The 2017 Star Wars The Black Series Finn (First Order Disguise) (#51) captures one of the most memorable sequences from The Last Jedi: Finn infiltrating the First Order flagship, The Supremacy, disguised as a First Order officer. This figure represents Finn at a pivotal moment in his character arc — torn between fear, loyalty, and the growing responsibility he feels toward the Resistance. The sculpt blends First Order armor elements with a clean, expressive portrait of John Boyega, resulting in one of the strongest Finn releases in the early Phase 3 era.
Released as part of the Red Line’s Wave 13 assortment, this figure arrived alongside Maz Kanata, Captain Poe Dameron, and the Elite Praetorian Guard. While some collectors initially viewed it as a niche variant, the figure quickly gained appreciation for its accessory loadout, articulation, and the versatility it brings to TLJ displays. The inclusion of the Z6 riot baton and riot shield — weapons made iconic by the FN‑2199 “Traitor!” moment in The Force Awakens — gives Finn a dynamic combat presence rarely seen in his earlier figures.
This release is not a simple repaint. The sculpt features unique armor tooling, a new portrait, and a tailored combination of First Order officer and trooper elements. The result is a figure that feels both screen-accurate and display-flexible, capable of fitting into infiltration scenes, hangar bay battles, or Resistance hero lineups.
Technical Details & Sculpt
Overall Sculpt & Proportions
Finn’s First Order disguise blends officer uniform elements with trooper armor, creating a hybrid look that stands out from standard First Order designs. The sculpt includes:
- segmented chest armor with clean panel lines
- ribbed undersuit texture
- sculpted belt with utility boxes
- armored boots with reinforced plating
- natural proportions matching John Boyega’s build
The silhouette is instantly recognizable as First Order, but the portrait and subtle differences in armor shape make it clear this is Finn — not a generic trooper.
Head Sculpt
The head sculpt is one of the strongest Finn likenesses of the pre‑Photo Real era:
- expressive, determined facial expression
- sculpted hair with natural texture
- clean eye and eyebrow paint
- accurate facial proportions
The portrait captures Finn’s intensity during the infiltration sequence, adding emotional depth to the figure.
Armor & Undersuit
The armor features:
- glossy black and white finish
- sculpted chest plate with First Order insignia
- ribbed undersuit at joints
- flexible lower torso for articulation
- clean separation between armor and fabric textures
The sculpt successfully balances screen accuracy with articulation engineering.
Articulation
Finn includes the full Phase 3 articulation suite:
- ball-jointed head and neck
- hinged shoulders
- swivel-hinge elbows
- swivel-hinge wrists
- torso ball joint
- ball-jointed hips
- thigh swivels
- double-jointed knees
- rocker ankles
The articulation supports dynamic combat poses, defensive stances with the shield, and expressive action silhouettes. The torso joint allows for subtle lean and twist, enhancing realism in dueling or infiltration poses.
Paint & Deco
The paintwork is clean and effective:
- glossy white armor with crisp black separation lines
- matte black undersuit
- natural skin tones on the portrait
- metallic accents on the baton and blaster
- clean white finish on the riot shield
The deco avoids oversaturation, maintaining the stark, militaristic palette of the First Order.

Z6 Riot Control Baton

The portrait art captures Finn’s determined expression, while the red stripe contrasts with the white armor.
