Action Figure #661: Star Wars The Black Series Director Orson Krennic

 If it was up to him, it would've been called the Krennic Star.

 I couldn't just finish a Rogue One display with the heroes alone, I needed the bad guy, I needed Director Orson Krennic. And now, I can truly say that I'm done collecting Rogue One!
 Well, on the outset, this is yet another Empire General. And while all of them look the same, I've noticed that each one has different folds on their baggy pants! But two things make this one stand aside from the rest: His cape and his gloves. Sadly, the cape is garbage. It's made out of soft plastic, which hampers movement, and.... it just lies over his shoulder, so it's easy for it to come off if you play with him. But then again, just moving his arms makes it fall off. It's a bit of a shame, really, because Black Series loves soft-goods, and this guy NEEDED as soft-goods cape. At least the headsculpt is accurate to the actor, and he comes with a blaster pistol.
 So, let's assume that you take his cape off, what can you expect from him? Double jointed knees and thigh swivels, with a ball jointed waist. His elbows are single jointed, and while they don't have the deepest of cuts... they at least reach a 90 degree bend. He is a head shorter than Bucky Cap.
 Take away the cape and he is a decent action figure... but taking away the cape means removing want makes Krennic Krennic. Just fixing the cape to his shoulders would've fixed the issue. As it stands, it's a boring action figure.
