Watch out, Black Series, SH Figuarts are coming for you with yet another head-to-head showdown on the 1/12 scale!
First up, we’ve got the newly announced Emperor Palpatine SH Figuarts Death Star II Throne Room Set! I’ll be excited to see how this stacks up against the Amazon Exclusive Black Series Palpatine with throne from Hasbro.
Palpatine comes with his Throne, two interchangeable heads, force lightning, a cane, and two royal guards with force pikes! That’s surprising. I was expecting a “figure not included” disclaimer! Palpatine is coming soon! He’s scheduled to release December 2019.
Check out the full details and gallery below! Pre-orders go live tomorrow, November 22, 2019, so we’ll update you with links!
From Bandai and poorly translated from Japanese:
The dark side mastermind emperor Palpatine connecting all the works of the “Star Wars” series boasting a history of more than 40 years is fully figured in the “SHFiguarts” series. Palpatine, who seems to be involved in the final chapter of Skywalker Saga, “Star Wars: Dawn of Skywalker,” is an indispensable item in the Star Wars collection.

Next up, we get everybody’s favorite Mando! Mando comes equipped with a more Spartan set up matching how his character travels, but check out that soft goods cape! I do wish he came with an interchangeable Beskar pauldron! But, alas, no. Again, I smell a showdown with the Black Series coming up!
