Sheev Palpatine, better known as Darth Sidious, is one of the most pivotal figures in the Star Wars universe, orchestrating the fall of the Jedi Order and the rise of the Galactic Empire. Hot Toys has captured his appearance from Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith™ with a newly announced 1/6th scale collectible figure, highlighting both his political persona and Sith identity.

The new collectible figure features two interchangeable head sculpts — one depicting Palpatine’s refined political appearance and the other showing his deformed visage following his confrontation with Mace Windu. The figure is dressed in a finely tailored outfit made from textured fabrics, accurately capturing the character’s appearance from the film.

Accessories include a lightsaber, an LED-lighted lightsaber for display purposes, and a specially designed figure base.
