Funny how everyone bashed on me for liking the cloth goods on black series Kylo Ren and now everyone praises it.
Wow.
I wouldn't praise it, but having the Figuarts in hand now, I like their Ren Hood a lot but where it suffers is that the top portion of the plastic hood just needed to be designed to sit just a little lower or maybe just a thinner portion of plastic.
As a Customizer , I can tell you, all it needed was too sit a inch or two lower and you got the perfect non soft goods look. I don't think it was an intentional screwup, I believe Bandai didn't have the right source material to begin with.
No offense to Jay's using of the BS parts, but I personally prefer the Figuarts parts. The change in color with the Figuarts body with the really black BS cloak just seems off Imo
Have to look at source pics of Ren but I thought the outfit was one solid color, and does the hood have a pattern like that, if so, how can Figuarts miss that
I wonder if Bandai were using this reference
You can see how much of a gap the top portion of the hood to the helmet just like the figure, but the actual movie it sat a tad lower
