Hot Toys Star Wars Emperor Palpatine (Deluxe) Review

GubernatorFan wrote:I take it you are trying to make your own. I don't have those, but maybe someone else has them and can help. I imagine you have googled this already. Have you looked on Shapeways for printable scale models? -- although given the size, I rather doubt they will have those for sixth scale (moreover, depending on the source material used they may be correct or incorrect).

The writing could be a lot better, but bear in mind it was quickly translated from the original German (not by me).

Ovy, you're the best! Thank you for helping out.

And haha, just now realized the trooper is the guy on your avatar. When I looked for the pic i stumbled upon his Wookieepedia entry. Like every character who was on screen longer than one second he has an expansive back story.

But the real reason I posted this is because I was suspecting that our friend with the beautiful looking name bpvxvqd might be a droid. Or some next generation information gathering AI. Of course bpvxvqd could easily prove us otherwise with other response lines

There's that too, but I just appreciated your willingness (and ability) to help, by posting the link to the 3D blueprints.

And that ("droid") did cross my mind, but if you scroll back there was enough variety ("is there any more" and the posting of images by the beautifully-named bpvxvqd) to suggest this is a person -- although perhaps there is a language barrier and the re-pasting of standard translated text. Anyway, I did get your reference.

Take a good look at the actual review, on the first page of this thread. Especially the fourth photo. I do not know what their actual function is (or is supposed to be). They are silverish "greeblies" (detail elements) added to make the throne look more high-tech. Although there is not a good photo showing it, it appears that the 3D model at the link already provided by Ovy a few posts above includes this detail. So if you are going to do a 3D print, downloading and using that 3D model should take care of this detail.

Just checking: are you a human being?  Your repeated post without personal message leads to the suspicion that you might be a bot, though the lack of a sales link gives hope, so a human sign would be much appreciated. Thank you!
