Star Wars Black Series

Kyle Katarn arrived today, great reperesentation of the character and still pretty amazed that he made it to Blackseries. Immedately went onto my very limited shelfspace. Although he doesn't fit exactly to one particular look, I like how they combined a few different variations as it really captures the vibe of the character, while still being recognisable depending on the version you're most familiar with.

Articulation is smooth and does what it needs to do. The figure is also mostly very matte, which is nice. Absolutely no issues except that the bryar pistol is very thin (I assume so it can fit into the holster without the belt needing to be really bulky), but I might order a 3d print anyway that's closer to the game model. The lightsaber hilt could also be a bit more metallic, but it's not too noticable as his hilt is mostly black. Might have a shot at painting it though if I'm painting the pistol.

Overall, awesome!

I have the 3rd party bryers and they are too big for the holster. I have a few of them and they are noticeably larger then the one Kyle comes with. I don't know if any of the sellers I use have a different file for their printing, but all the ones I saw looked like the same file. They're nice molds, just won't fit the holster.

I'm surprised Target didn't cancel the Mando exclusive since I ordered it on sale, but I won't complain.

Yeah I thought they might be a bit too chunky for the holster from the pictures, but I don't mind keeping the original around for when it needs to be holstered. I considered getting a 3rd party belt too with a bigger holster (Syndicate Customs does a whole Jedi Outcast/Dark Forces conversion kit with belts from each game), but I actually really like the version already on the figure.

Where abouts did you find your 3rd party prints for the pistol? The few I've looked at so far online are based pretty far from me so the shipping is crazy (I'm in europe).

I live in the US so I got mine from an Etsy seller. I have a bunch of them saved for different accessories. I can find out which one if you want, since it was a while ago. But I have sellers who 3d print all kinds of shit for figures. I have a store for saber hilts, a seperate store for saber blades, I think 3 or 4 different sellers that make conversion kits for SW figures, and those also have a ton of different SW blasters, and even some SW melee weapons that never got an official release (one has a bunch of KotoR blasters I really like), and I have a couple stores for not SW weapons, like Arsenal of Pewpews that makes different guns for GI Joe and Marvel figures. Some of them are on break right now though, if I had to guess, because of the economy, or some sort of gvt. fuck up. The one store had all his shipping orders getting destroyed when he would send stuff to people. Something happened with the mail system in his area and it was a whole thing. I personally got a package that had a broken gun barrel, and he packed his shit well, all seperatelay wrapped in bubble wrap and a nice small box. Its like they had to have just smashed it with something heavy. He got mad, told me it was happening alot lately.

Apparently YakFace is teasing a mystery in-hand reveal some time today. No idea what it is, and I'm not getting my hopes up just in case (could just be an in-hand look at a previously announced thing), but worth keeping an eye on, I guess. Not sure if it's pertinent, but the color choice they used for the reveal is the Clone Wars yellow. Maybe a look at the rumored Pong Krell?
 
I wish it would have been Pong Krell. Is that even real? A Stormtrooper with a T-Shirt? Lol, I know it is real, but it's kind of crazy. it's funny though, but not something I need luckily. Especially since it's Wal-Mart

Well, that's that. Is it cute? Sure. Is it necessary? Nah.

Between this and the MOTU stuff leaking a few weeks back, stores sure are getting a little lax with releasing unannounced product, aren't they? Yet they register-lock stuff we already know about. Sounds about right.
 
Relieved. A silly Walmart exclusive I don't want but might impulse buy? PERFECT. If they release Pong Krell that dude better be available through every single retailer.
 
Alllriiight, fine. The more I look at it, the more charming it gets. The target practice thing is pretty cute. Ain't gonna rush out to get it, but I could see myself picking it up on clearance and using that shirt on another figure.

They might've been able to get me if it was a Black Series version of the Life Day Chewie, though.
