Zorii Bliss — Star Wars The Black Series #103
The Black Series Zorii Bliss from The Rise of Skywalker — Red Line #103, 2020. The Kijimi spice runner in distinctive helmet with dual blaster pistols. The only Black Series Zorii Bliss. Collector guide.
Overview
Red Line #103 is Zorii Bliss — the Kijimi spice runner and Poe Dameron’s old contact in The Rise of Skywalker, played by Keri Russell behind one of TROS’s most visually striking designs: the golden full-face helmet with its narrow visor, worn throughout the film and never removed on screen. Zorii Bliss is one of TROS’s most efficiently characterised supporting characters — her history with Poe is implied rather than explained, her moral position (criminal pragmatist who chooses to help the Resistance anyway) is established quickly, and her design communicates her specifically without requiring a face reveal.
Dual blaster pistols. 19 joints. The only Black Series Zorii Bliss. MSRP $19.99.
The Helmet Design
The Zorii Bliss helmet is one of TROS’s strongest new character designs — the golden full-face coverage with the narrow horizontal visor creates a distinctive silhouette that reads as both practical (full facial protection) and expressive (the narrow visor gives the impression of someone perpetually evaluating). Keri Russell’s performance communicates through posture and voice rather than facial expression, which the helmet enforces as a design choice.
The figure renders the helmet accurately — the specific gold tone, the visor placement, the overall head proportions — at production quality appropriate to the 2020 Red Line. No portrait quality concerns because no portrait is visible; the helmet is the display element.
Zorii’s Role in TROS
Zorii Bliss exists in TROS to provide Poe Dameron with a personal history — the implication that he was a spice runner before he was a Resistance pilot, that his charm and risk-tolerance developed in a specific criminal context, and that he left that world behind in a way that left complications with the people he left. Her possession of a First Order officer’s badge — her intended escape from Kijimi — and her eventual decision to use it to help the Resistance communicates the specific choice structure of someone who has built survival skills and then chooses to deploy them for something larger than survival.
The Only Black Series Zorii Bliss
One release. No updates. For any TROS display including Zorii, this is the only option. The dual blaster pistols are the figure’s weapons verification point on secondary market purchases.
Secondary Market
Above-retail secondary market prices — unique character, distinctive helmet design, no replacement. No production variants documented.
Verdict
The only Black Series Zorii Bliss. Buy for the TROS Kijimi display, the distinctive golden helmet silhouette, or Red Line sequence completion.
The Never-Removed Helmet
The Zorii Bliss helmet’s specific significance is that it is never removed on screen — Keri Russell appears in TROS wearing the golden helmet throughout, and the face beneath it is never shown to the audience in the theatrical release. This creates a character whose identity is entirely communicated through silhouette, posture, voice, and the specific visual of the narrow visor’s horizontal line.
The Black Series figure honours this by rendering the helmet as the primary display element — there is no portrait beneath it at this production stage, which means the figure reads exactly as the character reads on screen. The golden helmet communicates Zorii completely to any viewer who has seen the film.
The Kijimi Setting and Zorii’s History with Poe
The Kijimi spice-running background that TROS implies for Poe — and which Zorii embodies — is one of the sequel trilogy’s more interesting retroactive character details. Poe Dameron’s charm, his risk-tolerance, and his specific competence in unorthodox situations all read differently when understood as skills developed in criminal operations rather than purely in Resistance service. Zorii is the physical reminder of that history: the person he knew before the Resistance became his entire identity.
Her possession of the First Order officer’s badge — her planned escape from Kijimi — is the character’s most pointed accessory (not represented in the figure’s loadout but relevant to her display context). She has a plan to leave. She chooses not to use it for herself.
Secondary Market and Rarity
The only Black Series Zorii Bliss means secondary market prices reflect the single-source constraint. The dual blaster pistols should both be present on secondary market purchases.
Zorii Bliss at #103 is the first Red Line figure released in 2020 — the sequence’s second-to-last production year before the Phase 4 transition. The 2020 wave brings Zorii, Commander Bly, Knight of Ren, Sith Jet Trooper, Count Dooku, Geonosis Battle Droid, Plo Koon, Anakin Padawan, Obi-Wan Jedi Knight, and Kit Fisto to close the numbered sequence. No production variants documented.
Zorii Bliss alongside Rey with D-O (#91) and Jannah (#98) creates the TROS female principal cast at consistent Red Line 2019-2020 production quality. The three figures — the Jedi, the Kijimi smuggler, and the former Stormtrooper — represent three very different paths to fighting against the Final Order, the specific diversity of motivation that TROS’s Resistance includes.
Verify both blaster pistols on secondary market purchases. The paired pistols are Zorii’s entire accessory loadout — a figure with only one pistol is half-equipped. The golden helmet condition is the other quality consideration for secondary market purchases.
Zorii Bliss at #103 is also the Red Line’s most complete face-obscured character — where Boba Fett and the Mandalorian have helmet designs with implied faces, Zorii’s narrow visor gives even less of the face beneath. The display effect is that of a character defined entirely by action and silhouette, which is exactly how she operates in the film.
Zorii Bliss’s golden helmet against the Resistance and criminal underworld figures of TROS creates immediate visual contrast on any shelf. The character is underserved by the film’s runtime; the figure is not underserved by its production.
The Kijimi setting — cold, criminal, under First Order occupation — is the specific environment Zorii embodies, and the figure carries that environment’s aesthetic in its golden-helmet severity.
