“My friend, your devotion to rules is sometimes inspiring and sometimes maddening.” The first Star Wars Black Series release for one of the Star Wars 'Tales Of' anthology series was announced in late 2025, a new figure of Jedi Master Dooku as seen in the Tales of the Jedi from 2022. Dooku would be part of a larger Amazon / Fan Channel wave that also featured the likes of Quinlon Vos from The Clone Wars, the Seventh Sister from Rebels, and Kyle Katarn from the Dark Forces video game. The wave landed in stores in March of 2026. Jedi Master Dooku is presented in the usual Black Series box, with a blue assigned colour tone. This is now confirmed as being the Galaxy Collection for Star Wars Animation Shorts & Anthologies, such as Tales of the Jedi, but also the Visions series. While collected into a single collection, each figure retains confirmation of the source material on the box in blue text, with the same colouring used on the character name and on the side artwork. This illustration shows a clean-shaven Jedi Master Dooku with his lightsaber raised in one hand, and his other hand gesturing with the force. Behind him, we can see the background is that of the Wayyl village, as seen in the episode “Justice” where we first see Jedi Master Dooku.    Dooku is numbered 02 in the collection, meaning his artwork connects directly to that of The Ronin  from Star Wars Visions. This artwork repeats on the back of the box, where we also have a short piece of text that talks about Dooku’s role in the Jedi order before he joined the Dark Side and became Count Dooku. The backing card, seated behind the inner plastic tray housing the figure and accessories, is also colour coordinated in blue and within this is also a background image of the Wayyl village.  Out of the box, Dooku is presented as we first see him in the episode Justice. The robes follow the basic premise of the Jedi robes, but carry with them the cut of the future Count’s Serenno robes design. The upper tunic is a two part piece, with a golden brown inner robe overlaid with a softer plastic darker brown piece that crosses at the waist. It continues into the lower skirt piece, cast in softer plastic and topped with a simple painted belt featuring some level of sculpted patterns, but no paint. The arms use the same golden brown colouring, inclusive of folded and creased cloth sculpting. The legs are a further darker shade of brown, again pleated and folded and tucked into a pair of knee high gloss black boots. The outfit is then finished with the soft goods cape, which uses a similar material to the usual Jedi robes, but with a fitted shoulder cowl with a striped design. This is joined under the neckline with a simple plastic clasp, fixed through the fabric and into the torso. This fixing makes the cape non-removable. This clasp is left unpainted in a base grey and looks a little cheap, considering that in the episodes in which Dooku features, this is clearly a metal chain of sorts.  The first head sculpt is the clean-shaven Dooku, and a brilliant likeness to a young Christopher Lee, recogniseable from his earlier career in the 50’s and 60’s. The usual facial printing tech is employed to enhance this likeness to an increased level of realism, and this realism is, as per usual, very much made to look like a live-action character and not the stylised animation on which it is based.  You also get a second head featuring a bearded Dooku, which then replicates the look from the episode Choices, and that would work in passing from the third and final outing, ‘The Sith Lord’, although in this one, the beard is longer, more pointed and greying. Hasbro have again been smart in using obvious references from Christopher Lee’s career, with this slightly older Dooku using the likeness we would recognise from the late 60s and 1970s, such as Scaramanga, albeit this time with a beard.  