Finn (First Order Disguise) — Star Wars The Black Series #51

Overview

Red Line #51 is Finn in his First Order Disguise configuration from The Last Jedi — the stolen officer coat that Finn and Rose Tico wear while infiltrating the Supremacy and Canto Bight. This is the third Finn figure in the Red Line sequence, covering the specific TLJ configuration that bridges the Jakku jacket identity he chose in TFA and the Resistance operative role he grows into across the trilogy.

The First Order officer coat is a meaningful costume choice: Finn was originally a First Order soldier, then wore Poe’s jacket as a civilian identity, and in TLJ puts on a First Order officer’s coat again — but this time as a deliberate disguise rather than an assigned uniform. The same uniform system that once defined him becomes a tool he uses against the organisation it represents. Four total Finn releases in the line; this covers TLJ. MSRP $19.99.

The TLJ Finn Arc

Finn’s TLJ arc has sometimes been characterised as the film’s weakest storyline, and the critical debate is worth acknowledging: the Canto Bight mission has a different tonal register from the film’s other storylines, and the specific arc of Finn moving from “I need to run” to “I need to fight for something specific” is less cleanly executed than his TFA arc. But the costume is the clearest physical marker of the transition: the First Order coat represents the specific compromise of adopting your enemy’s clothes to undermine them, which is a meaningful character beat for a former First Order soldier.

The specific configuration — the grey-black officer coat over the base layer — is visually more restrained than the Jakku jacket of #01 or the Stormtrooper armour of #17. It reads as someone who has borrowed authority rather than earned it, which is accurate.

Accessories

Blaster pistol. 19-point articulation via the standard Red Line dual neck scheme.

The Finn Four-Figure Arc

Four Black Series Finn figures tell the complete physical arc: #01 Jakku Jacket — TFA civilian identity. #17 FN-2187 Armour — TFA Stormtrooper configuration. #51 First Order Disguise (this figure) — TLJ infiltration coat. Finn TFA GC (2021) — Photo Real Jakku update. The TFA and TLJ physical arc is covered by the first three; the GC 2021 provides a portrait-quality upgrade for the TFA configuration.

Displaying the three in-universe sequential Finn figures — FN-2187 armour, Jakku jacket, First Order disguise — tells the story of Finn’s changing relationship with institutional identities: from assigned soldier, to chosen civilian, to deliberate infiltrator using the enemy’s symbols against them.

Secondary Market

Available at modest secondary market prices. No production variants documented.

Verdict

No production variants documented. The First Order Disguise configuration is the third Finn in three consecutive costumes that tell a single character arc — Stormtrooper to civilian to infiltrator — and its place in a collection depends on whether that arc display matters to the collector. For those building complete character arcs in plastic, it does. For those who want a single Finn at peak Photo Real quality, the 2021 Galaxy Collection Jakku version is the recommendation.

Buy for the complete TFA-TLJ Finn arc display, the TLJ infiltration configuration, or Red Line sequence completion. The Galaxy Collection TFA Finn (2021) remains the display recommendation for Photo Real portrait quality on the Jakku configuration.

Finn’s Relationship with First Order Uniforms Across Three Figures

The three First Order uniform Finn figures — FN-2187 Stormtrooper armour (#17), Jakku jacket (#01), and this First Order officer coat (#51) — create a visual essay about Finn’s relationship with institutional identity. The Stormtrooper armour is the identity the First Order assigned him from infancy. The Jakku jacket is the identity he chose when he defected. The First Order officer coat is the identity he borrows deliberately, wielding the enemy’s visual language as a tool.

The irony embedded in the third configuration is that Finn is wearing First Order clothes to destroy the First Order — the same institutional uniform system that erased his individuality is now a tool in his arsenal. For display collectors, showing all three Finn configurations side by side tells this story with no additional context required.

The Canto Bight Mission Context

The specific mission for which Finn adopts this disguise — infiltrating the Supremacy and the Canto Bight casino city to find the code breaker — introduces Rose Tico to the franchise, shows the First Order’s internal operation from inside, and establishes Finn’s role as an active Resistance operative rather than a reluctant participant. The First Order coat is the costume of Finn having chosen a side and being willing to put on his enemy’s uniform to fight for it.

The First Order officer coat’s specific grey-black palette places Finn visually between his two earlier costumes — darker than the Jakku jacket’s warm brown, lighter than the Stormtrooper armour’s flat white-and-black. The figure’s position in any collection as the transitional Finn — between the identity he chose and the role he’ll grow into — is supported by a colour palette that reads as borrowed authority rather than natural belonging.

Collector note: the First Order Disguise Finn exists at a specific moment in TLJ where the character’s arc had not yet crystallised into the clear Resistance-fighter identity he holds by the film’s end. The Canto Bight mission, which provides this costume’s context, ends in failure and capture — but Finn’s decision to stay and fight on Crait afterward is the arc’s resolution, earned through the failure. The figure captures him mid-arc.

Secondary market prices are modest — widely available at or below original retail. No production variants documented. The coat configuration is the least visually distinctive of the four Finn figures but holds specific narrative significance for collectors tracking the character arc.
