Reaching a major milestone in the line, the 200th figure in the Star Wars: The Vintage Collection is none other than the master of the Dark Side himself, The Emperor. Based on his appearance in Return of the Jedi, this figure captures Sheev Palpatine at the height of his galactic dominion as he oversees the construction of the second Death Star and the ultimate trap for the Rebel Alliance.

Technical Details & Sculpt

• Character Likeness: The head sculpt utilizes photo-real deco to capture the pale, withered visage of Ian McDiarmid. The sunken eyes and sinister smirk are rendered with chilling accuracy, embodying the pure malice of the Sith Lord.
• Attire: This figure is a masterclass in the use of mixed media. It features a premium soft-goods robe with a distinct texture and an integrated hood that is designed to sit naturally over the head without the "bulkiness" often seen in smaller scales. Underneath, the sculpt includes his inner robes and specialized footwear.
• Articulation: While his character is less physically active, the figure features modern articulation including ball-jointed shoulders, elbows, and wrists. The leg articulation is largely hidden by the robes but allows for seated poses on a throne or a steady, menacing walk through the throne room.
• Display Utility: As VC200, this figure is a centerpiece for any collection. It is the essential companion to Darth Vader (VC115) and Luke Skywalker (Endor), completing the iconic trio for the final confrontation above Endor.

Accessories & Equipment

The Emperor comes with his signature accessories for galactic conquest. He includes his dark wood-textured cane, which he can hold naturally in his right hand. Additionally, the figure features Force Lightning hand effects—translucent blue tendrils of energy that can be swapped out to recreate his assault on Luke Skywalker.
