Theme
Star Wars
Year Released
2019, debuting with the Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker wave.
Rarity
Uncommon. While not limited to a single set, it was only produced during the final film's product cycle and has been discontinued for several years.
Head
Double-sided head featuring a flesh tone with one determined expression and one angry expression with dark circles around the eyes. Covered by a unique molded helmet with silver line printing and 'red repair line' detailing (kintsugi-style).
Torso
Black torso with detailed dark grey and silver printing representing a textured tunic and utility belt. The printing continues to the back. Black arms and hands.
Legs
Black legs with continued printing from the torso to represent the lower part of the tunic and pleated boots. No side printing.
Accessories
Includes the signature crossguard lightsaber with a trans-red blade and a dark grey hilt. This specific figure also originally included a jagged black cape with a frayed edge pattern.
Color Scheme
Dominant Black with Dark Sea Grey and Silver accents. The most distinctive color is the trans-red blade and the subtle red 'repair' print on the helmet.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the helmet, torso, and legs. Alignment is generally excellent. The helmet print is particularly impressive due to the curvature of the mold.
Variants
Variants include the 'Force Awakens' version (sw0663 - smooth helmet, hood) and the 'Last Jedi' version (sw0885 - scarred face, no helmet/cape). This version is the specific 'v3' based on the third film.
Condition Notes
The helmet and torso are durable, but the black cape is prone to fraying and creasing. The 'crossguard' piece on the lightsaber hilt can snap if stressed too much.
Estimated Value
New (in-set) context: N/A; Used Complete: $10 - $18 USD; New condition (out of set): $20+; Individual torso: $4-$6.
Price (New)
Appeared in sets ranging from the $30 75264 microfighter (with different cape) to the $159 75256 Kylo Ren's Shuttle.
Compatible Sets
75256 Kylo Ren's Shuttle, 75236 Duel on Starkiller Base (face variants), and 75264 Kylo Ren's Shuttle Microfighter.
Character Background
The son of Han Solo and Leia Organa, Kylo Ren (Ben Solo) is the Supreme Leader of the First Order. This version depicts him after he rebuilt his mask following the events of The Last Jedi.
Design Notes
The helmet mold effectively captures the 'reforged' look from the film using fine red ink to simulate Sith alchemy repair lines.
Similar Minifigures
sw0663 Kylo Ren, sw0885 Kylo Ren, Knight of Ren (Vicrul or Cardo), Darth Vader (standard black armor counterparts).
Collectibility
High demand among Sequel Trilogy fans. As the definitive 'final' version of the character, it holds its value well as an essential figure for Star Wars collectors.
History
Initially released for Force Friday 2019, this figure represented a design correction after Kylo Ren spent the second film without his iconic mask.
Interesting Facts
The red lines on the helmet are a direct reference to the Japanese art of Kintsugi, where broken pottery is repaired with gold to show its history as a strength.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside the Knights of Ren or on a light-up stand to highlight the red lightsaber blade. Looks best in front of his 75256 Shuttle or in a Starkiller Base diorama.
Modification Potential
Excellent. Parts are interchangeable with other Kylo Ren versions to create a 'masked with hood' or 'unmasked with cape' look using standard Lego hoods.
Overall Assessment
A top-tier Star Wars minifigure with specific, movie-accurate detailing. Its value is stable and its design remains one of the best for the Sequel Trilogy line.
