pic related is what I have right now. He's fine but it's too clunky and plastic, no cloth on it. Feels too much like a Barbie doll.

>>5391553
and also with you brother

>>5391557
what the fuk. srly?

>>5391625
He isn't that good. I acted like I really liked him because my sister probably had to go to a million stores to even find it. And I do kind of like it, he's on my desk right now. But to be quite honest he's clunky and ugly, dat crotch. I'm looking to upgrade.

>>5391544
what's your price range?

>>5391650
Right now I shouldn't spend more than $50 on it. And thats pushing my toy budget to the max, I never buy toys. I just love this character design more than you can even imagine that I have to get a good figure of him, I haven't bought a figure in 15 years. The Black series figure seems to be about $20 and looks like quality. When I get my good job going I'm willing to pay a lot more for a realistic replica model, so any suggestions you have I can save for when I have more money to spend.

>>5391544
For $20 that Kylo is great, I love mine. Your other options are the SH Figuarts which will set you back around $50 and the Hot Toy which will sent you back around $250 (Might be worth saving up for if you really like him). I suggest buying the black series.

>>5391666
Well you seem pretty committed to the cloth aspect of the figure, so the Black Series is probably right for you. Try to buy the KMart "Starkiller Base" version though, it has a better hood, better lightsaber design, one extra accessory, and a force pushing left hand instead of another gripping one.

I have the original release and it's a fine figure, but not great.

If you're willing to let go of the cloth, the Figuarts Kylo Ren is right around your budget and much better than the Black Series in basically every way. Better paint, better sculpt, more accessories, much better articulation, etc. But it's all plastic, and about 3x the price of the Black Series.

If you're willing to wait, Mafex is probably going to produce a Kylo Ren that should be in the $40 range and be a mix of the Black Series and Figuarts version.

>>5391672
Thanks, I'll look into the Hot Toy model, which I absolutely can not rationalize paying for right now but if its good, maybe later this year. I really do like him. I'll also look into the $50 model, is it really worth the extra $30? Where I'm at right now the black series Kylo looks like exactly what I want, I just wanted to ask /toy/ if it was any good.

I have the Black Series and Elite figures. I would go with the SH Figuarts one that someone mentioned earlier, if not then definitely go with black series. It doesnt have crazy articulation, but it gets the job done and has cloth. The Elite series figure is pretty much just a statue, no point in moving it at all, barely any articulation, and its not cloth, all plastic and the figure itself is die cast

>>5391686
Sideshow has payment plans if you're willing to do that. I hate spending the money all at once so that's what I do. Kylo would be $67.50 a month for 3 months and then shipping, but I'd definitely think about it.

>>5391683
Yes I am pretty committed to him having a cloth robe and hood, its pretty crucial. When I have the money I'll probably look for a more detailed and realistic model, but so far the Black Series matches what I want in my price range.

Will they release a higher quality figure with cloth eventually?

>>5391699
Mafex probably will release a cloth figure with Figuarts level articulation and accessories, but that could be months from now, so I wouldn't wait around for it. Figuarts will never release a cloth figure, it's just not what they do.

But seriously, if you can, get the Kmart version of the Black Series. It's much better than the wide release version and costs the same.

>>5391710
There are no more Kmarts here, is it something I could order? How much more would it cost online?

>>5391694
This.

>>5391720
There's also a 3.75 inch black series figure by hasbro which I personally think is much better than it's larger counterpart (th. You could get it for $20 on ebay, but you might as well get the 6 inch for the price.

I just looked up this one, HOLY SHIT!!! THIS IS WHAT I WANT! It's so perfect. I can't spend that much money right now but I'll have it later this year. I think in the meantime I'll get the normal Black Series. I looked at the Kmart version and I don't like the snow all over his cloak.

>>5391778
Most likely, you can probably paint over it with a marker or something like that

Figuarts + Black series Robe = Perfect Kylo.
The figuarts is tough to find now though and figuarts + Black Series is put you out of your $50 price range.

Shaved too much off m8.

>>5391794
i'd say if you want quality on a smaller scale to pass onthe black series and get the shf

>>5391842
Did you cut his hood? Looks gay tbqh.

>>5391849
Is this the Black Series? That one looks great and its what I'd like.

>>5391849
>That disgustingly tiny hood.

I didn't shave any off, I just didn't pull it all the way up before snapping a pick.

>>5391849
You know if you cut that cheap polyester material it's gonna start to unravel right?

>>5391886

It's still goin' strong.

>>5391877

Figuarts with black series robe and some trimming to the bottom of it. Definitive 6 inch Kylo that way.

>>5391883

Ah my bad. RIP.

Nice. I managed to grab this guy for 12 USD at Kmart a few days ago. Good luck!

I got a 3.75" black series kylo
Did I mess up?
>>5392825
$12, that"s crazy!
I got the Hasbro 3.75" hux at Kmart

>>5391699
Medicom will probably release him in their Mafex line, but considering how long they take, you probably wouldn't have him in your hands until this time next year. If you're determined to have both the cloth robe and the improved articulation, I've seen people transplanting the Black Series robes onto the Figuarts body to good effect. That being said, the most practical option would be to get the Black Series now to scratch the itch (it's perfectly solid for $20), then get the Mafex whenever that comes out.

