This Emperor's Royal Guard action figure was released in
2012 in The Vintage Collection.
It was exclusively available at Online Stores.
Hasbro gave the figure 14 points of articulation and included
seven accessories (2 helmets, shoulder armor, force pike, soft-goods robe, blaster, battle staff).
Here is what we noticed when we took a closer look at the figure:
- This Emperor's Royal Guard came with enough accessories to replicate the Royal Guard as seen in The Return Of The Jedi or the Royal Guard as seen in the comic book series "Crimson Empire"
- The bulky soft-goods robe is easily removable
- The blaster fits well into the holster, which is nicely hidden underneath the robe
- The figure can't hold the blaster in the right hand, but it fits well into the left
- Both helmets fits well over the head
- The shoulder armor wraps nicely around the neck
- The Force Pike and the Battle Staff fit OK into the hands
- The Royal Guard's head sculpt looks fantastic
- It's quite difficult to display the figure with the Force Pike upright over the shoulder as seen in Return Of The Jedi, but it's beautiful looking, and super articulated, figure nonetheless
The articulation details are as follows: ball-jointed neck, 2 ball-jointed shoulders, 2 ball-jointed elbows, 2 swivel wrists, swivel waist, 2 swivel legs, 2 ball-jointed knees, 2 ball-jointed ankles