The heads swap easily enough, and both heads look great on the Jedi Master body. The look you choose for display is very much influenced by the story and either the younger Dooku, master to Qui-Gon Jinn, or the more jaded Jedi Master on a mission with Mace Windu. The previous Dooku figure was that of the Count, released first in 2020  and updated slightly in 2025  as a Revenge of the Sith Anniversary release with tweaked facial paint work and cape. This 2026 release of Jedi Master Dooku does take the entire bottom half from that first figure, re-using the legs and hips entirely. The new version also uses the same upper arms, but has reworked the lower arms and the full torso and skirt to reflect the Jedi outfit. For those who were considering a head swap to put the younger Dooku onto the older Count of Serenno body, it is possible, but it will need work. The ball-jointed neck peg on the new figure is smaller than the one on the older Count Dooku body, so you will need to either remove the ball joint completely and use some tack or a different neck peg. Or you would need to have it shaved down to accommodate the newer head.  2026 Dooku head on the 2025 ROTS Anniversary Body I must admit, that there is a definite sinister look when the older bearded head is applied to the Count Dooku body, an off screen look that works really well for those who want to explore that part of Dooku’s final fall to the Dark Side and his return to the planet of Serenno, and as notably covered in the novel Dooku: Jedi Lost. 2026 Dooku head on the 2025 ROTS Anniversary Body The sole accessory for Dooku, as we would expect, is his lightsaber. This is the same curved blade as released with the 2020 figure, but now devoid of any real decor and left in a cheap grey/silver plastic with a grey cap piece at one end. Considering how beautiful the original lightsaber was, coloured in silver with black and red painted detail, this is a significant downgrade. It has a plug on one end that connects to a socket on Dooku’s left hip for a slung position.  It fits into either or both hands, and accepts the usual translucent blade in a blue tone through the upper emitter and the plug and click socket. This wave is also the first to feature the ‘swoosh’ blades for all four of its characters, and the triangular effects blade also slots into place using the same connection. This dynamic effect is considerably heavier than the usual blade, so it can cause some drooping issues, and is very much a personal choice as to your preference over effects. Dooku features a total of 19 points of articulation, which gives him a good level of all round movement. The arms include the butterfly shoulders, widening the range for lightsaber posing, particularly two handed grips. The waste has a small bit of movement in the ball joint between the upper torso and the hips, but nothing extensive. Despite a twin-joint neck, the shape of the collar and Dooku’s hair limits this to rotating only.  The legs, being from an older figure, still feature thigh swivel, but this is hidden behind the lower skirt of the tunic. This skirt section is a softer plastic, and with a split at either side, it will allow the legs to be extended out for sitting or kneeling poses, although this will look a little odd as the plastic cannot mimic cloth. The cape, being soft goods, supports all movements. Stability, a minor concern on the original Dooku figure, carries into this one with slightly weaker ankles than we might like, but in the main, Dooku once stood holds his position. It is worth noting that the foot peg holes are smaller than usual, so they won’t take the standard stands.  Jedi Master Dooku is an impressive figure, most notably thanks to the two wonderful Christopher Lee headsculpts included. The figure translates perfectly into a real-world setting, borrowing the relevant parts from the original Revenge of the Sith Dooku accordingly. It also maintains the proportions we expect from Dooku and Lee’s 6-foot-5-inch fame. There are a couple of areas that feel out of place and cheap compared to the rest of the figure, the chain for the cape and the lightsaber hilt. A touch more love on these, and the figure would be pushing perfect.  The lightsaber blades work well for those who use them, and the articulation allows for a reasonable level of posing from neutral and menacing stances to lightsaber duel positions, with a soft goods cape that is tailored to a level it works with the frame of the figure and hangs naturally. The only downside presently is context for display, with Jedi Master Dooku, the first figure from Tales of the Jedi and currently without any supporting figures. Like the Ronin from the same Animation collection, he will hold his own for now, but let’s hope we can add a Padawan Qui-Gon Jinn or a Master Yaddle at some stage to sit with him.

