Cassian Andor - TBS [P4] - Six Inch Figures (A08)

In an era filled with danger, deception and intrigue, Cassian Andor embarks on a path that will turn him into the rebel hero who will challenge the evil Galactic Empire.

Interestingly, Hasbro released The Vintage Collection Cassian Andor (VC261) before The Black Series 6-inch release. The figure turned out well and brought everything you’d expect to the table. This semi-colorful outfit that Cassian Andor dons in this series is one of the brightest in the entire series, and that’s not saying much in this very drab and earth-tone-rich storyline in the Star Wars universe. The all-new figure of Cassian Andor is about as good as any other figure in The Black Series 6-inch line. You’re going to get what you’re anticipating or expecting here. The figure is well made and comes with an incredible amount of high-quality articulation and detail and a fair number of accessories to help you with your posing needs. The details are rich throughout, and the paint operations look excellent here. The parka shell is removable and counted as a separate piece here, but truthfully, the figure looks awful without it being worn or in place. You get a blaster pistol, which fits perfectly in the figure’s right hand. The Photo Real deco in the face is beautiful, and the separate “hairpiece” perfectly captures the attitude and spirit of the character from the series. Cassian Andor comes in “woke” and “environmentally friendly” plastic-free packaging. It’s as laughable as it is pious and useless. And the figure and its accessory come wrapped in toilet paper for reasons unknown. Most of the box is hollow, which shows what a waste of space these boxes are for these figures. Perhaps Hasbro could reduce its “carbon footprint” by making the boxes smaller. Who knows? This failed experiment is over; new figures will come in the standard packaging.
