The 2020 Star Wars The Black Series Count Dooku (#107) finally delivers one of the most requested characters of the entire 6‑inch line. Portrayed by the legendary Christopher Lee, Dooku is a former Jedi Master turned Sith Lord, political manipulator, and one of the most elegant duelists in the saga.
Released as part of Wave 29, this figure features a premium portrait, a soft‑goods cape with chain clasp, and Dooku’s iconic curved‑hilt lightsaber. The sculpt captures his aristocratic posture, sharp facial structure, and refined costuming — a perfect representation of Darth Tyranus.
The included Force lightning effect adds dynamic display options, referencing his confrontations with Yoda and the Jedi.