"I'm no Jedi. I'm just a guy with a lightsaber and a few questions." To date, the Star Wars Gaming Greats series has delved into the varied history of Star Wars video games with substantial releases from newer properties like Jedi: Fallen Order, Jedi: Survivor and the Battlefront games. It has also gone back to titles like Bounty Hunter on the N64, Republic Commando, and the Old Republic series. We can now add another game to that list with the latest release in the Gaming Greats series, Kyle Katarn from the Dark Forces video game from 1995. Kyle Katarn is part of the first Fan Channel Wave of 2026 alongside Jedi Master Dooku  from Tales of the Jedi, the Seventh Sister from Rebels, and Quinlon Vos from The Clone Wars.  Katarn arrives in the standard packaging, but badged under the Gaming Greats line, which means an extra hexagon-shaped sticker on the window to the bottom right. The Gaming Greats turquoise blue colour coding is used on the text, and around the side to the art panel that features Kyle stood, looking into the shot, while above him sits the holographic map interface seen in Dark Forces II. The release is number 29 in the wider Gaming Greats series, and the side art adds to the growing montage continuing on from the 2025 release of Nightsister Merrin  from Jedi: Survivor. The back of the box repeats a cut-down version of the side art and a short synopsis of Dark Forces as a Star Wars Legends storyline. It details Kyle Katarn as a ‘fearless mercenary-for-hire’ and his mission for the Rebel Alliance to ‘investigate the imperial Dark Trooper program and steal the Death Star plans’ . Like all Gaming Greats, and the only sublime to do this, the game logo is added on the back of the box to the bottom of the image of Katarn. Inside the box, the figure and accessories are set in the usual plastic tray and behind this is the colour-coordinated backing card, which features another embedded image of the holographic map symbols seen on the main artwork. While badged as a Dark Forces Kyle Katarn, the figure is more of an homage to Kyle’s outfit from across his video game catalogue, most notably from Star Wars: Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II and from Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast. This is made up of a relatively plain, horizontally ridged, cream open-neck shirt with a black vest visible underneath. To the side of the shirt are two brown panels, and from the neck hang a pair of black drawstrings. The right-hand sleeve of the outfit sports a brown pauldron with a simplistic three-oval design, while both wrists have brown textured bracers complete with twin studs at the hand end picked out in silver. The waist joint is covered by a softer plastic belt in brown with two clasps and painted silver buckles. There is also a silver canister to one side, just above a hook for Katarn’s lightsaber hilt. To the other side is a slanted working holster for his blaster. The trousers are plain brown, deeper and darker than the belt, bracers, and pauldron, which end with a pair of black boots. These include a thigh swivel, which does mean Katarn has the issue with mismatched plastic tones between the top of the legs and the lower thighs. The thigh swivel means these legs are reused, and the source is that of Master Sol  from the Acolyte collection. The headsculpt is an extrapoloation of Kyle from both the likenesses in game, but with some influence from actor Jason Court, who played him in the cut scenes. This includes a sculpted beard and a hair style with parting that looks more like the one from Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy. The styling is realistic to fit in with the rest of the Black Series and uses facial printing tech for the eyes, mouth, and some shading around the mouth and nose.  Kyle Katarn has two different weapons, reflecting the gameplay from Dark Forces II onwards. We start with his lightsaber, which is a new hilt piece, cast in grey plastic with a painted black ridged frip and a gold collar just beneath the emitter. The finish does look cheap, and a simple brush of metallic paint would have enhanced the weapon immensely. There is a plug at the opposite end that fits into a socket on the belt, allowing the saber hilt to be slung over the figure's right upper leg. The fact that Kyle has a saber and the design of the hilt as the one used in the second game further positions this release of Kyle Katarn as being predominenly based on Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II, despite the box synopsis and logo. The saber will fit into either hand, but the better fit is in the right, with the left hand featuring a half grip/half pointing position, which is good for gesturing, but lacks the security in the gripping part. It comes with the correct blue blade in translucent plastic that slots and clicks into the hilt.  You also get, as is the theme across the full wave, a blue ‘swoosh’ effect blade. This triangular piece slots into the same slot on the saber hilt and replicates the blade sweeping through the air. It works reasonably well, but is heavier than the standard blade, which can cause stability issues or some drooping with the small peg unable to hold the increased weight at some angles.  Katarn also comes with a blaster to reflect his Bryar blaster pistol from the game. Rather than create a new piece, the team have re-used the established live-action MW-20 Bryar pistol from the Andor  figure from Disney+. While the original was a nice gunmetal finish with painted details, Katarn’s version is left in the base grey plastic with a black painted grip. Like the plain finish on some parts of the lightsaber hilt, it looks cheap. The blaster can be holstered in the angled holster on Kyle’s belt and then held in the right hand with the trigger finger slotted in place.  