Star Wars Black Series Kylo Ren

Kylo Ren has 11 Star Wars Black Series figures released between 2015 and 2021, covering his arc across all three sequel trilogy films — from the masked Force villain of The Force Awakens through his unmasked emotional complexity in The Last Jedi to his Supreme Leader incarnation in The Rise of Skywalker. The Kylo Ren figure range is one of the best examples in the Black Series of Photo Real face printing transforming a character: his unmasked face, rendered with Adam Driver’s actual likeness, is where the technology’s improvement over pre-Photo Real figures is most visually dramatic.

Who Is Kylo Ren?

Ben Solo — son of Han Solo and Leia Organa, grandson of Darth Vader — fell to the dark side after being turned by Snoke while training as a Jedi under Luke Skywalker. As Kylo Ren, Commander of the First Order’s military, he presents one of the sequel trilogy’s most psychologically complex portraits: not a straightforward villain but a character in constant conflict between his dark-side identity and the pull of the light he feels but resists. His crossguard lightsaber — an unstable, crackling red blade with lateral vents — is among the most distinctive weapon designs in Star Wars since the original lightsabers. His arc concludes in The Rise of Skywalker with his return as Ben Solo and his sacrifice for Rey, making the full Kylo Ren figure range a complete character journey from first appearance to redemption.

All Kylo Ren Figures

Kylo Ren — Red Line #03, 2015 The Force Friday launch Kylo — masked, black robes, crossguard lightsaber. Pre-Photo Real. The original Black Series Kylo and one of the five figures that launched the Red Line era.

Kylo Ren Unmasked — Red Line, 2016 The first unmasked Kylo, from the TFA interrogation room scene. Pre-Photo Real — and this is where the quality gap is most visible. The pre-Photo Real Adam Driver face does not capture his distinctive features effectively.

Kylo Ren (Centerpiece) — Red Line, 2017 Oversized premium display figure.

Kylo Ren (Last Jedi) — Red Line, 2017 TLJ configuration — repaired mask (with visible red sealing lines across the crack from TFA), modified robes. Pre-Photo Real.

Supreme Leader Kylo Ren — Red Line #90, 2019 and First Edition TROS Supreme Leader configuration — red cape, new costume design. Photo Real era — the first Kylo with genuinely accurate Adam Driver likeness.

Galaxy’s Edge Kylo Ren — Galaxy’s Edge exclusive, 2019 Park-exclusive configuration.

Kylo Ren (Archive) — Archive Collection, 2021 Archive reissue of the TFA figure with Photo Real update — the correct version to buy if you want the original masked TFA Kylo at retail price.

Kylo Ren (TFA GC) — The Force Awakens sub-line TFA 02, 2021 The definitive TFA masked Kylo — Galaxy Collection, Photo Real era production, current packaging. The recommended display version for TFA configuration.

Kylo Ren (TLJ GC) — The Last Jedi sub-line TLJ 02, 2021 The definitive unmasked Kylo — Photo Real Adam Driver face printing captures his features with the accuracy the 2016 pre-Photo Real release couldn’t achieve. The scar across his face from Finn’s lightsaber wound is rendered accurately. The most important Kylo figure for display purposes.

Which Kylo Ren Figure to Buy

For TFA masked display: Kylo Ren (TFA GC) — Galaxy Collection, current quality, masked configuration.

For TLJ unmasked display: Kylo Ren (TLJ GC) — the Photo Real unmasked face is the reason this figure exists and it delivers. Essential for the throne room duel with Rey.

For Supreme Leader / TROS: Supreme Leader Kylo Ren from the Red Line — Photo Real era, red cape, TROS configuration.

Skip: The pre-Photo Real masked and unmasked figures from 2015–2017 are superseded by the Galaxy Collection versions. The Archive reissue is only useful if you want the specific credit collection-era packaging.
