Fifth Brother (Inquisitor) — Star Wars The Black Series #OWK 04

Overview

The Fifth Brother at #OWK 04 is the Mural Collection’s quietest essential — the senior Inquisitor who serves Vader directly, who ranks above Reva, and whose costume design (the wide-brimmed hat, the heavy chest armour, the aggressive silhouette) is one of Star Wars’ best villain looks. Released July 2022, single-boxed, non-exclusive, MSRP $24.99. The figure ships with a double-bladed red lightsaber composed of one hilt and two removable blades. Standard 17-joint articulation. The figure that captures the Disney+ series version of a character previously seen in Star Wars Rebels, now updated with the live-action costume design.

The Hat: A Costume Design Statement

The Fifth Brother’s wide-brimmed Inquisitor hat is the figure’s most defining visual element and one of Star Wars’ most committed villain costume choices. The Disney+ series leaned into the hat as silhouette — the Fifth Brother is recognisable from across a room because of the brim, which casts a shadow over the upper face and makes the character read as menacing before he speaks. Hasbro sculpted the hat as part of the head sculpt, not as a separate accessory, which is the right decision — a removable hat would have created fit issues and would have undermined the figure’s visual identity.

The trade-off is that the hat is permanent. There is no way to display the Fifth Brother without it, and there is no alternate head sculpt for the helmet-off look that the show occasionally depicts. For collectors who want to display the character mid-helmet-removal or in the moments where the hat is set aside, this is a limitation. For everyone else, the integrated hat is the correct choice and the right way to honour the costume design.

The Double-Bladed Lightsaber

One weapon: the spinning double-bladed red lightsaber that is the Inquisitor signature weapon across both animation and live-action Star Wars. The hilt and both blades are sculpted as separate components, with both blades removable from the central hilt. The configuration options are limited compared to Reva’s modular setup — you can display the saber double-ignited, single-ignited (one blade removed), or hilt-only with both blades stowed — but the core display configuration is the screen-accurate double-bladed activation, and that is the configuration the figure does well.

The lightsaber fits well into both of the figure’s hands, supporting the two-handed wielding pose that Inquisitors use during their spin-attack sequences. When the lightsaber is not in either hand, the hilt plugs into a hole sculpted into the figure’s back — the Inquisitors are typically depicted carrying the saber on the back when not deployed, so the back-hole storage is the screen-accurate stowed position rather than the more common belt-hook approach used for non-Inquisitor lightsaber-wielders.

The Star Wars Rebels Continuity

The Fifth Brother first appeared in Star Wars Rebels as one of the recurring Inquisitor antagonists, voiced by Philip Anthony-Rodriguez. The Disney+ Obi-Wan Kenobi series brought the character into live action with a different actor (Sung Kang) and a different visual design — the Rebels version was bald and human-featured, while the live-action version is the Sung Kang likeness with the wide-brimmed hat and the more naturalistic costume design. The figure is specifically the live-action version, not the animation version, and the Rebels Fifth Brother (Hasbro figure ID different from this one) is a separate release for the Rebels-design collectors.

This matters because the two versions of the character read differently on the shelf. The Rebels Fifth Brother is the cleaner, more cartoon-villain design. The live-action Fifth Brother — this figure — is the more grounded, more menacing physical-presence design. Collectors building Inquisitor squads should decide which continuity they are honouring before buying. The Mural Collection figure is the live-action Disney+ series Fifth Brother specifically.

The Sculpt: Hasbro’s Best Inquisitor Work

Hasbro sculpted the figure beautifully, and the head sculpt in particular is one of the best Phase 4 Inquisitor sculpts. The Sung Kang likeness is captured cleanly underneath the hat brim, with the eye paint catching the light correctly during display. The hat’s shape, brim angle, and silhouette match the screen costume. The chest armour has separately sculpted overlay pieces (technically removable if you disassemble the upper body, but Hasbro does not recommend this and neither do we), and the belt is similarly a separate sculpted component. The colour tone on the outfit reads as the correct screen-accurate dark grey-black with subtle chest-piece highlights.

The small details are where the sculpt earns its quality. The buttons on the belt are individually painted. The chest piece’s metal trim catches the light. The hat brim has the correct screen-accurate width and droop. The figure feels solid in hand, not hollow, which is the test the build needs to pass for a $24.99 figure.

Articulation

17 joints. Ball-jointed top neck, ball-jointed lower neck (the two-point neck articulation gives the head some up-and-down range under the hat brim, which matters for displaying the character looking up or down rather than just left and right), ball-jointed shoulders, ball-jointed elbows, ball-jointed wrists, ball-jointed upper body, ball-jointed hips, swivel thighs, ball-jointed knees, ball-jointed ankles. Standard Phase 4 articulation that supports the full range of two-handed lightsaber poses. The figure stands well on display — no balancing problems despite the top-heavy hat-and-shoulder silhouette.

The Mural Collection Position

The Fifth Brother sits to the right of Reva (#OWK 03) in the boxed mural display — the senior Inquisitor next to the junior Inquisitor, both arranged on the side of the mural opposite the Jedi-aligned figures. Loose, he displays well alongside Reva (the two-Inquisitor team-up that the show depicts), alongside Vader (the command structure that Vader sits at the top of), and alongside the Phase 3 Grand Inquisitor and other Inquisitor figures across the Black Series line for the full Inquisitorius display.

For collectors specifically building Inquisitor displays, the Fifth Brother is the most physically imposing of the live-action Inquisitor figures and works well as the visual anchor of an Inquisitor shelf. For collectors building the Mural Collection only, he is the fourth figure of six and the figure that completes the Inquisitor sub-trio (Vader as overall master, Reva as junior Inquisitor, Fifth Brother as senior Inquisitor).

The Character’s Role in the Show

The Fifth Brother in the Disney+ series is the Inquisitor who actually does his job competently. Reva is ambitious and reckless. The Grand Inquisitor (in the show’s Episode 1) is overconfident and gets stabbed for it. The Fifth Brother is the one who survives, who maintains chain of command, who reports back to Vader without disobeying orders, and who is positioned at the end of the series to continue Inquisitor operations as established in subsequent Star Wars timeline material. The figure captures a character defined by professional competence rather than dramatic arc, which makes it a good display piece for the “this is the Empire as institution” reading of the Inquisitorius.

Secondary Market

Single-boxed, non-exclusive, wide retail release in July 2022. Available at or below MSRP on the secondary market. Verify both removable red blades are included — like all Phase 4 lightsaber-wielders with detachable blades, the small parts are easy to lose. Verify the lightsaber hilt is present and the back-storage hole is undamaged. No production variants documented.

Our Verdict

The Fifth Brother at #OWK 04 is the Mural Collection’s most underrated figure. The head sculpt is among Hasbro’s best Phase 4 work. The hat-and-silhouette costume design is unique enough to give the figure a specific visual identity. The lightsaber configuration is simpler than Reva’s but does what it needs to do. The articulation supports the poses the character actually adopts on screen. There are no significant complaints — the integrated hat is the correct choice rather than a limitation, the single weapon is appropriate to the character, and the build feels solid.

Buy this figure if you are completing the Mural Collection, if you build Inquisitor displays, or if the Sung Kang Fifth Brother costume design is the kind of villain look you want represented on your shelf. The Fifth Brother is the Inquisitor the Disney+ series treated most seriously as an actual professional villain rather than a character with a redemption arc, and the figure honours that reading. Buy him. Display him alongside Reva. The Inquisitorius display starts here.
