This was a figure we knew we wanted to make for a long time now. We had a plan for execution, but we also had to follow through on it. As the project progressed, the plan was modified to produce the best possible outcome. Originally, we were under the impression that all we had to do was make the CW Darth Sidious headcast from our mold, sculpt some hair onto it, and then add it to the
Brian's Toys "Jocasta Nu" exclusive action figure.
While we did do just that, we learned very quickly that there was too much of "Palpatine" in the headsculpt, and we needed to do more to the face sculpt than we had originally anticipated. By the time we finished the figure, we had resculpted the entire head except for her nose. We sunk in the hollows of her cheeks, accentuated her prominent cheekbones, refashioned her chin to remove the cleft, thinned her brow, and make the chin more pointy to reflect her on screen appearance. In the end, we couldn't be happier. She looks great on the shelf alongside the other Jedi. We dedicated this figure to the actress who played Jocasta Nu in the Prequels, Alethea McGrath, who died last February at the age of 96.
