The 2015 Star Wars The Black Series Finn (Jakku) is one of the most important figures in the early Red Line era, designated as #30 and released as part of the launch wave for The Force Awakens. As one of the first new‑trilogy characters introduced in the 6‑inch scale, Finn carried the responsibility of representing a new generation of Star Wars heroes. His sculpt, accessories, and overall presentation reflect the early Phase 3 ambition: sharper proportions, improved articulation, and a more cinematic approach to character likeness.
Finn (Jakku) captures the character during the earliest moments of his journey — a former First Order stormtrooper who defects, crash‑lands on Jakku, and begins forging his own identity. The figure’s defining visual element is Poe Dameron’s jacket, a key narrative symbol that became one of the most recognizable costume pieces of the sequel trilogy. Combined with the blaster pistol and layered clothing sculpt, the figure delivers a grounded, screen‑accurate representation of Finn’s first appearance.
As one of the first Red Line releases, Finn helped establish the new packaging identity — bold red banding, character portrait art, and a unified numbering system that would define the Black Series for years. For collectors, Finn (Jakku) remains a historically significant figure: the first Finn ever produced in the 6‑inch scale, the first hero of the sequel trilogy in the line, and a foundational piece of the TFA launch assortment.
Technical Details & Sculpt
-
Overall Sculpt & Proportions:
Finn’s sculpt reflects the early Red Line shift toward more natural proportions and improved anatomy. The figure features a lean, athletic build consistent with John Boyega’s appearance in The Force Awakens. The layered clothing — undershirt, jacket, and trousers — is sculpted with realistic folds and texture variation. The silhouette is screen‑accurate, with the jacket providing a strong visual anchor. -
Head Sculpt:
The head sculpt predates Photo Real technology but still captures a recognizable likeness. The facial structure, hair texture, and expression reflect Finn’s early TFA appearance — alert, determined, and slightly overwhelmed by the chaos around him. The paintwork is clean for the era, with sharply printed eyes and naturalistic skin tones. -
Poe Dameron’s Jacket:
The jacket is the standout element of the sculpt. It features:- raised panel lines
- ribbed shoulder sections
- red resistance patch
- textured leather‑like finish
- asymmetrical pocket layout
The jacket drapes naturally over the torso and arms, with sculpted folds that create depth under directional lighting. It is one of the most iconic costume pieces of the sequel trilogy, and the figure captures it with impressive accuracy.
-
Clothing & Texture:
The undershirt features subtle ribbing, while the trousers include seam lines and pocket detailing. The boots are sculpted with straps and tread patterns, grounding the figure in a realistic, lived‑in aesthetic. -
Articulation:
Finn includes:- ball‑jointed head and neck
- hinged shoulders and elbows
- swivel‑hinge wrists
- torso ball joint
- hinged hips
- double‑jointed knees
- rocker ankles
The articulation supports blaster‑ready poses, running stances, and expressive action poses. The torso joint allows for subtle lean adjustments, enhancing realism. The rocker ankles provide stability for wide stances, and the elbows offer enough range for two‑handed blaster grips.
-
Paint & Deco:
The jacket features a warm tan base with red and gray accents. The undershirt is painted in muted tones, and the trousers are finished in dark gray. The blaster pistol includes metallic detailing. The overall deco is clean and restrained, emphasizing texture and silhouette rather than heavy weathering.
Accessories & Equipment
Finn (Jakku) includes:
- Blaster pistol — compact, screen‑accurate, with metallic accents
The blaster pistol fits securely in the right hand and supports both one‑handed and two‑handed poses. The sculpt includes ribbed barrel detailing, a defined grip, and a compact silhouette consistent with First Order sidearms.
While the accessory loadout is minimal, it reflects Finn’s early TFA appearance, where he carries only a borrowed blaster during his escape from Jakku.
Packaging (Red Line)
As part of the Red Line, Finn (Jakku) comes in the Phase 3 packaging style:
- matte black box
- bold red accent stripe
- character portrait art
- number #30 printed on the side
- large window display
The red stripe became the defining visual identity of the Black Series for years, and Finn’s packaging is one of the earliest examples of this now‑iconic design. The portrait art captures Finn’s determined expression, reinforcing the figure’s identity. The window showcases the jacket and blaster effectively.
