Second Sister Inquisitor (Carbonized) — Star Wars The Black Series

Overview

The Second Sister Inquisitor at the Carbonized sub-line captures the Imperial Inquisitor antagonist from Jedi: Fallen Order — the vengeful Sith-trained Inquisitor pursuing the surviving Jedi Padawan Cal Kestis across the canonical 2019 video game’s Imperial-purge narrative. Released on Triple Force Friday (October 4, 2019) single-boxed exclusively at GameStop and ThinkGeek stores. GameStop exclusive at $26.99 — structurally elevated above the standard $24.99 Carbonized sub-line baseline. 18 joints. Six accessories: a plastic cloak, two shoulder pads, a round (double-bladed) lightsaber hilt, and two removable red lightsaber blades. The figure is identical to the regular released Second Sister Inquisitor except for the paint application and the packaging.

The Premium Pricing Position

This is one of the most structurally distinctive Carbonized sub-line releases — the $26.99 MSRP is $2 above the standard $24.99 Carbonized baseline that affects most other releases in the sub-line. For collectors evaluating per-figure Carbonized sub-line value, this Second Sister positions structurally above the entry-level Carbonized configurations.

The premium pricing partly reflects the loaded six-accessory loadout — most contemporary Carbonized releases ship with one to three accessories, and the Second Sister’s six-accessory configuration delivers exclusive-tier accessory density that justifies elevated pricing. The dual-shoulder-pad-plus-cape engineering, the multi-blade lightsaber with removable component flexibility, and the GameStop-exclusive distribution channel collectively support the premium positioning relative to baseline Carbonized configurations.

The Six-Accessory Loadout

Hasbro included a removable plastic cloak, a double-bladed lightsaber, and two shoulder pads with the figure. The accessory configuration captures the canonical Inquisitor equipment loadout — the round dual-blade lightsaber that defines the Inquisitor character class’s distinctive weapon configuration, the swappable cloak-or-shoulder-pads costume engineering for display-state flexibility, and the dual removable lightsaber blades supporting multiple deployment configurations.

The red blades can be detached from the lightsaber hilt — this way it can be displayed on, off, or lit on one side. Specific dual-blade engineering worth flagging — the round Inquisitor lightsaber configuration supports three distinct combat-display states: fully-deployed (both blades attached, canonical dual-saber spinning configuration), partially-deployed (one blade attached, one stowed for single-saber display), and fully-stowed (no blades attached, hilt-only carrying configuration). This is structurally rare engineering across the broader Black Series catalogue — most lightsaber configurations support deployed-or-stowed binary states rather than the dual-state variation the Inquisitor’s specific weapon class requires.

For collectors building Inquisitor-class display configurations, the dual-blade engineering supports the canonical Jedi: Fallen Order combat-pose configurations directly. The Second Sister’s distinctive partial-deployment moments throughout the source video game (where she switches between full-dual-blade combat and single-blade or hilt-only configurations during cutscenes and combat encounters) all read as canonical display states that the figure’s accessory engineering supports correctly.

The Cloak-or-Shoulder-Pads Swap Engineering

The plastic cloak plugs into two holes on top of the shoulders. When the cloak is removed, the two shoulder pads can be plugged into the holes on the shoulders. Specific swap-component engineering worth flagging — the figure’s shoulder-mount system supports two distinct equipment configurations through plug-and-swap component management. With the cloak attached, the figure reads as the canonical fully-cloaked Inquisitor at-rest reading; with the cloak removed and the shoulder pads attached instead, the figure reads as the cloak-removed combat-active configuration.

This is structurally meaningful equipment-management engineering — most Black Series figures with removable equipment support either with-equipment or without-equipment binary states. The swap-shoulder-component approach delivers three distinct equipment-configuration display states (cloak-on, no-cloak-no-shoulder-pads, no-cloak-with-shoulder-pads), supporting more display variation than typical removable-equipment configurations provide.

The Permanent Belt and Skirt

The belt with attached plastic skirt is not removable. Standard integrated-equipment design for the lower-body costume configuration — the belt-and-skirt component ships as a fixed body sculpt rather than a detachable accessory. For collectors who want costume kitbashing flexibility for the lower-body configuration, the integrated approach is restrictive; for collectors who want the canonical Inquisitor reading, the integrated equipment captures the source material correctly.

There is no head underneath the helmet. Standard Inquisitor sub-line design choice — single helmeted configuration without an unmasked-Trilla-Suduri head sculpt for reveal-state display. Compare with the Phase 4-tooled standard Second Sister Inquisitor at id=23640 which also doesn’t include the unmasked reveal capability. The canonical Inquisitor character class is structured around the masked configuration; reveal-state engineering hasn’t been part of any Hasbro Inquisitor release across the sub-line.

The Carbonized Paint and Sculpt

The carbonized paint application looks cool — it gives the figure’s helmet and outfit a grey and reflective appearance. Specific paint application commendation worth flagging — unlike the deep blue carbonized treatment that distinguishes the Darth Vader (Carbonized) at #P4-CARB-06, the Second Sister Carbonized leans into a grey reflective finish that captures the canonical Inquisitor metallic-armour visual reading appropriately within the carbonized sub-line aesthetic.

