Cassian Andor Sienar Test Pilot Black Series AND 15 | Phase 4 2025 | FigureShelf

Overview

Cassian Andor (Sienar Test Pilot) at #AND 15 is the Andor Mural Collection’s Season 2 opening-arc Cassian — the disguise configuration the character wears in the first few episodes of Season 2 while infiltrating the Sienar Fleet Systems facility to steal a TIE prototype. Released April 2025 single-boxed mainline. Non-exclusive. MSRP $24.99. Two accessories: a blaster and a removable helmet. 19-joint Phase 4 articulation. The figure shipped roughly six weeks after Hasbro announced it (February 26, 2025), the tightest announce-to-shelf turnaround of any Andor figure to date — clearly engineered to land alongside the Season 2 Disney+ debut.

The Sienar Test Pilot Configuration

The figure depicts Cassian in the Sienar Fleet Systems test pilot uniform — the cover identity he uses in Season 2’s opening Imperial-research-facility sequence. This is a specific narrative-moment configuration, similar to how the Aldhani Mission Cassian (#AND 01) captures him in his Imperial-garrison cover identity from Season 1. The Sienar costume is distinctive enough to read as its own configuration rather than as a variant of the standard Andor-era Cassian — the chest armour, the boots, the helmet, and the specific test-pilot uniform colour palette all differentiate it from the rebel-operative civilian wear.

For collectors building Cassian chronological displays, the Sienar Test Pilot fills the Season 2 opening-arc slot in the character’s progression: Aldhani cover (#AND 01) → Season 1 standard rebel operative (#AND 08A) → Season 2 rebel leader (#AND 10) → Season 2 Sienar infiltration (#AND 15). Four cover identities and configurations across the show’s run.

The Removable Helmet

The helmet fits over the head but leaves the figure’s neck showing, especially when viewed from the sides. This is a fit issue rather than a structural design choice — the helmet sculpt doesn’t extend down far enough to fully integrate with the head and uniform, and the gap reads as visible from certain angles. From the front the helmet looks correct; from the sides the neck-gap becomes noticeable.

For collectors who display the figure facing forward, the issue is largely invisible. For collectors who display from multiple angles or photograph the figure, the gap is a meaningful cosmetic problem. The workaround is to display the figure in helmet-off configuration, which exposes the photo-real head sculpt — but that means losing the screen-accurate Sienar Test Pilot complete look.

The Sculpted Chest Armour

The chest armour is its own separately sculpted piece but is not removable. Hasbro tooled the armour as a permanently-attached element rather than a swap-out piece, which means the figure is locked into the Sienar configuration without a stripped-down alternative. This is the right design decision for a moment-specific cover identity — the armour is part of the configuration the figure exists to depict — but it limits display flexibility for collectors who hoped the figure could double as a non-armoured Cassian for other display contexts.

The Blaster

The weapon is a good fit for both hands and it fits well into the holster. The blaster is the standard Sienar-issue weapon screen-accurate to the Season 2 test pilot configuration, and the holster integration means the figure can be displayed in either drawn or stowed configurations cleanly. For a non-combat-heavy character moment — Cassian’s Sienar infiltration is more about stealth than firefight — the single-blaster loadout is appropriate.

The Photo-Real Head Sculpt

The head sculpt looks nice in person and the figure looks great on display overall. Hasbro applied the photo-real treatment to capture Diego Luna’s Season 2 likeness with the sharp definition that the earlier Cassian releases also carry. The face reads correctly under display lighting and the slight maturation in the character’s appearance from Season 1 to Season 2 is captured.

For collectors who care about Black Series figures distinguishing between different filming periods of the same character — the Season 1 vs Season 2 visual differences in Diego Luna’s appearance — the photo-real treatment is sharp enough to support that distinction. The Sienar Test Pilot Cassian reads as the same character at a slightly later point in the show’s chronology.

Articulation

19 joints. Ball-jointed top neck, ball-jointed lower neck, butterfly joints in the shoulders, ball-jointed shoulders, ball-jointed elbows, ball-jointed wrists, ball-jointed upper body, ball-jointed hips, ball-jointed knees, swivel boots, ball-jointed ankles. The butterfly shoulder joints support the two-handed weapon poses, and the swivel boots (a less common articulation point) allow lower-leg rotation for ankle-positioning flexibility.

The figure stands solidly with no balance issues during display. Hasbro tooled the joints with appropriate stiffness — the figure holds dynamic poses without drift, supporting both the standing-with-blaster cover-identity configurations and the more active infiltration-pose displays.

The Six-Week Announce-to-Shelf Turnaround

Hasbro announced this figure on February 26, 2025, and it was on store shelves by April 2025 — roughly six weeks total. This is unusually fast for a Black Series release, where typical announce-to-shelf timelines run several months to over a year. The compressed timeline suggests the figure was specifically engineered for the Season 2 launch window, with Hasbro coordinating directly with the Disney+ release schedule rather than running their normal pipeline.

For collectors, the fast turnaround means the figure was available immediately when the Season 2 episodes featuring the Sienar configuration aired — supporting the “watch the episode, buy the figure” tie-in marketing that Hasbro increasingly uses for Disney+ Star Wars releases. The tight scheduling also suggests Hasbro had the figure mostly tooled before public announcement, which is consistent with how convention-exclusive and tie-in releases typically work.

The Paint Application

The paint application looks great and matches the on-screen colour tones very nicely. Hasbro committed to the screen-accurate Sienar uniform palette — the specific industrial-grey-and-orange-accent tones that the show uses for the Sienar facility costuming. The paint is clean across the figure with no major application issues, and the overall display reading matches the Season 2 source material faithfully.

Secondary Market

Single-boxed mainline release, non-exclusive, April 2025. Available at MSRP through standard retail and the secondary market with broad availability through 2025. Verify the blaster and removable helmet are both included. The helmet is the easier accessory to lose during transit. No production variants documented.

Verdict

Cassian (Sienar Test Pilot) at #AND 15 is the right figure for Season 2 episodes 1-3 collectors. The configuration is moment-specific to the Sienar infiltration arc, the photo-real head sculpt captures Diego Luna’s Season 2 likeness cleanly, the paint application matches the screen-accurate colour tones, and the 19-joint articulation supports the necessary cover-identity poses.

The helmet-neck gap is the figure’s only meaningful negative — visible from the sides, invisible from the front. The non-removable chest armour locks the figure into the Sienar configuration. The single-blaster loadout is appropriate to the character moment.

Buy this figure if you collect Cassian across configurations, if Season 2’s opening Sienar arc mattered to you, or if you want a Diego Luna Season 2 likeness for display. Skip if you only want one Cassian and the more standard rebel-operative configurations matter more.

The Sienar Test Pilot. The Season 2 cover identity. The figure that shipped six weeks after announcement to land with the show. The fourth Cassian configuration in the Andor Mural Collection.
