There are a lot of differing opinions on Kylo Ren's quality as a Star Wars villain, at least among my friends. I personally like him. I'm a big fan of villains who have actual emotions and humanity, not just an empty darkness. Darth Vader was a great villain, but he didn't become a great villain until he was revealed to be the father of Luke Skywalker. It humanized him and gave him motives other than pure galactic domination. Kylo Ren has emotional outbursts and struggles with his place within a family that has all kinds of struggles. I appreciate it, and hope that his character continues to develop.
I like this figure. I'm not usually a fan of action figures using actual cloth to create cloaks, capes, and hoods, because there isn't enough weight in that scale to create the proper look. The hood on this figure does suffer, but other than that, the fabric works well. Kylo looks menacing, and that's all it really needs to do.
