collectors to finally build out a proper ceremonial guard for their Throne Room displays without paying exorbitant secondary market prices.

Technical Details & Sculpt

• Design & Silhouette: The figure captures the enigmatic and imposing silhouette of the Royal Guard with striking accuracy. The helmet is a separate, non-removable piece that features a high-gloss finish, contrasting beautifully with the deep crimson of the robes.
• Attire & Soft-Goods: A standout feature of VC105 is the premium soft-goods cloak. The fabric is specifically chosen for its weight and drape, allowing it to hang naturally over the figure’s shoulders while hiding the "super-articulated" body underneath, just as seen in the films.
• Under-Armor Detail: Beneath the velvet-like cloak, the figure features a fully sculpted suit of crimson combat armor. This armor is based on the "Crimson Empire" Expanded Universe designs, giving the figure a combat-ready look if the cloak is removed.
• Articulation: Featuring premium TVC articulation, including ball-jointed shoulders, elbows, and knees. The use of soft-goods ensures that the articulation is never hindered, allowing for both rigid ceremonial poses and dynamic combat stances.

Accessories & Equipment

The Emperor’s Royal Guard comes equipped with his signature Force Pike, molded in a dark metallic grey. Additionally, for fans of the Crimson Empire comics, the figure includes a heavy blaster pistol and a vibro-blade, both of which can be utilized when the figure is displayed in its "uncloaked" combat armor mode.
