New Amazon Exclusive Hasbro Star Wars Black Series Emperor Palpatine Promo Images!

As the release date (and San Diego Comic Con) looms, we get new promotional images for the Amazon exclusive Star Wars Black Series Emperor with throne!

You can still pre-order Palpatine here.

Just for reference, here are the original promo pics from back around Celebration.

The package shot above is just a mock-up, missing the inner tray.

These new images show more of what we can expect to receive. The presentation is sharp and the robes lay a little more natural around the hood.

I feel like the faces are just as scary but suffer a bit from the new “shiny face” trend we’re seeing in current Photo Real in the line. A spritz of Dullcote on Palpy is no problem, and it actually kind of works for his burnt look, but it jumped out at me.

Like I said, it’s still up for pre-order on Amazon for $40 with an October ship date.
