Action Figure #467: Star Wars The Black Series Darth Revan

 A case of bad amnesia.

 I know who Darth Revan is, do you? To be honest, while I played KOTOR when I was younger.. I never got to the big reveal. It felt as if my game had bugged or something, as I couldn't figure out what I had to do, I think I was at a point in which you had to find things around various planets? Something like that? Whichever the case, I eventually read about Darth Revan, so I know who he is, for a change.
 The overall look of the figure is alright, and sadly, just alright. The soft-good pieces feel a bit... frail, as if they'll fray at any moment. He's also a bit shorter than I would've liked, he is as tall as Obi-Wan(SPOILERS!) or Shin Hati... but I'd expect a more imposing figure, since this is Darth Revan after all.
 As an older Black Series figure, he does have double jointed knees. The robes are soft-goods, so you can just lift his skirt upwards to get him to kick or jump. That said... his hood is a large, rubbery piece, so he has no neck articulation, although you can try to slightly move his head to the sides, and the hood covers his shoulders, so he can't raise his arms all the way to the top.
 And this is as far as he can bend his single-jointed elbows, which is kinda pathetic. He is a bit shorter than Bucky Cap.
 Darth Revan is an OK figure. I liked his detailed armor and intricate robes, I really do, but... he could've been taller, and the articulation could've been better.
