Editorial Review

With its flailing black cape, this scary, rubber replica of Star Wars‘s Darth Sidious resembles a black feather duster, or a cornered cat. Most striking are the trademark streaks of lightning that shoot from the Sith Lord’s fingertips. (For an alternate look, the figure comes with a second set of hands without the lightning bolts.) The soles of Sidious’s feet plug onto a display stand designed to look like a platform on a spaceship. As such, the action figure is meant more for show, not so much to play with. --Andy Boynton

Product Description

Ten years after the fight to save Naboo from invasion, the galaxy is on the brink of civil war. Under the leadership of a renegade Jedi, thousands of solar systems threaten to secede from the Galactic Republic. A courageous Jedi Knight, his impulsive apprentice, and a queen-turned-senator are drawn into the heart of the conflict... and the beginning of war. The Star Wars Unleashed line consists of powerful and meticulously designed artist-interpreted 7 inch scale action figures capturing some of the most compelling Star Wars characters in their rawest and most electrifying moments. Collect them all, each sold seperately.

This review is from: Star Wars: Episode 2 Unleashed > Darth Sidious Action Figure (Toy)

The Unleashed line of toys continues with this figure of Darth Sidious. His face doesn't really match the one seen in RETUN OF THE JEDI, but the amount of detail and action in the sculpt help make up for it. The figure comes with two pairs of hands. One normal, the other features blue lightning bolts shooting out from his fingertips. I found it was best to display the figure with one regular hand and one hand with lightning. If you attach both hands with the lightning at the same time the amount of lightning looks a bit ridiculous plus his face can get obscured from certain angles.

Drawbacks - You'll have to find a safe place to store the hands not attached to the figure. The lightning bolts seem pretty sturdy, but I'm sure if they got bent they would break. On my figure the paint job on the pair of hands that have lightning is rather sloppy.

I recommend this figure, but it doesn't reach the high standard set by other figures in the series.
