K-2SO (Andor) — Star Wars The Black Series #AND 11

Overview

K-2SO at #AND 11 is the Mural Collection’s super-articulated droid figure — the reprogrammed Imperial security droid who becomes Cassian’s partner in Rogue One and (via Andor’s second season) gets his backstory expanded into how that partnership formed. Released October 2024 single-boxed in Andor-themed packaging. MSRP $24.99. Non-exclusive. One accessory: a blaster (which is meaningful, since the original 2017 figure didn’t include any weapons). 27-joint articulation. The figure is a straight repack of the 2017 Black Series K-2SO from the Rogue One waves, in new packaging that re-positions him for the Andor narrative.

The 2017 Repack Question

This is the same K-2SO mould Hasbro shipped in 2017 — same body, same head, same paint application, same outstanding 27-joint engineering. The Andor release re-uses the existing tooling and changes only the packaging. If you already own the 2017 K-2SO, the #AND 11 is a duplicate figure with no meaningful differentiation beyond the box artwork. If you don’t, this is the more accessible way to acquire the figure — the 2017 release has been hard to find at reasonable secondary-market prices for years, and the 2024 repack ships at standard retail.

The original 2017 K-2SO didn’t come with any weapons. The Andor repack ships with a blaster, which is the figure’s only meaningful change versus the original release. Even though Hasbro didn’t include weapons originally, K-2SO has always been able to hold standard Black Series blasters — the hand sculpts are sized for it — and the inclusion of an actual weapon in the new packaging closes a small but real gap from the 2017 figure.

The 27-Joint Engineering

K-2SO has more joints than any humanoid Black Series figure in the Andor Mural Collection by a significant margin. The 2017 engineering was ahead of its time and still holds up. The arms have swivel joints above the elbows (rotating 360°), swivel elbow joints, and swivel joints below the elbows (also 360°) — this triple-axis arm articulation lets K-2SO adopt the gangly droid-specific poses that match his on-screen movement. The legs use the same pattern with swivel joints above and below the knees. The wrists rotate 360°. The hands have up-and-down hinges. The feet have left-and-right hinges.

The joints are well-hidden in the sculpt and nicely stiff, so the figure holds dynamic poses without drifting. For a droid that’s notably tall and narrow on screen, the build needs to balance properly in unconventional postures — and it does.

The Translucent Joint Pieces

A specific engineering detail: the elbows, knees, and ankle joints were given clear plastic pieces so that you can see through them. This is a screen-accurate detail referencing K-2SO’s exposed-mechanical-joint design — the character’s body shows visible internal structures at the major joints, and Hasbro tooled the figure to preserve that visibility in plastic. From most display angles the translucent joints catch the light and add depth to the figure’s silhouette.

Paint and Weathering

The paint application gives the droid a slight shiny, metallic appearance, which captures the on-screen visual reading correctly. K-2SO shows some wear with subtle weathering applied around the ankles, shins, knees, arms, shoulders and head — the deployment-grime detailing that signals a working droid rather than a freshly-assembled one. The weathering is restrained but consistent across the figure, which is the right approach for a droid that’s been operational for years rather than minutes.

The head sculpt captures K-2SO’s likeness perfectly — the specific face structure, the eye placement, the antenna and cranial details all read as the screen-accurate character rather than a generic security droid.

What’s Genuinely New

Beyond the blaster inclusion and the Andor packaging, nothing on this figure is new. Same sculpt, same paint, same articulation, same engineering. For collectors building Andor displays specifically, the new packaging integrates K-2SO into the Mural Collection’s boxed display visual. For collectors who already own the 2017 figure, there’s no functional reason to buy this version unless you specifically want the Andor box.

The buying calculus is straightforward: if you don’t have a Black Series K-2SO, buy this one — it’s the most accessible version at retail. If you already have the 2017 figure, skip this unless completionism is the goal.

The Andor Series Two Context

Andor’s second season expanded K-2SO’s backstory significantly, showing how Cassian acquired and reprogrammed the security droid in scenes that bridge the gap between the show’s first season and the events of Rogue One. The figure doesn’t reference any specific Andor moment — the sculpt predates Andor by five years — but the Andor packaging positions K-2SO as part of Cassian’s expanded crew rather than just as a Rogue One supporting character.

Articulation Summary

27 joints total. Ball-jointed upper neck, ball-jointed lower neck, two ball-jointed shoulders, two swivel joints above the elbows (360° rotation), two swivel elbow joints (up and down), two swivel joints below the elbows (360°), two swivel wrists (360°), two hand hinges (up and down), one ball-jointed upper body, two ball-jointed hips, two swivel joints above the knees (360°), two swivel knee joints, two swivel joints below the knees (360°), two swivel ankles, two foot hinges (left and right). The combination supports the full range of K-2SO’s screen-accurate movement.

Secondary Market

Single-boxed, non-exclusive, October 2024. Available at MSRP through standard retail and the secondary market. The 2017 original is significantly more expensive on the aftermarket due to its age and limited availability — collectors looking for K-2SO at fair pricing should buy the 2024 repack rather than chasing the 2017 release. Verify the blaster is included; it’s the only accessory and the only differentiator from the original release.

Verdict

If you don’t already own a Black Series K-2SO, the #AND 11 is the figure to buy. The 27-joint engineering still holds up, the sculpt captures the character cleanly, the paint and weathering are appropriate, and the new blaster inclusion fills a gap from the 2017 release. If you do own the 2017 figure, this is a skippable repack with new packaging and a blaster as the only meaningful additions.

The reprogrammed Imperial security droid. The most articulated humanoid figure in the Andor Mural Collection. The 2017 mould that’s still better than most figures Hasbro has tooled since. Buy it if you need K-2SO; skip if you have him.
