The deco on his face almost looks as if he has port-wine stains, or vascular malformations, on his face, but if you look at any still of the character that Disney has approved for release so far, it doesn’t appear as if they are this pronounced (or event present) on his face. And the paint operations are splendid as well. Supreme Leader Snoke (Throne Room) comes with a stunning portrait. It has some flexibility and doesn’t interrupt his sitting poses which is great in our opinion. His long-hanging belt, however, is removable and it too has been beautifully sculpted. You can still open up to reveal a strange white outfit underneath of it, but ultimately it really cannot be considered a separate accessory because of its inability to be fully removed. It's instead glued into place at the top of his shoulders/back. He comes with an ornate soft-goods robe, but it isn’t fully removable. It looks extremely realistic, and he truly appears that he is relaxed and commanding from afar. His wrists are ball-jointed, and this is very important for how you can pose them resting on the arms of his throne. He comes with the standard 28 points of articulation that allow him to freely sit on his throne unencumbered and look good doing so. Supreme Leader Snoke (Throne Room) is a decent looking action figure. It’s their way of double-dipping and making the most out of their sculpts. Hasbro is notorious for releasing a “deluxe” version of many figures first and then releasing a simple basic version after. ![]() Supreme Leader Snoke (Throne Room) will be available without the throne in the basic The Black Series line. Add in some Elite Praetorian Guards, and you’re able to do a Sequel Trilogy take on Emperor Palpatine’s Death Star II throne room from Star Wars Episode VI: Return Of The Jedi. What’s more, Supreme Leader Snoke (Throne Room) interconnects with the Walmart exclusive Kylo Ren (Throne Room) piece and collectors will be able to set up a very cool diorama with both pieces. ![]() This set delivers a nice environmental piece from Episode VIII, and it’s nice to see Hasbro thinking outside of the box when they make these types of exclusives for The Black Series 6” line. His throne is well-sculpted, and Snoke himself has been given some incredible attention in both sculpt, deco and smart use of premium soft-goods. Why is Kylo Ren loyal to him? Why does the First Order bow to Snoke? Why is history repeating itself 30 years later in the Star Wars timeline? We’re not exactly sure, but from a toy perspective, we can confirm that the GameStop exclusive Supreme Leader Snoke (Throne Room) figure set is done very nicely and should be a highlight of all the toys produced for Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi. There are also many questions about the character. ![]() This Emperor Palpatine redo for the Sequel Trilogy is probably cooler than we realize at the moment, but right now he looks like a bad parody of Hugh Hefner who sits atop a grand throne chair dictating what is going to happen next with the First Order. ![]() Yeah, we know it’s all about the Sequel Trilogy right now, but wouldn’t it be a breath of fresh air to get the same treatment for a character based on the Original Trilogy as we did for Supreme Leader Snoke (Throne Room).
