As reported by The Toyark, Hasbro not too long ago opened preorders for an Amazon-exclusive motion determine two-pack in its primo Black Collection line, one which revisits the all-timer Star Wars RPG and perennial PC Gamer favourite, Knights of the Outdated Republic 2: The Sith Lords. Sadly, the dang factor’s already bought out.
Included within the pack is the Sith edgelord and canopy artwork actual property hog Darth Nihilius. This nasty freak’s killer character design has endured by means of the years, and he is memorable as one thing extra like a Lovecraftian drive of nature than a foul dude. Nihilius’ metaphysical starvation was such that he’d kill complete planets simply by touching down on them.

The determine seems to be nice, with a mixture of material and plastic components, plus the creepy suggestion of a human face underneath his signature demise’s head masks, however Nihilius is not the primary occasion right here. That is, to my information, the primary official motion determine we have ever gotten of Kreia, a.okay.a. Darth Traya, Kotor 2’s true antagonist and beloved Objectivist grandma.

Burned first by the Jedi, then the Sith, Kreia equally loathes the pious dogma of the previous and Chaotic Silly autocannibalism of the latter. She sees in KotOR 2’s Jedi Exile protagonist each a software of revenge and self-discipline towards those that wronged her, in addition to a philosophical synthesis for the Pressure, a means ahead that’s neither Jedi nor Sith.
Earlier than her eleventh hour betrayal (Darth Traya, get it?), Kreia’s additionally a companion within the recreation. She’s tremendous imply, lectures you on a regular basis, pits your companions towards one another, lies to them, lies to you, simply usually wreaks havoc aboard your ship, the Ebon Hawk. She’s a gaslight gatekeep girlboss of the very best order, the Black Lodge inverse of Avatar’s cuddly Uncle Iroh, and excellent in each means.
It is an incredible sculpt on the determine, actually capturing Kreia’s sneering contempt of no matter she occurs to be taking a look at, and I like that she comes with three lightsabers and clear plastic stands to make them “float”—Kreia fights with telekinetic floating sabers in your last duel. I used to be stunned that they gave her each arms—one is reduce off very early into KotOR 2—however perhaps her proper hand is well eliminated on the determine?
For those who too would love a bit motion determine of an previous crone in a black gown with three lightsabers and her creepy goth nephew, properly, too unhealthy. It seems to be like Amazon has already bought out on preorders. However hope springs everlasting—if there’s sufficient curiosity, Hasbro may all the time make extra. Good issues do occur on this fallen world generally.