Articulation is 19 points in total, giving Katarn an all round, but standard, level of mobility for posing and wielding either of his weapons. The arms can get into two handed light saber poses thanks to the butterfly shoulders, which are hidden behind the outer sleeve of the torso. The elbows bend to 90 degrees, and the shoulders extend out and up, with the right pauldron flexible and hinged to move with the arm. The neck is duel jointed, allowing the head ot look up and down as well as tilt, without the need for a visible pin. The waist permits an average level of forward and backward movement.  Legs can bend fully at the hips and knees, allowing Kyle to kneel and sit. The ankle rockers are tight and secure, and stability is good, while a hole at the front (rather than the back) of each foot accepts a stand if required.  Kyle Katern joins the other Star Wars Legends video game big hitters from recent years, such as Starkiller and Dash Rendar. Like these, the look is extrapolated and hybrid in nature, with this version of Kyle Katarn more aligned to his second outing in Dark Forces II, allowing Hasbro to include his lightsaber as well as blaster. The look to this source material is accurate enough, although the figure overall feels a layer of paint apps short of being truly impressive.  The torso feels plain, and with no wash or highlights, the texture of the shirt is lost. The Pauldron is also plain, as is the belt with sculpted details left unpainted. The weapons are also left, as is becoming a concerning trend, in a cheap looking base plastic and are one gunmetal silver finish away from being impressive. Gaming Greats releases in the mainline are usually brand new figures, but Kyle Katarn does feature re-use in full of the legs although that is in no way negative. When we consider this saving in tooling, an extra layer of paint on either the figure or weapon to match the complexity of say Dash Rendar or Prince Xizor, isn’t too much to ask. Like Dooku in this same wave, the other issue with Kyle Katarn is the context of other figures around him - and while he will display fine on his own, with Mara Jade, or with some generic Stormtroopers, it would be nice to see the collection build out slightly in the future, perhaps with the original Dark Troopers, Jan Ors or General Rom Mohc.

"If it isn't the young wannabe Jedi and his so-called Master." Despite running for four seasons, the Star Wars Black Series collection for Star Wars: Rebels has been limited to the main crew, Ahsoka, and a release of Grand Admiral Thrawn, with the last Rebels release coming in 2023 with a re-pack of Chopper, more aligned to the Ahsoka Disney+ releases at the same time. The collection is finally expanding beyond its 8-figure Galaxy Collection in 2026 with the release of the Seventh Sister Inquisitor. The Seventh Sister is part of the first Fan Channel Wave of 2026 alongside Jedi Master Dooku  from Tales of the Jedi, Kyle Katarn  from the Dark Forces video game series, and Quinlon Vos from The Clone Wars. The latest Inquisitor to join the Black Series is packed in the usual box, and as stated, is part of the Star Wars: Rebels Galaxy Collection and therefore sports the purple accent colour on the text and artwork. The Seventh Sister is number 09 in the collection, and her side artwork connects to that of the 2023 Chopper release. This illustration features the fully masked Seventh Sister with her ID9 Seeker Droid sitting on her extended arm.  This image is repeated on the back of the box, where the background text describes her as “quick, agile, and deadly’ and her mission for The Empire to hunt down “Ahsoka Tano and her rebel friends”. Inside the box, the Inquisitor sits in an inner tray off set to the right as you view it, with her various lightsaber parts to the side of her. When unpacking, make sure you collect the smaller mask piece and the ID9 droid. Behind the inner tray is the colour-coordinated backing card, featuring an embedded image that is most likely Malachor. While there have already been three female Inquisitor releases in the line to date with the Second , Third/Reva , and Fourth  Sisters, this latest edition has no obvious re-use and is new from the ground up to replicate the Seventh Sister as she appears in Rebels, but converted as though a live action character. The Inquisitor suit and armour pieces are all cast in black, with a plain torso section over which is the glossy black armoured chest piece with silver and red painted components. The rear of the chest armour includes a circular panel, but unlike the other Inquisitors, this is not where the Seventh Sister holsters her lightsaber and in the show, this is a deployment port for one of her droids. The arms feature a silver Imperial decal logo on each shoulder and painted controls in silver and red on each wrist. The Seventh Sister’s gloves are also painted with a red inner palm.  A softer plastic skirt piece and belt transition the upper body to the lower legs at the waist. This again is black in colour with a bold silver buckle and more controls in silver to the side. A loop strap is sculpted coming off the belt to the right, and at the base of the loop is a socket for the lightsaber hilt to be slung. The skirt is finished off with two silver bands and two smaller silver circular pins on each side. The legs are sculpted to be a material finish with creasing, and end in a pair of knee high boots. The trousers feature red trim on the outside, sculpted as part of the leg and painted. The boots, too, have red trim, added around the foot section, and on our figure, this final finish is a bit messy. The headsculpt is wrapped in the black hood we see the Seventh Sister wearing in Rebels, leaving only her face visible. Like the proportions of the body, the face is translated as though a live action character, and while there is no direct likeness to Sarah Michelle Geller who voices her in Rebels, you can see aspects of her features in the sculpt. The face is a sickly yellow as seen on screen for the Mirialan, complete with facial print to add the subtle facial markings and the dark lips and dark set eyes with black eye brows and the yellow pupils looking out. The look is impressive considering there is no actor or real world images to scan. Collectors will be torn between the unmasked head and having to cover this up with the included helmet.  