The protagonist of the Star Wars: The Force Unleashed saga, Starkiller (Galen Marek), made a triumphant return to The Vintage Collection in 2023 as part of the 40th Anniversary celebration of Return of the Jedi (though technically a "Gaming Greats" adjacent release). This reissue brought back one of the most popular Expanded Universe characters in his iconic "Hero" flight suit. As the secret apprentice to Darth Vader, Starkiller represents the raw, unbridled power of the Force, and this 2023 release finally gave the sculpt the modern paint application it deserved.

Technical Details & Sculpt

• Design & Silhouette: The figure utilizes the 2012 base sculpt, which perfectly captures the slim, agile frame of the young Dark Side adept. The "Hero" outfit features a tactical flight suit with various straps, pouches, and a distinct chest piece that reflects his role as an Imperial assassin.
• Photo-Real Deco: The 2023 reissue is a massive improvement over the original due to the Photo-real face printing. The likeness to Sam Witwer is remarkably accurate, capturing his intense, brooding stare and detailed hair textures that make the figure feel far more cinematic.
• Articulation: Featuring premium TVC articulation, including ball-jointed shoulders, elbows, and knees. The specialized wrist joints allow for the reverse-grip lightsaber style that is a hallmark of Starkiller’s aggressive combat form.
• Display Utility: This is the definitive Starkiller for any Force Unleashed or Imperial display. He is best positioned in a dynamic Force-power pose alongside Darth Vader (VC08) or engaging in a duel with the Imperial Navy Commando (VC10).

Accessories & Equipment

Starkiller comes heavily armed for his mission to hunt down the remaining Jedi. He includes his signature lightsaber with a translucent red blade and a highly detailed metallic-silver hilt. Additionally, the figure features two removable lightsaber hilts (one unlit) that can be attached to his belt. The 2023 release also maintains the removable pilot harness and gear, allowing for a more streamlined combat look or a fully-kitted "mission-ready" appearance.
