UK Specialist Retailers have listed a Star Wars Black Series Darth Nihilus figure for pre-order today (9th September). The figure is part of the Gaming Greats line, which is sold via Gamestop in the US and via the Fan Channel elsewhere. This global release was timed so all retailers launched the figure at the same time with US pre orders via Gamestop also open. Nihilus is taken from the Knights of the Old Republic Video Game and comes with his Red Lightsaber. The base figure looks to be the the existing Darth Maul Sculpt although there have been changes made to the skirt, the arms, the hood, the addition of a soft goods cape and of course the head. The lightsaber is also a new piece as far as I can tell. He is due for a release in Autumn 2020, with late October / early November being quoted by the UK retailers. In the US, the Gaming Greats Jedi Revan will be re-released at the same time. STAR WARS: THE BLACK SERIES GAMING GREATS 6-INCH DARTH NIHILUS Figure (HASBRO/Ages 4 years & up/Approx. Retail Price: $24.99/Available: Fall 2020) Fans and collectors can imagine exciting moments from the STAR WARS Galaxy with this premium STAR WARS: THE BLACK SERIES GAMING GREATS 6-INCH DARTH NIHILUS Figure, inspired by the STAR WARS: KNIGHTS OF THE OLD REPUBLIC II video game.

McFarlane have shared this image of a Liu Kang figure incoming in early 2021 for their 7 inch scale Mortal Kombat line. From what we can see from the image, Liu Kang is based on his Mortal Kombat 11 appearance with black vest. We would assume that he will be packed with his nunchucks. "One of Earthrealm's greatest warriors, Liu Kang, joins the Mortal Kombat lineup. Coming to stores Jan 2021."

NECA are teaming up once more with Scream Factory for an exclusive figure release - this time from the classic 1988 John Carpenter movie, They Live. The figure of Frank was first teased by actor Keith David, and has now been fully confirmed as a December 2020 release, once month after the John Nada figure is released by NECA for the same movie. Frank is an 8 inch articulated figure with soft goods tailored clothes. He comes with two machine gun accessories and sunglasses. The figure can only be purchased via Scream Factory - either as a standalone figure for $39.99 or with one of the They Live BluRay packages. Sadly, Scream Factory only ship within the US - so this one will be tough to track down for collectors here in the UK or elsewhere in the world For the first time ever, a limited edition 8” inch NECA - N.E.C.A action figure of Keith David’s “Frank” is a reality and only available exclusively from Scream Factory. "Frank” as portrayed by actor Keith David, It’s a perfect complement to NECA’s “John Nada”/Roddy Piper action figure (available elsewhere in Nov 2020), "Frank" comes with two accessory machine guns, and is dressed in a purple shirt, khaki pants, and special sunglasses to see right through the aliens’ disguise. The figure will be housed in a collectible retro box packaging featuring original theatrical art. This figure is authorized and approved by actor Keith David with only 4,000 units being made.

Jaws collectors looking forward to the upcoming NECA figures will be disappointed with the announcement that the Chief Brody figure has now been cancelled. The news started to break via retailers cancelling pre-orders, and has since been confirmed by NECA on their social channels. The only reason given is a licensing conflict, and this seems particularly late into the figures development considering NECA were aiming for a Winter 2020 release. The accompanying Quint figure is going ahead, although how popular he will be a standalone release is now debatable. There is no news on if or how this may impact the ongoing development of an inscale Bruce the Shark - but the release from NECA does promise more Jaws product on the way. Anyone who has the Chief Brody on order should receive a cancellation and refund in due course.

