• Emperor Palpatine (The Republic Falls) was released in the "The Sith" Evolution 3-pack
• The other two figures in this 3-pack were Darth Maul (The Sith Return) and Count Dooku (The Clone Wars)
• Palpatine can hold the lightsaber well in the right hand
• The walking stick fits only very loosely into the right hand
• It's questionable if including a walking stick makes sense for this version of Palpatine because of the overly aggressive looking head sculpt
• The soft-goods Sith robe is too big - and it looks too bulky on the figure
• The robe clasp is its own piece and can be removed
• Hasbro included a second set of hands in this set - which have blue Force Lightning effects attached to them
• The hands can either be used on Count Dooku - or on Emperor Palpatine
• Palpatine a.k.a. Darth Sidious stands well without help from a stand

After thousands of years, the Sith reveal themselves to the Jedi. Witness their evolution with these Sith figures! Darth Maul attacks the Jedi, revealing that the Sith are still a threat to the galaxy. Then Count Dooku, a former Jedi, comes out of hiding as a Sith Lord to attack the Republic. Finally, the Emperor, who should be fighting to save the Republic, is revealed as the most powerful and menacing Sith of all!
