Fern Review
General Overview:
The Star Wars: Skeleton Crew line-up expands with Fern, a character shrouded in mystery but packed with style. With a layered outfit, a backpack, and a flashlight, Fern looks like they’re ready for an adventure. This figure’s aesthetic leans into the survivalist look, making it stand out among other Black Series figures.
Accessories & Functionality:
Fern comes with a sturdy backpack, a small flashlight, and a coat, all of which add to the figure’s layered look. The backpack sits well but may cause some balance issues. The flashlight is a neat addition, but it’s tiny—watch out, or it’ll be lost in hyperspace.
Articulation & Poseability:
The standard Black Series articulation is here, but the coat does restrict some movement. Dynamic action poses are limited, but standing poses look fantastic.
Head Sculpt & Paint Application:
Hasbro nailed the details on the outfit, with crisp paint applications and subtle weathering. The head sculpt, while not based on a real actor, captures an expressive, adventurous look.
Final Thoughts:
Fern is a solid addition to the Skeleton Crew Black Series line-up. While it’s not the most dynamic figure, the unique design, well-executed sculpt, and survivalist aesthetic make it a worthy display piece.
