SHFigurearts Star Wars The Force Awakens, Kylo Ren.

KYLO REN, Knights Of Ren.

Kylo Ren
born as a Force-sensitive human male who was the master of the Knights of Ren, and to some capacity a commander of the First Order, approximately thirty years after the Battle of Endor, Kylo became one of the Knights of Ren within the First Order.


Box is a little bigger than other SW SHF, box arts design is similar too.

(360 GIF)

Close up on the head.

A lots of textures on the hood.

Without hood.

With some damage and dented details.

Torso detailing.

Cloak details. The cape is a bit of thick, making it hard.

There is a hole on the side of the belt, for the lightsaber use.

Without the cloak, he look like some priest.

Plain cloth textures on the back.

Another layer of cloth beneath the long skirt, different textures.

Simple pants design beneath the two layer skirt.

Dragon priest?

Neck articulation.

Without hood, lower ball joint area articulation is limited, only the upper neck joint can turn 360.

Arms articulation.

With chest joint, arms can get closer than usual figure.

Waist articulation.

Knee can turn more than 90 degrees.

Yeah baby~! (this make me think of Palpatine in Robot Chicken...)

Kylo Ren's lightsaber.

The other side. I will never use this lightsaber because the energy of the blade is very unstable, kind of scary.

Two non activate lightsaber parts included, one for holding, the other one for belt.

Heard many people says he is not that good on saber fight?

Several poses from movie #1. (village scene)

Several poses from movie #2.

Several poses from movie #3. (forest scene)

Compare with SHF Darth Maul. Maul is such a short action figure, did Ray Park that short in real person?

With his LEGO counterpart.

Father & son parody, again?

Comparing the helmet, close enough.

My all SW SHFigurearts comparison.

"I will finish what you started."
(bring balance to the force?)

Darth Maul VS Kylo Ren.

 FIGHT!

Whose gonna win?

Back saber block!

 Darth Maul using his forearm to block the attack of Kylo!

 Kylo strikes again, but Maul block it by saber.

Strike!

 Kylo Ren no match against sith lord from the past.


Thanks for watching!!

75102 Poe's X-Wing Starfighter.

LEGO.com description:

Includes 3 minifigures with assorted weapons and accessories: Poe Dameron, Resistance ground crew and a Resistance X-Wing Pilot, plus a BB-8 Astromech Droid.


Resistance ground crew.

That torso printing looks more like a farm worker.

No second expression. Without the helmet, he look like a turtle.

Ammunition loader for the crew.

With a crate at the back.

The crate can insert several ammo (studs) in it.

Resistance X-Wing pilot.

Same color scheme like old pilot suit, but it is a lots different design from the old one.

No second expression.

Come with a blaster pistol.

 Ladder for pilot to access the fighter.

 Even it is a simple assembly parts, it still look good.

 Poe Dameron.

 The helmet have some Star Wars alien words on it.

Another expression.

Poe comparing to normal pilot.

Actually they are nothing different on the torso, just except the helmet.

Really dig on the pilot helmet, not like the old one, this have their own transparent visor on it.

New astromech droid, BB-8.

Back of BB-8's head.

Four different patterns on BB-8 belly.

Poe's X-Wing. (360 GIF)

 The colors looks very nice when looking from top.

 There is a weapon slot behind the seat.

 The droid slot for BB-8. It is a bit loose, BB-8 keep fall off if accidentally sweep it's head.

 Cockpit details.

 Loaded with four spring shooter on the wings. I wonder why all the ammunition is in red color? Don't red color is for the bad guys?

 Studs shooter on both side below the cockpit, also red transparent parts.

  Spare windshield parts include in this box, heard many owner says they replace their parts by order from LEGO.com due to the windshield is not fitting well on the X-Wing.

I think this black one is Poe personal customize X-Wing.

Old and new #1.
There is many places different between old and new X-Wing, such as engines, the four cannons on the wings...

Old and new #2.
...cockpit glass is different...

Old and new #3.
...back of the engines is different...

Old and new #4.
...wing's shape is different, but the nose almost same like the old X-Wing, because the assembly is nearly same. The new X-Wing is longer, because the rear engines is longer than the old X-Wing.

Old and new #5.
The new one look better than the old one.

Old and new #6.
Engines area look a lots smoother than old version.

 Handles for unfold the wings, both different position, old X-Wing is at the back of the tail, but new X-Wing is on the back.

 And the landing gear is a bit different from the old X-Wing.

 X-Wing preparation.

75104, 75102, 75103, 75099 line up.

Bonus #1, X-Wings scene.
(I know in the scene this is not the right X-Wing)

Bonus #2, X-Wing dog fight.