The helmet itself is two-part, engineered a bit like the recent Asaaj Ventress Bounty Hunter figure, but much easier to use and more secure. The main piece is gloss black, with red markings, and works from a flared base up and around the head socket and ending in a spike at the rear. Internally, there is a shaped section to fit with the rounded hood of the head. Once engaged and positioned, it holds in place and replicates the Seventh Sister’s ability to retract her mask and reveal herself. For the fully masked version, the second part of the helmet is a gun metal silver shaped piece with two brackets on the side, and one above the faceplate. These brackets line up to sockets on the internal helmet, and while they don’t quite lock in place, they secure the faceplate over the face for the final look. Enabling the helmet to connect in this way gives you a number of different options with only one head sculpt, including the ability to hold the helmet as a full piece if needed, allowing both headsculpt and helmet to be displayed at the same time.  Our Inquisitor comes with her dual-bladed lightsaber, the hilt of which is also new and, like the other Inquisitors, is cast in black with gun metal silver detailing around its barbed circular edge and on each emitter. As mentioned earlier, the socket on the Seventh Sister’s belt lines up to a subtle plug on the saber hilt, allowing a holstered look.  There are four blades included, starting with the standard red translucent blades with an end peg that slots into the hilt. This allows the saber to be wielded ingnited as either a single or double-bladed. The hilt is a bit easier to locate in the hands than some of those that have gone before, as the holstering plug is smaller and to the side, so it does not interfere with the figure's grip. The Seventh Sister can hold the saber in either hand, with sufficient articulation for a two-handed grip as well. The other two blades are the effect ‘swoosh’ blades, a theme with this four-figure wave. You get a pair of these, and they slot in just as easily as the standard blades. While they are heavier, the more robust Inquisitor blade holds them pretty well, and once orientated, they do a good job in particular of the notable rotating blade attack the Inquisitors often deploy. Articulation overall is 17 points in total. This is one of the newest configurations, so the thigh swivel is gone, and rotation has been added instead at both the hip and the knees. This still presents sufficient leg movement, but the skirt piece is such a tight wrap around the waist with no splits, it is difficult to achieving kneeling or sitting positions. There is no waist joint as such; the torso movement is built into the gap between the stomach and chest armour and provides a relatively good level of backwards lean, but very limited forward motion. The arms are butterfly shoulders with elbows that bend slightly past 90 degrees. There is no wrist pivot as such, with the hands plugged in with a ball joint that allows rotation and some sideways movement all the way round, but no significant pivot. The head sits on a duel jointed neck and really helps exenuate the Inquisitors sinister look as the head is cocked to the side, or is looking down on an opponent.  There is a final accessory of one of the ID9 Seeker Droids that the Seventh Sister deploys. This is scaled accordingly, making it the smallest Black Series Droid to date as far as I know. It is cast in black gloss with the circular head, including a painted red eye section. There are four legs, each fixed and ending in a basic claw.  There is no definitie way of posing the droid with the Seventh Sister, and while they will sit in her hand and can be propped on her shoulder, a better engineered solution would have been preferred. What is interesting, and not covered anywhere in the promo blurb for the figure, is the ability to mount the dormant droid on the back socket from where they deploy in the show. This is done by splitting the head, carefully, from the body and legs. This leaves the top section inclusive of a small socket that corresponds exactly to the plug and shape of the back piece. While this is a very neat move by Hasbro, it is at the back of the figure, and I’d have still preferred the look of a shoulder-mounted droid, perhaps even a second droid head to mount on the back at the same time.  When the wave was first announced, the addition of the Seventh Sister was a welcome one to extend the Rebels line after so long, while fans probably didn’t expect too much considering the Inquisitor figures we’ve had to date all being underwhelming in some fashion. In hand, the Seventh Sister is very impressive, notably that head sculpt and facial printed likeness that brings her to life from the animated screen to a real-world setting, allowing her to be sat perfectly comfortably alongside the live-action ‘Kenobi’ Inquisitors and, in particular, her Rebels ‘partner, the Fifth Brother.  Articulation is sufficient across the figure, with some lack of movement in the torso and the hips, the key concern. None of this stops you from achieving a number of positions for display, both with or without her lightsaber. The divisive ‘swoosh’ blades also work really well on this figure, replicating the spinning blade attack really well. Engineering is impressive too, with the two-part helmet as well as the droid and that rear socket, although I’d still have liked a secure shoulder mounting solution. While Quinlon Vos and Kyle Katarn might have been seen as headliners for the wave, the Seventh Sister is certainly the dark horse of the set and will certainly impress more in hand than might originally be thought.

