Star Wars Black Series Cal Kestis
Every Star Wars Black Series Cal Kestis figure — all 4 Gaming Greats releases covering Jedi: Fallen Order and Jedi: Survivor. Which version to buy and why the Deluxe is the definitive Cal Kestis figure.
Cal Kestis has 4 Star Wars Black Series figures — all within the Gaming Greats GameStop-exclusive sub-line — covering the Jedi: Fallen Order protagonist across his two game appearances. As the lead character of two acclaimed Star Wars video games, Cal is the most significant gaming-original character in the Black Series and one of the few characters who exists entirely outside the films and TV series yet has received more figure releases than many named film characters.
Who Is Cal Kestis?
Cal Kestis is a Padawan who survived Order 66 hiding his Force sensitivity while working as a scrapper on the planet Bracca. When his powers are discovered, he’s forced into a galaxy-wide journey pursued by the Empire’s Inquisitors to find a holocron containing the locations of Force-sensitive children. His story in Jedi: Fallen Order is a survival narrative — a young man rediscovering his Jedi training, confronting trauma, and slowly becoming the warrior the Rebellion will eventually need. In the 2023 sequel Jedi: Survivor, a five-year-older Cal is more confident but more morally conflicted, dealing with the increasing costs of ongoing resistance against the Empire. Cameron Monaghan’s motion-capture performance across both games gave the character enough personality to sustain the most played-through story in modern Star Wars gaming.
All Cal Kestis Figures
Cal Kestis and Cal Kestis (First Edition) — Red Line, 2019 (Walmart exclusive) The original Cal Kestis figure released at Fallen Order’s launch — standard configuration with lightsaber. Pre-Gaming Greats sub-line. A Walmart exclusive that predates the dedicated Gaming Greats programme. The First Edition is packaging-only differentiation.
Cal Kestis (Deluxe) — Gaming Greats GG 02, 2021 (GameStop exclusive) The definitive Cal Kestis figure. The Deluxe format was chosen specifically because Cal’s loyal droid companion BD-1 rides on his back in the game — including BD-1 as an integral accessory in the Deluxe pack gave the figure the scene accuracy that a standard single figure couldn’t achieve. BD-1 clips onto Cal’s back and can be displayed independently. This is the figure most Fallen Order fans want and it consistently delivers.
Cal Kestis (Jedi Survivor) — Gaming Greats GG 17, 2023 (GameStop exclusive) The Jedi: Survivor configuration — older Cal in the distinctive poncho and beard design from the 2023 sequel. Different lightsaber configuration and costume reflecting the five-year gap between games and Cal’s evolution.
Which Cal Kestis Figure to Buy
Definitive pick: Cal Kestis (Deluxe) — BD-1 companion, Fallen Order configuration, the figure that most fans are looking for.
For Jedi: Survivor specifically: Cal Kestis (Jedi Survivor) — the 2023 sequel configuration.
Skip the 2019 Walmart version unless you specifically want the pre-Gaming Greats packaging or the Walmart-exclusive format. The Gaming Greats Deluxe is superior in every display measure.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is BD-1 and why is the Deluxe important? BD-1 is Cal’s droid companion in Fallen Order — a small exploration droid who rides on Cal’s back and provides healing stims and map data. The Deluxe figure includes BD-1 as an accessory that clips onto Cal’s backpack, making the Cal + BD-1 configuration accurate to the game’s visual identity in a way the standard figure without BD-1 is not.
Is the Cal Kestis Deluxe worth the premium over standard? Yes — the BD-1 inclusion is the defining reason to own the Deluxe rather than the standard. Without BD-1, the figure is accurate but incomplete relative to how Cal appears throughout the game.
Where can I buy Cal Kestis Gaming Greats figures? GameStop in the US for new stock. On the secondary market via eBay and similar. The Gaming Greats exclusivity means standard mass retailers (Target, Walmart, Amazon) don’t carry them.
