The 2019 Star Wars The Black Series Supreme Leader Kylo Ren (#90) captures Ben Solo at his most imposing — newly crowned as Supreme Leader of the First Order and wearing the reforged “Kintsugi” helmet that symbolizes his fractured identity. This figure represents Kylo as he appears throughout The Rise of Skywalker, combining the intimidating silhouette of his earlier designs with the cracked, glowing red seams of his restored mask.
Released as part of Wave 25, this figure arrived near the end of the Red Line era and stands out for its sharp sculpting, strong Adam Driver likeness beneath the helmet, and the inclusion of a soft‑goods cape that adds dramatic flow to the figure’s silhouette. The armor features deep panel lines, layered textures, and screen‑accurate proportions.
The crossguard lightsaber — still unstable, still iconic — completes the Supreme Leader’s loadout.
