Star Wars Revenge of the Sith - Darth Sidious
A key character in theStar Warsprequel, and arguably one of the most terrifying movie villains ever, Darth Sidious (a.k.a. Chancellor Palpatine, or the Emperor) is well represented in this fantastic, foot-tall action figure. Here, he’s cloaked in dark, flowing, hooded robe fitted with a triangular, silver-colored medallion in the center. The hood opens to reveal the Sith Lord’s rubbery face and slick, sinister smile; it’s truly ghoulish. Comically, underneath it all, the old man’s built like Arnold Schwarzenegger, with a rippling torso perhaps borrowed from a G.I. Joe. The action figure enjoys full movement; all the joints twist cleanly, and even Sidious’s fingers move to close around the handle of his sleek, red lightsaber (included).--Andy Boynton