"Yeah, but I'm not a very good Jedi, am I?" Maverick Jedi Knight Quinlon Vos exists in the Star Wars canon almost exclusively in the animated series, save for the brief shot of a background character in Mos Espa during The Phantom Menace that eventually grew into the Jedi we were introduced to in Season 3 of The Clone Wars. It was revealed in 2025 that Quinlon Vos would finally be joining the Star Wars Black Series, arriving in the Spring of 2026.  Quinlon Vos is part of the first Fan Channel Wave of 2026 alongside Jedi Master Dooku  from Tales of the Jedi, Kyle Katarn  from the Dark Forces video game series, and the Seventh Sister from Rebels. Quinlon Vos is a Clone Wars release, arriving in the standard black box and using the deep yellow colouring assigned to the Clone Wars Galaxy Collection. This colouring is used on the main text, and is also used within the main artwork for the box that sits on the right-hand spine, and is repeated at the back. This artwork features Quinlon planted in a wide-footed stance, his lightsaber lit and extended out. This image forms part of the wider Clone Wars Galaxy Collection montage. Quinlon Vos is number 22 in the collection, and in an appropriate coincidence (or planned scheduling), he connects to Asajj Ventress (Bounty Hunter)  from 2025, with whom he shared adventures across the Dark Disciple novel and into the Tales of the Underworld series. Vos and his lightsaber accessories are sitting in the standard inner tray, behind which is a colour-coordinated backing card using the same golden yellow. Inset into this, towards the top, is a background image of a series of cliffs and mountains, most likely from Teth as seen in his significant Clone Wars episode and where he fights Cad Bane.  Hasbro and the Star Wars Black Series team made a decision early on in the run to convert any animated characters into a real-world setting so the entire line feels cohesive. That was first applied back in 2016 for Star Wars Rebels and then onward into The Clone Wars. Quinlon, therefore, takes inspiration in the main from his appearances in Season 3’s ‘The Hunt for Ziro’, and the brief scene in Season 6’s ‘Visions’. This translation to a live-action basis see’s the proportions for Quinlon move in line with characters from the prequel movies and beyond, creating a look for Vos that is not out of place if you display him at any point in your prequel collection or beyond.  As per other Clone Wars era Jedi, Quinlon wears a combination of Jedi robes and armour. These robes are coloured brown on the inner layer, which is the main torso section, with an outer tabard in a sandy tone applied over the top as a softer rubber sleeve. This sleeve section also incorporates the upper chest armour panel in grey, which is painted and on our figure, does see some grey paint bleed onto the sandy robes. A pauldron extends over Quinlon’s right shoulder, using the same grey as the Vos does not have sleeves, so the arms are a muscular skin tone. The Pauldron features a yellow star emblem, which is believed to have its origins on Vos’s home planet and the Kiffu Guardians. As is often seen with Clone Trooper markings, the yellow on this star emblem is not applied fully solid and incorporates wear and scratching as is expected of armoured pieces.  Further markings can be found on Quinlon’s left arm as tattoos with another yellow symbol underscored by two red lines. The forearms are then wrapped in a grey cloth extending into fingerless gloves. The forearm itself is an additional piece plugged into the arm just below the elbow and cast in grey. The hands are then also cast in grey, with the exposed fingers painted. This does mean you might get some paint errors; our figure has a flesh tone splashed on a grey knuckle. It also means there is a visible difference in tone between the hands and the upper arm flesh tone plastic.  The lower part of the tunic mirrors the top half, starting with a wide brown Jedi style belt coloured in red/brown with a darker centre brown band and a silver and jade buckle, the buckle also appearing to carry a star emblem. To one side of the belt sits a sculpted pouch, to the other a silver-framed socket for Quinlon’s lightsaber. From the belt itself flow the two halves of the outer tabard, front and back. The inner brown robes are a secondary piece layered under the belt. The legs are the only reuse I can see on the figure, originating with the Jedi Legend Obi-Wan figure from the Kenobi Disney+ series. On Quinlon, the trousers are coloured the same grey as his arm wraps, with the boots a muddy brown with sandy brown painted soles.  