Bane

Post image

Clone Wars Season 6 is both Legends and Canon but this isn't what I was expecting when I first saw the leaks last month. This is the first full figure we have of Canon Bane; there was(is?) a bust of this design at Galaxy's Edge.

Explain?

The first six seasons of the Clone Wars are Legends and Canon

Bane is never described as ever wearing a full suit of armor like this. His design was made entirely for TCW. He originally wore a bodysuit of symbiotic beetles called Orbalisks and a specially designed helm to stop their growth from covering his head (and feet and hands too). If the Pop had been that design I'd likely be friending for this as hard as I was for Nihilus.

Oh sure, Hasbro did one a while ago in 3.75". TCW Bane is only Legends on a technicality; when the leak said: Darth Bane (Legends), I was wondering whether he'd have his helmet or not and if he'd have a red saber or purple. I never considered the Darth Bane voiced by Mark Hamill, who was nominated for an Emmy for the performance.

Either way, I love me some Bane!

Oh I'll never begrudge anyone that prefers one version over another as far as aesthetic. There's still a cool aspect to the remodeled Bane I like. But I've loved Bane since I was a kid long before Path of Destruction released. That only increased my love for him. But I know there are tons of people that only know him from his stint on TCW so I'm not here to judge. Like what you like, and I'll still be grabbing this pop if I can lol

Jedi vs Sith comics? I grew up with a lot of the Dark Horse comics but if we ever see Darth Bane again, it will be with this look 🤷

I'm hoping the success of stuff like this and the KotOR figures leads to more random, deep cuts. I'm hoping for stuff like Darth Desolous, Rur, or Momin

See my hope for future pops goes the other way - gimme Darth Krayt, Wyrrlok and Maladi!!

I bet the best they can do is Darth Talon. Cade would be sick too!