>>5391849
My figuarts just came today, is there a tutorial on the best way to do this? I;m guessing it's rather irreversible.

>>5391778
Yes he does. Bottom of the cloak and the shoes

>>5392909
Yeah. I was surprised. It was likely a mistake, mind. Nevertheless the tag and barcode rang up 12.99. Felt like a steal. Now I'm trying to find General Hux.

>>5393530
Revan is a pussy, so much so that he isnt even canon.
Faggot.

>>5393376
The figuarts can be put back together, and I think the black series one can be too.

>>5393376
Yeah I'd like to see a tutorial as well

>>5393810
I just sacked up and did it without anything to go on.

Blast the black series head with a hairdryer until you can work it off the giant neck ball. Its the hardest part after gettint the cloak off itself. You'll get the shawl/cape off.

Then, using an xacto knife, carefully cut under the adhered part in the front of his belt, where its joined. If you don't fuck this part up, you could theoretically glue it back if you change your mind.

Now you'll have to take the thing off. It'll be fine, don't fucking rip it.

Ok. Assuming you've still got the figuarts assembled, the head and the torso joint pop off easily. With the hips exposed, you can see how easily the skirt things will be to remove. Just pegs.

And look at that. You done it.

I haven't trimmed mine yet, but it looks 1000x better already.

>>5393901
You know with the same hairdryer you might also get the arms off, I bet it makes getting the cloak off 10x easier.

>>5391640
A million stores? Those pile of shit shelf warmers are everywhere. She got you a cheap piece of shit.

>>5393530
If only there was a good Revan figure.

So I don't know if this has been brought up before, but I recently got the 6" black series Kylo as well and I like it for the most part, but is there a particular reason the blades are all connected or are they just lazy fucks?

>>5394969
so they can have both the ignited lightsaber and the unignited lightsaber without spending the extra $.00002 on the second hilt

This version of the black series has the better light saber and a better 2nd hand, the trade off though is that they have some snow on the bottom on the cape, that is not to convincing.

>>5395063

really anon, really?

>>5393530
Atleast Kylo is canon ;)

>>5394969
So that children can remove the blade without losing the exhaust bits

>>5395186
It's so the blades can be removed and not have two small little pieces to take out

That is me, yes. It's very small right now, not worth posting. But it is growing. I'm seriously considering selling some of my anime scales to fund it even though I don't need to.

>>5395348
I never said he wasn't canon so why are you quoting me

>go to me local ASDA seeing if I can pick up a few more Stormies for my army

It's like poetry

>>5395357

cause they're doing a Black Series Revan

Still makes no sense to quote me specifically. I like Revan but I also like Ren so :^)

>>5395371

Just got black series kylo and he's pretty decent.

>>5395456

It's easier than it seems.

I already have pretty decent instructions. All the joints you have to pop off are ball-sockets, the figuarts comes apart easily by pulling off the head and the torso, then the black series needs a hairdryer and some elbow grease.

Maybe try the arms too if you're feeling ballsy, but its not necessary.

Then carefully (or not if you don't care) cut off the black series belt with a hobby knife. Putting it on the figuarts is piss easy after this.

You can do it. Beleive in yourself.

hey guys, thanks for all the info and discussion. I can tell this is a good board. I just now bought the Black Series Kylo from walmart, it was $20. I'm extremely happy with him. I haven't bought an action figure since pic related was the standard. I love the level of detail and how many of his joints bend, I'm having fun trying to figure out the coolest pose. Great figure, exactly what I was hoping it would be, love it. I decided against the Kmart version because I really hate the snow on his cloak, other than the force hand this looks much better and more natural.

Good job m8, I can't see a good reason to leave it on.

Anyone know how to spot the revision out of 6" black series Kylos? I know there's a new one with a shorter robe which is the only part I want for the swap, but I haven't bought a black series at retail since the sandtrooper wave and don't know what to look for. Is there a different box or something, or do I just have check what's on pegs around it?

>>5396293
>>5396300
Nice, thanks for the rundown. So you 100% didn't have to pop the arms off the figuarts to get the robe on? I just got mine and while I see where the shoulders would come off, it looks like it'd be scary as hell to do.

>>5399150
The new Kylo comes with the new rey(better face and black lines on bb-8) and resistance trooper, so look for those.

Nope, figuarts shoulders move properly enough to slip the cloak over them no problem. I didn't even take the black series arms off when I did mine, though it might make things easier.

I'd take off his hands though if you've switched them from the fists, as open fingers cpuld hook and cause trouble.

guys a few days ago on euro amazon the hot toys kylo was 90€. by a third party seller.

99% of me was screaming ruse. but 1% was thinking the real deal just a mistake. its not possibru for it to be that cheap in any way right?

>>5391544
I like the black series figure.

Side note: They will inevitably change his design for future movies because he left the mask behind, so getting the Black series figure now is practically necessary for any real collector.

>I got a 3.75" black series kylo
>Did I mess up?
Nah. The details are all the same and the articulation is comparable if not identical. I'm okay with the plastic hood but I don't like that the head is moulded to it.

I also like the 3.75/4" scale better than 6" (I have baby hands) and already have a ton of prior SW toys in that scale, so it works better for me.

>>5398364
I got one, anon. They're all over eBay, too, at $15-17 shipped, which is a little more than ideal but you know.
