The Black Series Commander Pyre (Galaxy's Edge) — Target exclusive, October 2020. $24.99. Re-release of Disney Parks First Order 4-pack figure (id=20416). Star Wars Resistance character, realistic interpretation. 19 joints. 3 accessories: blaster (right thigh peg), blaster rifle (both trigger-finger), grey shoulder pauldron (removable only if helmet popped off — not recommended).

Overview
Commander Pyre (Galaxy’s Edge) is a Target October 2020 exclusive at $24.99 — a single-boxed re-release of the Commander Pyre from the Disney Parks exclusive First Order 4-pack (id=20416). This figure is a realistic 3D interpretation of Commander Pyre, a character who appeared in the animated Star Wars Resistance TV series — his animated design rendered in the Black Series photo-real style. 19 joints — ball-jointed neck, swivel neck, ball-jointed shoulders, elbows, wrists, upper body, hips, swivel thighs, swivel joints above and below knees, ball-jointed ankles. Also found at Disney property stores in Orlando.
The Black-and-Gold Armour
Commander Pyre’s visual identity is his black and gold armour, setting him apart from standard First Order Stormtroopers. The gold paint application is noted as looking cool but is not vac-metallized — like the C-3PO situation, it reflects light but doesn’t achieve the premium metallic finish the colour calls for. The grey shoulder pauldron is the rank indicator accessory.
Three Accessories
Blaster — plugs into a hole on the right thigh. Trigger-finger placement.
Blaster rifle — trigger-finger on both weapons. Both fit the hands well.
Grey shoulder pauldron — technically removable, but only if the helmet is popped off the body first. The source documentation specifically advises against attempting this. Treat as permanent.
The Versus-4-Pack Note
The source documentation is direct: if you already own the 2019 Disney Parks First Order 4-pack, both Commander Pyre figures are identical — skip this release. This single-boxed version exists for collectors who couldn’t access the parks-only 4-pack.
Secondary Market
Target, October 2020 / Disney property Orlando stores. Three accessories: blaster, blaster rifle, grey pauldron.
Verdict
Commander Pyre is the right choice for Star Wars Resistance fans who missed the Disney Parks 4-pack — the realistic-style Pyre in Black Series form, with distinctive black-and-gold armour. The gold paint note applies, and the pauldron is functionally permanent. If you have the 4-pack, this adds nothing new.