In 2019 a number of multi-pack Star Wars Black Series sets were released and sold solely at the brand new Galaxy's Edge sectors of the US Disney Parks. These sets contained a lot of repacks, but also new figures of DJ R-3X, Hondo Ohnaka, Commander Pyre and a First Order Mountain Trooper. In 2020 it was announced that Target in the US had struck a deal with Disney to sell Galaxy's Edge merchandise exclusively in their stores, and this would include single pack Black Series figures from the Galaxy's Edge park. The first batch of four saw one new figure in the shape of Captain Cardinal and the other three taken from the multi-packs that came before them with the release of DJ-R3X, Hondo Ohnaka and The Mountain Trooper. These were available outside of the US via the Fan Channel and into Specialist Retailers. Packaging 3.5 The Galaxy's Edge figures were obviously designed before the release of the new Phase 4 angled side packaging, so remain in what is essentially a Phase 3 box. This remains gloss black in base colour with the silvery Star Wars Black Series logo atop the window. Like other exclusives, such as the Carbonized line or Gaming Greats, an insert is now cut into the window that carries the Galaxy's Edge logo. The accent colours on the packaging is an earthy brown and this is used on the character name. The left hand side spine is redesigned fully with the brown Galaxy's edge box at the top with white text and a hatched line underneath. There is then an actual dirt design down the rest of the spine which carries the character name and a faction logo at the base. For the Hondo I am reviewing here, this is for The First Order which is an odd choice? It seems there may be boxed variances for the figures with Resistance logo's present also. The box uses Gregory Titus artwork of Hondo both front and back, and also has the usual background text on the reverse. "At the infamous Black Spire Outpost on Batuu, Hondo Ohnaka started Ohnaka Transport Solutions to run contraband throughout the galaxy" Whie the accent colour is brown, this has not been used on the backing card behind the figure. This is a very dark gloss black with thin lines running through the design. Hondo is very lost in the packaging and would have looked much better against a more contrasting background colour like the brown. Paint & Sculpt 3.5 Hondo is based on his Galaxy's Edge animatronic appearance, enhancing the visitors experience. In the Star Wars timeline, this is some time after Clone Wars and Rebels making this a much older Hondo than we have seen on screen. The head sculpt is detailed with the leathery skin tone of a Weequay build into the sculpt along with the facial appendages on the chin, which are much longer on the Galaxy's Edge era Hondo. While the detail is good, paint is lacking and the face is in need of a lighter base tone and much darker washes to accentuate the leathery texture - while the facial horns are too bright and clean. Moving up and Hondo is sculpted wearing his goggles - these are fixed in place - with a translucent green lens and the eyes visible behind. The helmet is ornate with a shell effect on top and also not removable. The braided hair extends from the helmet and not the head and are painted so similarly they look like part of the same piece. They should be more of a brown texture not grey. The Outfit is a good match in design to the costume seen at Galaxy's Edge, but the red of the coat is far too dark - and not brash and bold enough for Hondo. It looks to be based off the earlier Concept Art Disney Released and when it hit the Parks the colours have been enhanced. It is similar enough to outfits seen in The Clone Wars or Rebels for him to be displayed with characters from these shows if you wish. Each element of the outfit is neat and tidy and cast in its base colour with limited paint other than the belt section. The only weathering is on the wrist sections. The shape of the coat on the left includes a swept out section near the holster to accommodate the blaster as we will see shortly. Accessories 3.5 Hondo is armed with a single blaster which is pretty detailed and painted silver with gold trim. It fits into either hand, but is designed to be wielded left handed as this is where the trigger finger is sculpted. Like a lot of more recent figures in 2020, the fit is quite tight as Hasbro seem to have increased the density or quality of the plastic used for their figure hands. Hondo in the Clone Wars and Rebels is generally shown as being right handed, so having this as a left handed Hondo is a little odd. Again, it looks like it was based on the Concept Art where the holster and blaster were on the left hand side. By the time the Animatronic was made, they switched back to the right. When not in use the blaster slips into a holster on Hondo's waist. It is shaped so the blaster fits in with the barrel all the way through and the scope in a shaped slot. The fit is snug and now the blaster is in place, the sweep of the coat on that side has been shaped for the blaster handle. If this is the only Hondo we are getting, I would have liked to see his Kowakian Monkey Lizard as another accessory. This is not see at Galaxy's Edge, but was a big part of his Clone Wars appearances (yes I am greedy). Articulation 4.0 Hondo has a total of 17 points of articulation, with the new neck piece in use that articulated at the base and where it connects to the head. Head : ball joint neck base, ball joint neck top Body : torso ball joint Arms : ball joint shoulder, single rotating elbow, wrist pivot Legs : ball joint hips, thigh swivel, double joint knee, ankle rocker The arms work fine, but the elbows don't quite bend enough for Hondo to touch his own face and recreate some of his expressions we see on screen when he is considering a deal for example. The legs work fine, but posing is held back by the long coat. All the joints are secure and tight and Hondo stands perfectly on his own. Summary Hondo is one of many characters never seen on the big screen who are popular with fandom due to their small screen exploits. Hondo moved from The Clone Wars and into Rebels and is now a key part of the Smugglers Run experience at Galaxy's Edge. The figure is based of this latest edition, but for now Hondo will sit quite comfortably in a display that can span from The Clone Wars right through to the Sequel era. The figure is a good one, and there is a great one trying to get out. All the elements are there, it is just decor and attention to detail that lets it down. The jacket is too dark and the hair painted the wrong colour and looks too similar to the helmet. Lighten the skin tone slightly, add a wash and add some definition to the facial horns and this would enhance the looks significantly. The blaster holster also needs swapping to the other leg so it makes sense and matches the Galaxy's Edge look. I remain unconvinced by the packaging, particularly as Hondo is a very dark figure on a dark backdrop and is lost when displayed in the box.

