Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker<\/em><\/a> has revealed Kylo Ren\u2019s destiny (never fear, no spoilers here). Star Wars<\/em> fans will be discussing and debating his place in the parade of the franchise\u2019s villains for years to come.<\/p>\n

Whatever your opinion of the leader of the Knights of Ren and the First Order, you\u2019ll want this dramatic Kylo Ren statue to have a prominent place of honor in your Star Wars<\/em> collection!<\/p>\n

The former Ben Solo is the newest addition to Kotobukiya\u2019s line of dramatically posed, intricately detailed Artist statues. A companion piece to \u201cDescendant of Light,\u201d the company\u2019s collectible statue of Rey<\/a>, the \u201cCloaked in Shadow\u201d ARTFX Artist Series Kylo Ren statue is a tremendous depiction of our heroine\u2019s dark counterpart.<\/p>\n

Kamome Shirahama’s Striking Portrait of a Struggling Soul<\/h2>\n

Kamome Shirahama<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n

Japanese manga artist Kamome Shirahama is the creator of the fantasy series Tongari Boushi no Atelier [Witch Hat Atelier], as well as a frequent cover artist for both DC Comics and Marvel – including the latter\u2019s Star Wars<\/em> titles.<\/p>\n

No wonder, then, that she has produced such a compelling portrait of the Sequel Trilogy\u2019s \u201csupervillain.\u201d<\/p>\n

Her rendering of Kylo Ren doesn\u2019t bear much literal resemblance to Adam Driver, but it expertly captures the character\u2019s intense inner conflict. Though garbed in classically sinister trappings, he cannot completely conceal the innocence and goodness he wants so desperately to rid himself of forever.<\/p>\n

\"Kylo<\/p>\n

Standing about 11-inches high, Kylo Ren<\/a> cuts a dashing if not menacing figure, his black robes, and capes swirling around him. In his left hand, he grips his immediately identifiable crimson, crossguard lightsaber. In his right, he holds his distinctive, chrome-faced helmet – except when he\u2019s holding the charred and melted mask of Darth Vader, which also comes with the statue and which you can swap out for Kylo\u2019s (whenever you feel like finishing what the Dark Lord of the Sith started!).<\/p>\n

Each statue comes with a print of Kamome Shirahama\u2019s \u201cCloaked in Shadow\u201d concept art, allowing those who view the piece in your collection to admire how faithfully Kotobukiya has realized the artist\u2019s vision.<\/p>\n
