The Walmart Kylo Ren finally came out after three months of waiting. I initially imagined this was going to be available back in Winter when the TRU Rey and Target Luke figures were popping up and apparently a very small number of these were released at that time but overall no it did not come out. I predicted after a while that they would wait until TLJ's home release to release this figure and apparently this was accurate. For the most part this figure is the same thing as the regular TLJ Kylo with some minor paint differences. The notable differences are the face paint being much more pale with the scar being redder and more prominent, the cape being fabric instead of plastic, and the die-cast helmet head. The cape being fabric is overall poorly executed, while he can strike more dynamic poses with it than the plastic cape it falls off easily and just doesn't look as good (especially lame given that original solicit images for this one showed what looked like a great fabric cape with notable detailing). I feel like some kind of collar to keep the cape on would have been a huge improvement. I do really like the helmet, being die-cast gives it a nice metal appearance. The throne floor piece doesn't actually connect to Snoke's throne, it just fits in front of the throne but I appreciate the display it creates anyway. Personally I'm glad I skipped the regular TLJ Kylo and waited for this one, even though he ditches the helmet very early in the movie I still prefer having the option for my figure to wear it.
