Heading to Walmart in the US and their Collector Con event are these new McFarlane Mortal Kombat Klassic 2-packs featuring Liu Kang vs Reptile, and Scorpion vs Raiden.

"I've learned that 'trust' is overrated. The only thing the Jedi Council believes in is violence!" The Star Wars Black Series continues to support the Prequel Trilogy and the Clone Wars animated series each year, and over the past few years that has allowed collectors to grow a number of key Jedi characters. The most recent of these were new figures of Shaak Ti  and Luminara Unduli , and as of Autumn 2025 we can now add Unduli’s Padawan Barriss Offee to that list. Barriss is part of the 3rd Fan Channel Exclusive wave of 2025, packed alongside a Jedi Temple Guard from The Clone Wars, The Ronin from Star Wars Visions, and Dash Rendar  from Shadows of the Empire.  Barriss, like Shaak Ti and Luminara, is an Attack of the Clones release with the figure based on her appearance in the Geonosis arena, but then also suitable for any of her Clone Wars episodes. The Attack of the Clones box art and text uses a deep red hue, with Barriss number 09 in the collection with the artwork on the side panel linking directly to that of Shaak Ti in the wider montage.  The rear of the box repeats the artwork alongside a brief background for the character. The figure is packed into an inner tray that is sat over colour coordinated backdrop that features an embedded image of Geonosis.  Barriss wears a very dark hooded outfit, perhaps foreshadowing her story arc, and that is replicated onto the figure with a ribbed black torso and arms, with a subtle purple hue, and plain black legs that originated back with the Vice Admiral Holdo  figure and that have been used on other female Jedi like Aayla Secura , as well as Shaak Ti and Luminara. In Barriss’ case, the boots on these legs are updated to a gloss black higher heeled boot. The legs are shrouded in full by a soft goods skirt, a similar fabric as seen on some of the Imperial Inquisitors, held in check at the waist where we have a dark brown belt piece with orante gold and bronze belt buckle. The outer robes are similar soft goods, but in a very interesting fabric that features a mottled effect of both black and purple. This decor is carried forward into the hood, but here the hood is molded plastic and shaped around Barriss’ head and secured at the neck by a neck ring in black plastic.  Hand and head are cast in the light green hue of the Mirialan skintone, with tattooed markings on the back of the hands, and across the bridge of the nose. These, and the other facial features, are photo printed, giving a good likeness to Barris Offee as seen in Attack of the Clones, played by Nalini Krishan. Barriss comes with her lightsaber, a new hilt design close to the one used on screen with a gunmetal silver finish, gold emitter collar, and some subtle black washed sections. The saber features an extended plug that we would usually expect to plug into a socket on the figure's belt for holstering. However, I can find no such socket on Barriss, indicating that either the saber is reused or an original plan to have a belt holster feature was dropped.  The saber blade is translucent blue, connecting into the hilt with a robust click. It is straight and true out of the box, and the connection has no obvious signs of weakness or potential bending or even snapping over time.  Barriss has a total of 21 points of articulation with a mix of older format pinned joints on the legs and newer pinless joints on the torso. The legs include nearly half the joints with double jointed knees, and swivels at both the thigh and at the bootcut, where the newer boots have been added to the Holdo legs. The ankle joint feels robust, and despite the higher heel on the boots, Barriss stands pretty stable once posed.  The arms have sufficient movement for single and two handed lightsaber poses with single elbows that bend beyond 90 degrees, and the standard shoulders enhanced with the butterfly joints. The ball joint waist can lean backwards quite some way, but doesn’t offer much forward leaning movement. And the neck, jointed at the base and the top of the neck, can be moved and posed within the softer plastic hood. Barriss Offee is another well-executed Prequel Jedi for the Hasbro Black Series, now with a more balanced approach when mixing soft goods with sculpted softer plastics to hold the material in place and in shape. The face sculpt is nice, as are the supporting markings on the face and also on the back of the soft green-hued hands. The downside, if it is one at all, is the lack of a holstered lightsaber hilt option. While the highlight of the figure is most certainly the two-toned blended black and purple of the cloak and the hood.
