@gasper how good the competitive figures are is irrelevant to me. I notice that the more I see of kylo irl, the more I notice that shf kylo lacks his profile/sillhouette. Yes that comes down to the hood a lot, but also that kylo is an entirely cloth design and the figure emulates that with 4 straight panels. It just doesn't work in any stance except standing normally, and then the hood still ruins it a bit. Kylo has a very agile, aggressive behavior to him, the figure just doesn't convey that to me (anymore) somehow.
The best features are the arms, mask, and saber, all fantastic. But making such a flowing fully clothed char into zero cloth material is really hard to pull off. And as such, it doesn't really to me unless he's just stnding straight, and thn the most signature aspect, the hood, just isn't at ll like it should be. In a normal pose kylo's hood shape signature of star wars force users is the only thing that makes recognisably star wars.
So dispite the figure having plenty of good things, it still just becomes less and less satisfying to me... If i'd buy it now im highly considering removing the skirt, scarf and hood, all of it, and make it cloth. But what the **** did I just pay a hefty price for then? Im just on the fence.
