Toyguide Update: Emperor Palpatine Mini Bust (2015 PG Gift)
The Yakface Toyguide updates resume today as we take a look at the Exclusive 2015 Premier Guild Gift Emperor Palpatine (The Empire Strikes Back) Mini Bust from Gentle Giant.
PROS: Sculpt and paint is well done – especially the robes – with a lot of texture and simulated cloth conveyed through the polyresin material. There are no brittle/thin parts (canes/fingers) to risk damage.
CONS: It is the most basic of the 3 available gift busts available for 2015 PG members. The likeness (while good) is not nearly as definitive as the Darth Sidious but is better than the Return of the Jedi sculpt from 2012. The relaxed pose doesn’t seem fitting for Empire more like something you’d see from The Phantom Menace.
Head to the toyguide for the full image gallery and to judge for yourself whether this bust is worth adding to your collection.
