I need 2, maybe 4 of these bamfs!
Definitely going to try to get 2 of these...at least.
this makes me very happy cannot wait to see it in package
I have a really bad feeling this sucker is going to be tough to come by because you can't have just one Royal Guard. It's like a minimum of two.
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This was one of the figures I was supporting in the 6" Fan's Choice Figure poll. Glad to see Hasbro got to the Royal Guard before we needed another poll.

Yeah and they will put him in the worst case pack imaginable.
Its about time they made this guy, Palpatine will display so much better with a couple of these.
Can't wait to display Palpatine with these guys! It's about time to give the Battlefront Shocktroopers a break!

Instabuy x2. Richor409, gives a better cape.
While I've been reluctant to do any troop building in the Black Series 6" figure line, I just HAVE to get two of these guys to stand on either side of Palpatine.
I have to admit, this is one of the first BS6" I *automatically* want TWO, at least.
Also, this is probably one of my MOST coveted figures, along with ESB Snowtrooper and Tusken Raider.
I'll be looking for a minimum of 4. 2 for Palpatine, 2 to customize into Legacy style Imperial Knights
I'm having at least one, probably two.

I'm also going for two. Maybe four if my wallet will allow, but Hasbro will be releasing four other figures I really want plus I also collect Figuarts so it's just two at the moment.
Another great character to scratch off my list!

So awesome looking! Have to get 2 eventually. This should certainly make the Emperor display a bit better. The EU comic inclusion is a great plus of course. It takes the sting of me never getting the 3 3/4 TVC Royal Guard assuming I can get one of these that is.
Very impressed! I'll get a pair of them!
Not a fan of the EU armor underneath, so I'm not sure if I will buy this.
The Royal Guards are obviously wearing ceremonial uniforms that are not designed for combat, so the movie costume makes much more sense than the silly comic book armor:

I'm not really a fan of the whole Crimson Empire thing either, I think it's all just kind of Power Rangery. With that said, I don't have a problem with this figure...even though I don't care for the source material, I applaud Hasbro for going this route when they could just as easily not. I'm not bothered by what's under the robes...because it's under the robes.

I really really want this figure and preferably more than 1.
But looking at the second image, with the robe open, I can't get out of my head, that the head of the figure looks to be too high up, proportionally.
So I will definitely also have the robes hang naturally - it's what I've known them fro anyways
the silent red statue guards.

I wouldn't to bothered by the armor underneath if it actually looked like imperial armor. That lobster plated stuff on his legs is so bulky I don't see how he even walks properly wearing it, and it looks more like something from Mass Effect than Star Wars. I would rather he had no armor at all since the ones in the movie did not wear any, or at least pieces of red Stormtrooper armor underneath.

Time to mod, once again?
You know me too well Oofa, a mod is indeed going to come into play. This time I am going to do some tailoring work by making a dark crimson rode and belt to wear under his red one. That should conceal the armor well enough and be much easier to accomplish than modding the legs and torso. I will also shorten his neck post if the final release has his head sitting up too high like the one in the pics.

I've noticed that about the neck as well.. looks weird, when the robe is open. Unless of course they were all kaminoans xD
I could forgive the silly EU underarmour if they made the robe look good.
34 years later and the original Kenner version is still the best.
