Star Wars Fans! This item is your calling, featuring an autographed Funko Pop of "Emperor Palmpatine / Darth Sidious" himself, Ian McDiarmid!
— Hand Signed By Ian
— Autograph Signed in a Red Paint Pen
— Funko Pop #433 - Emperor Palpatine
This pop is awesome because it is from probably the Emperor's biggest scene in the entire Star Wars franchise in Episode 6: Return of the Jedi, where the Emperor is using electricity on Luke Skywalker to try to kill him in front of his father, Darth Vader! Then of course Vader picks him up and throws him down the shaft, and the Emperor dies.

This is a stock item whereas we are using stock images to show the piece you will receive, although the signatures may differ in quality as well as the location of each signature.
