I would love

if they included damaged parts. A head with a lightsaber through it or deep damage to really make dynamic displays. Something similar to the Yoda/Clonetrooper Premium format SSC did a while back.
 
of the two which to buy. Would have to see movie again to recognize which guy did what.
 
Is this something you read from an official source? Cause if those were the Knights, that was the biggest waste. :mad:

Naa... just something that went through my head when I was watching the movie. I hope they explore this a bit more, but we’re running out of movies! Good nes is that the creator of the Knights is back to finish out the trilogy.
 
After seeing the movie a second time, I definitely want (need) one or two of these guys and Kylo. Still undecided on Rey as I’m trying to keep from having multiple versions of characters. I have the TFA version of her.
 
I too hope that the questions asked in TFA are satisfied in IX but JJ is more likely to ask questions than to answer them. Maybe the story group will say “now look, MF, the fans needs some resolution here. We GOTTA stick this landing!” but I seriously doubt that’ll happen nor, based on his story telling style, do I expect JJ to give concrete answers to the biggest questions he initially asked in TFA.
 
I gotta admit that the scene with the Praetorian Guards was quite impressive and my favorite from TLJ, but that's about it. I would't want these on the shelf reminding me of the movie.

I do think that the color HT made these in is wrong, they appeared a much darker shade of red on film.
 
Here’s a detailed breakdown of all the guards in the scene from someone on another forum (the names are based on the Black Series figures):
Rey Kills (Amazon - Heavy Blade 1) Right through the chest behind Kylo (Death 1)
Kylo Kills (4-Pack - Dual Blade 1 (Connected Mode)) Right with a slice down the front of his body (Death 2)
Scene Cuts to Finn/Rose
Kylo Punches (Amazon - Chain Whip (Rigid)) in the face while Rey is fighting (Standard - Chain Whip (Flexible))
Rey Kills (Standard - Chain Whip (Flexible)) (Death 3) and throws whip with Saber lighting the curtains on fire and faces off with (4-Pack Dual Blade 2)
Kylo is facing off aqainst 2 (Standard - Blade Staff 1&2) and (Amazon - Heavy Blade 2) comes in and strikes in the middle
Kylo pushes all three back and lunges at (Amazon - Heavy Blade 2) and spears him straight through the chest (Death 4) Body is thrown in the electric shredder.
Now (Amazon - Chain Whip (Rigid)) joins (Standard - Blade Staff 1&2) and (Amazon - Chain Whip (Rigid)) activates flexible mode. During a 3 Way attack, Kylo deflects and then slices (Amazon - Chain Whip (Flexible))'s neck (Death 5).
Rey is still fighting (4-Pack Dual Blade 2)
Kylo Steals (Standard - Blade Staff 1)'s weapon and fights off (Standard - Blade Staff 2).
(Standard - Blade Staff 1) comes in unarmed and defends against attack using his fore arms. Kylo guts (Standard - Blade Staff 1) with lightsaber (Death 6)
Kylo is put in a full Nelson by (Standard - Blade Staff 2) and Rey continues to fight (4-Pack 2).
Rey drops lightsaber to second hand and kills (4-Pack - Dual Blade 2) (Death 7) and throws saber to unarmed Kylo who ignite kills (Standard - Blade Staff 2) through head (Death 8 )

(Amazon - Heavy Blade 1)(Death 1) - Rey
(4-Pack - Dual Blade 1 (Connected Mode))(Death 2) - Kylo
(Standard - Chain Whip (Flexible))(Death 3) - Rey
(Amazon - Heavy Blade 2)(Death 4) - Kylo
(Amazon - Chain Whip (Flexible))(Death 5) - Kylo
(Standard - Blade Staff 1)(Death 6) - Kylo
(4-Pack - Dual Blade 2)(Death 7) - Rey
(Standard - Blade Staff 2)(Death 8 ) - Kylo

Final Praetorian Count: Amazon - 3, Standard - 3, 4-Pack - 2
Final Kill Count: Rey - 3, Kylo - 5
Personally I’d need both figures for the double blade and chain whip. If I absolutely had to choose one it’d be the double blade since it has both of the helmets i like.

They were not the Knights of Ren. They were Snoke's 8 guards, much like the Emperor's Royal guard. The Knights of Ren are a group of 6 Dark Side warriors plus Kylo. They were under command of Snoke who helped slaughter Luke's Jedi students. Its a shame we didn't see them in TLJ so i hope they are in IX.
 
Elite? These guys got their butts kicked by a girl with no training.

Exactly. And they fight them AFTER Snoke is killed and all get killed themselves by an light-saber wielding amateur and a guy who couldn't beat said amateur in the last movie. WORST. BODYGUARDS. EVER.

Thanks for posting this, may get a fulls set from Black series, don't think I'd touch these in 1/6th with a 10' pole unless they went into deep discount territory and I was drunk. :lol
 
Based on the heads release and the different stands I ordered 4 and 4 ...then will mix and match to the movie when it is out on Blu Ray.