The headscult is a real triumph, perfectly nailing what we might expect Quinlon Vos to look like if cast in live action. Details of the head have probably also been inspired by other media featuring Quinlan, such as the Dark Disciple novel cover and his appearances in the Star Wars comics. The head uses facial printing to give Quinlon an unshaven look. It also adds real intensity to his eyes beneath dark eye brows, and applies the yellow facial markings under his eyes and across the bridge of his nose. The hairpiece is separate, cast in almost black with depth in sculpt across each individual bang and with a single painted beige hair tie on one side.  Vos has 21 points of articulation, benefitting from the older legs format and a bonus swivel on the forearms where the wrapped arms have been added. The upper movement is extensive, starting with butterfly shoulders, unencumbered arms that bend beyond 90-degrees and a pegged ball joint wrist. The shoulder pauldron is hinged like a Clone Trooper so moves with the arm and therefore Quinlon has an array of positions for display, with our without his weapon. The torso joint sits at the waist, disguised behind the belt, and there is a reasonable all round movement from rotation to forward and backward lean. The legs have hip joints, a thigh swivel thanks to their Obi-Wan Kenobi donor hidden under the shirt, knee joints and secure ankle rockers. Once posed, Quinlon Vos is stable and secure. He will also accept a standard display stand via the foot holes in his feet. Quinlon includes his lightsaber, again extrapolated from what we see him use in The Clone Wars. This is a longer hilt than usual sabers, with a silver plastic finish and black grip details towards the upper half as well as a red switch. At the far end, a subtle peg will allow the hilt to be slung on the belt using the socket we saw earlier, towards the left hip.  The set comes with two green blades, the first a standard straight version in translucent green that slots into the light saber emitter. The other is the ‘swoosh’ effect, an effects piece that is a theme across the full wave. It is also translucent green, but triangular in shape to reflect a lightsaber blade as it moves through the air. This clips in using the same peg socket as the standard blade, and for those that like to use dynamic effects, it looks particularly effective once Quinlon is posed mid-move. Unlike a couple of others of these ‘swoosh’ blades, Quinlon’s saber hilt is robust, and there is no immediate or obvious issue with the heavier ‘swoosh’ blade drooping.  The Star Wars Black Series Quinlon Vos is a particular triumph in the line, taking a beloved rogueish character from the animated series and replicating him as though he were appearing in live action. The headsculpt is particularly impressive, Hasbro has absolutely ‘cast’ the right likeness. The body is also reflective of his Clone Wars appearances, following suit with the other Clone Wars era Jedi, while also remaining true of Quinlon Vos and his own choices, such as the unsleeved arms, and only picking one Pauldron and marking it with a symbol of his homeworld.  Proportions are great, articulation is great and very well disguised around the sculpt even with the bare arms, and decor is overall impressive with just a couple of areas of paint bleed that is only noticeable significantly close up. Even the swoosh blade works well with Quinlon thanks to his range of movement, with a lightsaber hilt that has been given a few different paint apps and not left that boring and cheap-looking grey plastic.  While it is too early to start picking a figure of the year for 2026, Quinlon Vos is a very early contender, and he and the Seventh Sister in the same wave, are a testament to how animated characters can be transposed and translated to sit side-by-side live-action characters in your Black Series display. Whether he ends up sitting with your Asaaj Ventress, Cad Bane or a live-action Obi-Wan, he will end up being a focal point for most collections.