For collectors building Carbonized sub-line displays, the grey reflective Second Sister provides aesthetic variation across the broader sub-line ensemble alongside the distinctive deep-blue Vader, the silver Stormtrooper at #P4-CARB-07, the candy-apple-red Sith Trooper at #P4-CARB-04, and the canonical metallic Mandalorian at #P4-CARB-02.

The Black Series Second Sister Inquisitor stands well on display without falling over — appropriate Phase 4-era standing-stability engineering across multiple combat-pose display configurations.

Articulation

18 joints. Ball-jointed neck, ball-jointed shoulders, ball-jointed elbows, ball-jointed wrists, ball-jointed waist, ball-jointed hips, swivel thighs, swivel joints above the knees, swivel joints below the knees, ball-jointed ankles. Above the 17-joint Phase 4 baseline thanks to dual-axis knee articulation. Standard mid-tier articulation count appropriate to the Inquisitor character class without the higher-end butterfly-shoulder or rocker-ankle configurations that distinguish more recent Phase 4 releases.

Distribution and the Triple Force Friday Lineup

GameStop and ThinkGeek exclusive at $26.99, Triple Force Friday (October 4, 2019) single-boxed launch. The GameStop/ThinkGeek dual-channel distribution placed the figure within the most-restrictive retail channel of the four-figure Triple Force Friday Carbonized launch wave — the contemporary Carbonized launches at Target (Mandalorian #P4-CARB-02), Walmart (Jet Trooper #P4-CARB-01), and Amazon (Sith Trooper #P4-CARB-04) all delivered structurally broader retail accessibility than the GameStop-channel Second Sister.

For collectors building the Carbonized sub-line specifically, this Second Sister is the Jedi: Fallen Order-source acquisition complementing the broader sub-line’s video-game-source representation. Aftermarket pricing on the secondary market reflects the GameStop-channel restrictive distribution and the elevated $26.99 MSRP — secondary-market pricing has tracked structurally higher than the broader-distribution Carbonized contemporaries.

Other Second Sister Inquisitor Figures

The Second Sister Inquisitor has been a recurring character-class release subject across multiple Black Series configurations. Other notable releases include the First Edition Second Sister variant (figure id=22587), the standard Black Series Second Sister Inquisitor from 2019 (figure id=23640), and the Phase 4 Black Series Second Sister Inquisitor Jedi: Fallen Order 3-Pack release (figure id=30750). The Carbonized release joins this character-class catalogue as the Triple Force Friday GameStop-exclusive special-paint-finish premium-pricing release.

Secondary Market

GameStop and ThinkGeek exclusive single-boxed release with Triple Force Friday packaging, October 2019. Available through GameStop original retail and the secondary market with structurally elevated aftermarket pricing reflecting the most-restrictive-channel distribution of the four Triple Force Friday Carbonized launches. Verify the plastic cloak, both shoulder pads, the round lightsaber hilt, and both removable red blades are all included. The two smaller red blades are the most easily lost components during transit due to their compact configuration.

Verdict

The Second Sister Inquisitor (Carbonized) at the 2019 Triple Force Friday GameStop exclusive launch is a structurally premium Carbonized sub-line release — the elevated $26.99 MSRP positions structurally above the baseline $24.99 sub-line pricing, the loaded six-accessory loadout delivers exclusive-tier accessory density that justifies the premium positioning, the round dual-blade lightsaber engineering with removable individual blades supports three distinct combat-display states (fully-deployed, partial-deployment, fully-stowed), the cloak-or-shoulder-pads swap engineering delivers three distinct equipment-configuration display states beyond typical binary removable-equipment approaches, the grey reflective carbonized paint captures the canonical Inquisitor metallic-armour aesthetic appropriately, and the figure stands reliably across multiple display configurations.

The integrated belt-and-skirt limits lower-body costume kitbashing. The non-removable helmet without unmasked reveal capability is consistent with the broader Inquisitor character class but doesn’t support reveal-state display. The GameStop-exclusive restrictive distribution combined with elevated MSRP makes this structurally one of the harder Carbonized acquisitions of the Triple Force Friday launch wave.

Buy this figure if you collect the Carbonized sub-line as a complete set, if you appreciate the dual-blade lightsaber engineering with three-state combat configurations as collecting priority, if you want the loaded six-accessory loadout that’s structurally rare across the broader Carbonized sub-line, if you build Jedi: Fallen Order-source character configurations specifically, or if the cloak-or-shoulder-pads swap engineering matches your costume-modification display preferences. Skip if the elevated $26.99 MSRP compared to standard Carbonized $24.99 pricing meaningfully affects your per-figure value calculation, or if the GameStop-channel distribution is structurally inaccessible for your acquisition workflow.

The Inquisitor with the carbonized grey reflective paint and the dual-blade round lightsaber. The figure with the swap-shoulder cloak-or-pads engineering and the loaded six-accessory loadout. The Second Sister that anchors GameStop-channel Triple Force Friday Carbonized acquisitions as the premium-pricing flagship of the launch wave. GameStop exclusive distribution, October 4, 2019.
