The 2016 Star Wars The Black Series Darth Revan is one of the most celebrated, demanded, and culturally significant releases of the entire Red Line era, designated as #182. Based on the legendary character from Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, Revan stands as one of the most iconic figures in the Expanded Universe — a warrior who walked the path of both Jedi and Sith, whose mask, armor, and dual lightsabers became symbols of the Old Republic era.

This release marked the first time Darth Revan appeared in the 6‑inch Black Series, following his victory in the 2016 Fan’s Choice poll. The sculpt embraces the character’s layered armor, flowing robes, and distinctive mask, blending game‑accurate details with the realistic aesthetic of the Black Series. Revan’s dual lightsabers — one red, one purple — reflect his complex identity and shifting allegiances, making the figure one of the most visually striking entries in the Legends lineup.

As part of the Red Line’s 2016 wave, Darth Revan helped solidify the Black Series’ commitment to Expanded Universe characters. For collectors, this figure remains essential for Legends displays, Sith lineups, and any collection celebrating the Old Republic era.
