Star Wars The Black Series Darth Revan

Very good productVery fast shipping

Este no es el primer intento de Hasbro en hacer una figura de Darth Revan pero siento que no fue hasta ahora que acertaron, si no en el blanco, muy cerca de él.Todos los que hayan jugado Knights of the Old Republic reconocerán instantáneamente a este personaje. Siento que la túnica y todos sus detalles han sido fielmente replicados, si bien Hasbro al parecer se tomó ciertas libertades a la hora de diseñar las piernas pues nunca se mostró bien como lucían en los juegos y las rasgaduras en la tela, lo que me hace pensar que en parte esta figura está basada en su apariencia en el MMO The Old Republic.Un detalle que me gustó mucho fue que el mango del sable que viene con la hoja roja en la caja esta basado en los mangos de sables de luz de los juegos KOTOR y KOTOR II. Hasbro hizo su tarea y hay que reconocer que se empeñaron en hacer una figura que parece salida de la pantalla a nuestras manos.En cuanto a pintura, articulación y materiales, aquí es donde hay que reconocer la inferioridad de Hasbro frente a las compañias japonesas. Cualquiera que haya coleccionado las figuras de la Black Series desde el principio reconocerá que con el tiempo la calidad de las figuras y el número de accesorios han ido disminuyendo a la vez que el precio de estas figuras ha ido aumentando año con año. Personalmente opino que actualmente estas figuras ofrecen muy poco por el precio que se pide por ellas y que de seguir aumentando los precios, éstas costarán lo mismo que las figuras de importación pero estarán muy lejos de Bandai y Medicom en cuanto a calidad.La pintura esta bien aplicada pero como es el caso con Hasbro, no hay acabados que resalten los detalles o le den ese "look" usado y desgastado que caracteriza al universo de Star Wars. La articulación en los codos podría ser mejor así como la del torso.La tela de la capa admito es muy buena y hasta mantiene diferentes posiciones dándole un poco más de dinamismo a las poses de la figura. Mi mayor decepción está en los mangos del sable de luz, o al menos, el largo plateado claro que viene con el filo rojo. En la caja venía extremadamente doblado y al estar manipulando la figura y cambiando los filos morado, la parte superior se partió. Para mi esto es una muestra de los pobres materiales con los que Hasbro manufactura los accesorios de sus figuras. Puedo vivir con que el mango esté doblado, pero no con que se rompa. He podido disimularlo pero esto me ha quitado de verdad las ganas de seguir coleccionando esta línea hasta que Hasbro ponga un poco más de esfuerzo en sus figuras con mejores acabados, más accesorios y mejor calidad de plásticos usados.

I am collecting black series figures & was excited to receive this one. Everything was fine except the box was damaged. If it was a used purchase or not pristine, it should’ve been told.

Awesome figure of my favorite star wars character. I dont normally buy figures but this guy is amazing. His cape and skirt-tunic thingy are different types of cloth to add an effect. He has dual lightsabers, and you could get 2 hands on one lightsaber. His cowl and hood are made out of plastic, but the folds are represented amazingly. His head looks awesome. The red sash under his belt is made out of a semi-bendable plastic. The lightsaber handles have amazing detail and texture. The actual blades are nice and sturdy too. His feet, calves and knee area are covered with a cool looking platinum silver color. His thighs are dark black pants. His belt where the sash hangs from is a little loose, and made out of plastic. Again, the folds are incredibly well reflected. His chest area has some plastic, but it adds to the aesthetic. The rest is a metallic color, tinted with some light burgundy. It looks really cool. The top half of his arm is made out of plastic with well reflected folds. Then it has the burgundy armor tint. Then his hand has some armor on top, and plastic within it. Articulation is decent. You could move the head a little bit to the side or up. You could move the arm in any direction, but super high is limited by the cowl, as is head articulation. There is elbow articulation, you could turn it in any direction. The hand articulation can turn and rotate. His chest could rotate to the sides and puff up a little. His foot could move in any direction, only slightly limited by the calves. Calve articulation is great, you could move it forward and back, and slightly to the side. General leg articulation is great, you could turn it to the sides, backwards and forward.The articulation is limited though by the skirt, so watch that. This is an amazing figure.I did get it at a relatively cheap price, but this figure is definitely worth more than that. Highly recommended.

This is a fantastic release from the Black Series. Hasbro has had some stiff competition the last year from Bandai's S.H. Figuarts line, but where Hasbro has a leg up on everyone is more figures released per year, more affordable options (sometimes) and a bigger roster of characters. For example, Darth Revan here, from the Knights of the Old Republic game. Would have been cool of Hasbro to release this in a two pack with Darth Malak or Bastila Shan, they could have done it as a Target exclusive or something, not like it'd inflate the price more than it already is. Which brings me to my big gripe, the price!Certain Black Series and Marvel Legends figures just get less per case, and get scalped out of every case and end up online and the price just goes up. So for now I'm keeping mine in the box until I can find another one at a reasonable price to open and post pics of. I'm keeping mine carded on the off chance that I can't track down another one and this ends up being an R2-D2 or Darth Maul and becomes impossible to get. Granted, this is Hasbro so they'll most likely re-release this figure again down the road repackaged and what have you.So what's in the box, Darth Revan himself, aka Revan the Butcher, The Revanchist in all his Sith glory. He also comes with two lightsabers, one red and one purple. The soft goods on this figure look really good, and from what I've seen, the articulation is on par with most other Black Series figures. If you can find this figure for $30 definitely pull the trigger. It seems to be hovering around $40 and up here most of the time, and I've yet to see one in stores. Kinda sucks that this $20 figure is going for so much. I'm pretty pleased that a lot of the good Black series figures are around $15, that's great for army building. This figure comes FULLY APPROVED.

It did not come in the box that is shown in the image which is part of the reason I bought it in the first place that way it’s be symmetrical to my other figures
