Minibust: Emperor Palpatine

Manufacturer: Gentle Giant Studios Release Date: 01 Apr 2006 MSRP: 49.99 USD Country: United States

Description: Gentle Giant artisans have captured the fearsome essence of the dark side's most sinister agent, Emperor Palpatine, in the form of this striking new addition to the mini bust series. The powerful Sith Lord, who secretly maneuvered himself into a position of power within the Senate, declared himself Emperor and gave the order to exterminate all Jedi Knights. Despite his disfigurement, he appeared before the assembled politicians of the Republic, and gave a stirring speech of how he narrowly escaped a treacherous Jedi rebellion. He assured the people of the Republic that his resolve had not faltered. He had routed out the treachery that had entangled the Republic in the Clone Wars. He would flense the corruption from the bloated bureaucracy that strangled the august government and reform it, as a new, more powerful, more secure institution. Here, Palpatine is captured in the heat of battle, against whatever Jedi would dare confront him. This fantastic sculpture is sure to enhance Gentle Giant's already popular series of mini busts -- display him against Yoda, Mace, or among a group of his devoted clone troopers. This is one mini bust that commands attention in any display setting. The Emperor Palpatine 1/6 scale Mini Bust measures 6.25 inches tall with an edition size TBD.
