I would actually be interested in the new Kylo Ren if he came with a removable helmet or an alternate masked head but if it's just unmasked then I'll most likely pass.

It's definitely almost all in the paint. So many times, I've seen Black Series headsculpts given real paint jobs, and they look damn close to the actor. The problem is the minimal paint job, which is why I'm glad the Black Series is getting the dot-matrix printing that Legends has had for a bit, so the faces can actually look great for once. I'm disappointed that it'll take so long for us to get them though; the first figures with the dot-matrix printing are coming out spring 2018, which means most of the TLJ figures will miss it, and so many OT figures have already been made that would have to be remade to get it.
