The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

The cloth robe is bad enough.... but the juxtaposition of it right along with sculpted robes was a terrible idea. It's like "look, see how bad cloth looks compared to sculpted...no? Well let us put them together for you, to really drive it home"...

It has been a very long time since I ordered anything direct from SS so hoping frequent customers can confirm form me. If purchasing without flex or payments and paying in full. Is it standard to charge the NRD first. Then a separate charge for the remaining balance. And then no charge for tax or shipping until it actually ships?
Three separate charges?

Normally, it’s two charges. The NRD first, then the remainder when it’s ready to ship.

Waiting waiting on a shipping notification for this. First statue in a few years. Pretty disappointed in that maul revisit for the mythos do a character you haven’t done a bunch of times several formats. :/ That Palpatine looks horrid. I mean really how do you drop the ball so heavily on a huge franchise and a character that needs a good representation.

A lot of things is this line make no sense
Two Kenobis two Mauls
Before we get 1 of a line that has such a deep roster to choose from
Random mixed media on what was all sculpted line and in the case of emperor it is jarring in the contrast

All I know is that Asajj has prompted my first pull of the trigger in many years and hoping to get an Ashoka in a similar style

Hutt Slayer Liea or coliseum padme would also be awesome but we may have to wait for version 6 of Maul at this point

The Sidious tears me apart. I know that the character is supposed to be ugly but the production may be just too ugly for me...

From the pictures that Sideshow posted, I don't see any significant differences between the proto and production, other than lighting photography. Not liking the concept is another issue entirely.
