    I’m sure that any dentist who just saw the close up picture of the mouth would shudder in absolute horror to the condition of the teeth.. I’m wondering if the Sideshow sculpters actually did consult with someone in the dentistry/orthodontic field? I have to say though that this one could be used to scare the heck out of someone on Halloween or something else.. Pretty wicked looking, there’s no doubt about which side of the force ‘ole Palpatine was on.

    Wow, if you didn’t think the Emporer is pure EVIL all you have to do is get this bust.

    Wow, you have captured the true EVIL to perfection!!!!

    Wow, what to say. Picked up life-size Vader with manaquin at C4, have the cloak, master replica’s cane hmmmm could get another manakin and have a life-size emperor next to my Darth. That will do donkey.

    that dewd needs to floss and brush his teeth :-x

    Sign me up for one of those, it’s an awesome looking preview, and will be the ideal counterpart for a Vader piece too.

    I think this is going to sell out in record time, so if there is anyway of getting a timeline for the pre-order, that would be great too!

  28. January 25th, 2008 at 3:38 pm Custromikey says:

    My God, that’s beautiful. Marvelous work! I can’t wait to be able to afford him!
  29. January 25th, 2008 at 3:35 pm Exor says:

    All this attention to Palpatine makes me giddy with excitement. Finally, someone is recognizing that Palpatine is the most important character in Star Wars.
  30. January 25th, 2008 at 1:29 pm Luca says:

    FANTASTIC!!! May I use the word fantastic next to Palpatine?:)Thanks Sideshow!

  37. January 25th, 2008 at 10:21 am Shanester says:

  38. January 25th, 2008 at 9:55 am Andy says:

  39. January 25th, 2008 at 8:54 am Mr. School Bus Yellow says:

    Such perfect and pearly yellowish browns. Gotta love that smile. It’s enough to turn one’s stomach…or to turn one’s father to the DARK SIDE!!! Bring it on!!!
  40. January 25th, 2008 at 8:14 am Iggy says:

    POWERRRR.. UNLIMITED POWER.. That is a awsome piece to place next to my lifesize YODA.. If that Palpatine bust looks that real I can even say that it is my grandfather and we are keeping him home. LOL

    NICE WORK SSC..
  41. January 25th, 2008 at 8:04 am DarthBaz says:

    Sideshow – I HATE YOU! I LOVE IT!
  42. January 25th, 2008 at 5:47 am Leigh Trevis, Birmingham says:

    so be it… young JEDI.
  43. January 25th, 2008 at 5:19 am Cy Winward says:

    The promient snarl looks excellent. I hope the final product lives up to expectations I have for. “At last the sith shall rule the galaxy, and we shall have BUSTS!!”.
  44. January 25th, 2008 at 5:18 am Mooncat says:

    OMG ! This looks to be the best one yet !
  45. January 25th, 2008 at 4:08 am Conrado says:

    “At last… The Jedi are no more…”
  46. January 25th, 2008 at 3:19 am siyomi3 says:

    It’s completely awesome but/therefore it’s too terrible to display in my room. I don’t want to see him in the night. lol
  47. January 25th, 2008 at 2:23 am Chwinwin says:

    Evil, creepy, disgusting, gross and oh so evil. True essence of LP. Nicely done SS!!! (This piece will look good in the window on Halloween night… or at dinner with the inlaws).
  48. January 25th, 2008 at 2:21 am Reinaldo says:

    WOW !! just the preview and It looks impressive !

  49. January 25th, 2008 at 2:20 am Reinaldo says:

    OMG !! wow ! I will be preo him for sure !!
    SIDESHOW !! you are killing me lol!!
  50. January 25th, 2008 at 2:11 am Tony says:

    This is gonna be mine i really did not like the first four busts but i,ve gotta have this it will look sweet next to my master replicas vader helmet…Nice one Sideshow.
  51. January 25th, 2008 at 1:42 am andre says:

    Ewwwwww!
  52. January 24th, 2008 at 11:31 pm JediTricks says:

    Looks great already! Totally disgusting preview which suggests it’ll come from Return of the Jedi, where the Emperor really shone the brightest. The ROTJ version of Palps has been ignored for a while in merchandising, so I am glad to see it making a comeback here.
  53. January 24th, 2008 at 10:56 pm Jeremy says:

    While this item probably out of my budget, it is very exciting! I cant wait to see the finished product.
  54. January 24th, 2008 at 10:41 pm Kyle W. says:

    WOW!!!
    This is amazing…now what to do with that tax rebate? Hmm…
  55. January 24th, 2008 at 10:32 pm Alex says:

    I may have to get this! That teaser shot is so awesome!!!
  56. January 24th, 2008 at 10:24 pm Late in the Game says:

    Awesome! GOnna put him next to ole’ Scarface to await the arrival of The Godfather 1:1. Then I’ll have an evil triumvirate of the “best of the baddies.”
  57. January 24th, 2008 at 10:23 pm Sean – MaulFan says:

    Sideshow, I’ve have hoped so much since you started a 1:1 Star Wars bust line that you would take on the deformed Palpatine, and now you have. This is one of the most exciting pieces for me you guys have ever done, thank you.
  58. January 24th, 2008 at 10:23 pm BrianB says:

    Can’t wait to put him next to Maul!
  59. January 24th, 2008 at 10:20 pm Seretur says:

    Looks PERFECT.

    Now, do I want a 1:1 head looking like THAT in my room?

    I actually don’t, but I’m sure lots of Freaks do. They don’t call ‘em Freaks for nuthin’.
  60. January 24th, 2008 at 10:12 pm PuzzleMaster5 says:

    Creepy looking. I’m sure it will be a big hit though!!!
