New Images of Star Wars Black Series Figures Reveal Upgraded Character Designs at London Comic Con 2022
Images of the Star Wars Black Series Darth Malak and Star Wars Black Series Bastila Shan figures debuted at London Comic Con 2022. While both statistics clearly take their cues from their respective Knights of the Old Republic namesakes, they also sport several costume details not present in the 2003 RPG. Notably, Darth Malak’s armored chest plate is more pronounced, and his form-fitting bodysuit is now a looser tunic with separate trousers, while Bastila is rocking upgraded shoulder pads. In addition, Bastila also boasts a slightly different hairstyle than in Knights of the Old Republic.
Hasbro is capitalizing on the enduring popularity of the Knights of the Old Republic video game franchise by releasing new Star Wars Black Series figures and expanding its Force FX Elite line. The latest figures include updated designs for Darth Malak and Bastila Shan, while the Force FX Elite line will consist of a lightsaber based on the one wielded by the first game’s protagonist, Darth Revan. Hasbro hails the lightsaber as its “most realistic Force FX Lightsaber yet,” and equips it with a removable blade that can switch between purple and red LED modes.
