Get ready for an epic addition to your Star Wars collection! The rise of Lord Starkiller is upon us, and it's a must-have for any fan of the Force.
Sam Witwer's iconic portrayal of Starkiller, the ex-apprentice of Darth Vader, is about to take center stage in Hasbro's Black Series toy line. This figure, inspired by the powerful Lord Starkiller form, is a highly anticipated release for fans of the Star Wars: Force Unleashed games.
But here's where it gets controversial... In the original game, players had to make a choice: embrace the Dark Side, defeat Vader, and become Palpatine's deadly assassin. It's an ending that sets the stage for an alternate universe (AU) story, one that explores the consequences of Starkiller's rise to power. And let's just say, it's not a pretty sight for the original trilogy characters.
The "Lord Starkiller" figure is a masterpiece in itself. With multiple articulation points, you can pose him in all sorts of dynamic stances. He comes equipped with two sets of hands, one open and one closed, and an impressive arsenal of six red lightsabers with different hilts that can be attached to his belt. It's a true collector's dream!
This figure marks a surprising comeback for Force Unleashed, especially after Hasbro's previous release of the standard Galen Marek figure. It continues the tradition of the "Gaming Great" series, following the successful launches of Kyle Katarn and Dash Rendar last year. These toys are not just for play; they're works of art that bring the Star Wars universe to life.
Although currently sold out on the Hasbro website, the "Lord Starkiller" figure will officially hit the shelves on July 1st for the reasonable price of $43. Mark your calendars, Star Wars enthusiasts!
And this is the part most people miss... The Star Wars universe is just one of many epic franchises with upcoming releases. Stay tuned for the latest Marvel, Star Trek, and Doctor Who news, and don't forget to explore the future of the DC Universe on film and TV. There's always something exciting on the horizon for fans of sci-fi and fantasy!