The left hand side spine is redesigned fully with the brown Galaxy's edge box at the top with white text and a hatched line underneath. There is then an actual dirt design down the rest of the spine which carries the character name and a faction logo at the base. For the Mountain Trooper this is for The First Order. The box uses Gregory Titus artwork of the Mountain Trooper front and back and also has the usual background text on the reverse. "Like all First Order Stormtroopers, specialized units of Batuu Mountain Troopers are trained from birth, growing up with unit designations instead of names and fed a steady diet of First Order propaganda to ensure absolute loyalty " Whie the accent colour is brown, this has not been used on the backing card behind the figure. This is a very dark gloss black with thin lines running through the design. Against the Mountain Trooper this is not an issue as it creates a good contrast of white onto the black. Paint & Sculpt 4.0 Out of the box and the design, which is unique to the parks, is pretty awesome and a neat step forward from the Imperial Shoretroopers from which it evolved. The helmet is neat and angular with nods to the original Biker Scouts as well as the Shore Troopers with the large visor on the forehead and the shape of the lenses for the eyes. It flares out towards the bottom which is a trait of the First Order helmets. It is cast in a glossy white plastic with the black added on top and then some further paint splashes of brown to weather him a little. The gloss of the helmet is a different shade to the body on closer inspection. The body uses a black undersuit over which are placed armoured panels. These are again cast in white with the detailing added. This detail is essentially only a red shoulder pauldron on the right and more dirt splashes. While other detail exists, particularly the strapping over the shoulders, it has not been painted. The Mountain Trooper does share some parts with the Rogue One Shoretrooper mold. If you look carefully the midsection and trousers are the same, as is the upper and lower arm pieces and hands. The feet look the same too. The chest piece, shoulder pauldrons, lower legs and helmet are all new to this figure. Accessories 3.5 Our Mountain Trooper arrives with one accessory, a blaster rifle that I believe is new to the line (or I can't quite place it for now). It has elements of the Shore Trooper weapons, but only a single barrel and a shorter sight. It is cast in a black plastic with no other paint apps. Like many blasters in the Black Series, a drybrush of silver would have brought out more detail and added a little bit more realism. It is designed to fit into the right hand. This fit is OK, but the trigger finger of the hand is a little tricky to position. The left hand, which can cup the barrel, is also quite stiff and not easy to get into position. Without much more background on the Trooper, this is as good as we can expect with no other context existing to warrant other weapons or equipment. Articulation 4.5 Our Mountain Trooper has a total of 16 points of articulation. Head : ball joint neck with pivot Body : torso ball joint Arms : ball joint shoulder, single rotating elbow, wrist pivot Legs : ball joint hips, thigh swivel, double joint knee, ankle rocker All the joints are tight and secure and hold their position when posed. The hands allow for two handed blaster posing, including holding the weapon up to the visor for a sighted shot. While the legs are fully articulated and can move to a kneeled position, the thigh does not quite come up enough for the kneeling pose to hold and he does topple to the side in all orientations other than a two knee pose. There are no issues with him standing up, and he is a joy to pose with a variety of neutral or action stances available - depending on your display preference. Summary While he has never appeared on screen, the Mountain Trooper does look the business and is a neat evolution from the Shore Troopers, and Biker Scouts to an extent, with First Order design features included. The execution of this as a figure is solid enough, and while it reuses some existing parts from the line, the temptation to reuse more has been avoided. Articulation is good, and there are plenty of posing options for your display. I am not fully sold on the packaging design, and it will be interesting to see if this Phase 3 style box continues into 2021 if this line expands further via Target stores in the US.
