Action Figure #547: Star Wars The Black Series Fifth Brother

 And now comes the least threatening Inquisitor.

 Oh boy, I had issues with the Grand Inquisitor, but I've got even more issues with the Fifth Brother. Or rather, it's the same issues but worse.

 Remember how much I complained about Black Series' not using the best version of the Grand Inquisitor? Well, they picked the lamest version of the Fifth Brother. In Star Wars Rebels, this guy looks tough, powerful and, above all, scary. His live action incarnation in Kenobi is one of the least intimidating creatures to ever feature in Star Wars. Jar Jar is more threatening than the Kenobi's Fifth Brother. And sure, there's a lot of unique sculpt work in this figure, but, this face sculpt looks so lame. And no offence to the actor, the team at LucasFilms could've easily added make-up on his face to make him look as tough as his Rebels counterpart. Instead, they painted his face white... and his helmet doesn't translate well on a realistic medium.

 Articulation is the same as it was with the Grand Inquisitor, everything I wrote there still stands for the Fifth Brother.

 ... and he also comes with his own issues with his lightsaber. Once again, the plastic on his hands is rather hard, heck, my figure already has stress marks on his fingers due to me having to pull so hard on his hands to get him to open it.... because his hilt has this ENORMOUS peg that makes it even harder for him than it was for the GI to get a good grip on his blade.

 Oh, and what's up with his oversized feet? He just looks silly now. He is a bit shorter than Bucky Cap.

 Yeah... I'm just not all that fond of this version of the character, which in turn, makes the action figure just look silly. He is the Inquisitor everyone bullied and make fun off I figure.
