• This Mace Windu and Emperor Palpatine 2-pack was officially revealed during Hasbro’s annual San Diego Comic-Con media breakfast on July 24, 2025
• The set was first released at New York Comic-Con 2025 and made available to Hasbro Pulse Premium members on the opening day of the convention
• Palpatine and Mace are based on their duel in Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith, and the packaging beautifully captures this moment—when opened, it reveals a window display featuring the Coruscant skyline in the background
• You can find the Mace Windu figure from this set archived on GF here: Black Series Mace Windu
• The Palpatine/Darth Sidious figure includes an inner and outer soft-goods robe, his signature lightsaber hilt with a removable red blade, two additional hands with attached Force lightning, and a deformed head sculpt
• The lightsaber hilt fits securely in Palpatine’s hands, and the blade can be easily removed by pulling it off
• Unfortunately, the figure provides no indication of how Palpatine stored his lightsaber in his sleeve or where he retrieved it from in the movie, as there is no built-in saber storage
• The soft-goods robe looks good overall and is not overly bulky, but it lacks the intricate outer patterns and details seen on-screen, which is disappointing
• Swapping the heads is simple—just remove one from the socket and attach the other onto the peg
• Both head sculpts look fantastic in person
• The Force lightning hands are well-sculpted, visually appealing, and easy to attach
• The paint application on the lightsaber hilt is underwhelming, as it is molded in plain gray plastic rather than a reflective silver finish
• Palpatine stands securely without any balancing issues
• Overall, while the figure itself leaves room for improvement, the stunning packaging helps compensate for some of its shortcomings

When Palpatine was revealed as the Sith Lord Darth Sidious, Mace knew the future of the Jedi Order was in grave danger. He sought to arrest the Supreme Chancellor—and met with fateful resistance.
