For the most part, Hot Toysā dips into the Star Wars universe for its highly-detailed action figures stick to whatās current in the world of the galaxy far, far away. The latest shows and movies, or dips back to classic heroes and villains, the toymaker plants its feet firmly in the current continuity of Star Wars. But in a rare moment that it doesnāt, Hot Toys definitely goes hard.
Hot Toys just revealed its latest 1:12 scale Star Wars figures will make for the companyās rare pulls from the franchiseās āLegendsā continental: and itās in the form of arguably some of the most infamous non-canonical Star Wars characters standing, Knights of the Old Republicās Darth Revan and The Force Unleashedās Starkiller.
This is far from the first time that Revan has been made into merchandise, in spite of the fact their storyāas told in the events of Biowareās iconic CRPG Knights of the Old Republic, its Obsidian-made sequel The Sith Lords, and the still-ongoing Old Republic MMOāis no longer a part of Star Wars canon. But itās almost certainly one of the snazziest Revan collectibles out there. As well as an articulated fabric hood and frayed cloak, the Hot Toys Revan comes with two lightsabersāone with a Sith-red blade, and another with a purple one, both of which can light up and also include āswooshingā FX parts. Some international markets will also receive a special coin with the figure, to commemorate the occasion of getting a Knights of the Old Republic reference in 2024, even if itās not actually anywhere remotely close to getting its characters, worlds, or story weaved into Star Wars canon.
Likewise, this is isnāt the first Force Unleashed merchandise weāve seen recentlyābut it is a bit of a twist. Instead of giving us the more usual Galen Marek persona of the action video game duologyās protagonist, Hot Toys figure focuses on a darker what-couldāve been. The āLord Starkillerā version of the character is inspired by The Force Unleashedās out-of-continuity DLC, where Marek fully submitted to the Dark Side and became a mechanized cyborg monster slicing his way through the original Star Wars movies and its heroes. Like the Revan figure, he is spartanly accessorized, including two lightsaber hilts on top of his usual weaponāwhich will be the only one with light-up functionality. He will also come with a special coin in international markets, too.
