• This Emperor Palpatine figure was released single carded in 2008 during The Legacy Collection

• This Emperor Palpatine figure is based on his holographic appearance in The Empire Strikes Back, but in a non-holographic form
• Hasbro included a removable plastic hood, a cane, a lightsaber and a soft-goods robe
• The robe is unfortunately very bulky and long, and it will take some time to make it look good on the figure

• The head sculpt looks very creepy and cool
