Hot Toys Director Krennic is here to build a Death Star and look damn good at the same time

Why is it, that villains always have an incredible fashion sense to go along with their nefarious schemes? I mean sure, Emperor Palpatine’s galactic army of freedom-oppressing thugs may have been a bunch of bastards, but they were a bunch of well-dressed tyrants with some snappy uniforms when you think about it.

The best of the lot? Rogue One’s Orson Krennic, as the visionary behind the Empire’s Death Star project had more than enough cunning and savvy style to recognise the importance of capes. That gorgeous swish of material, that luxurious flow of textures that allowed him to revel in the fact that he was better than everyone around him. I don’t care what Edna from the Incredibles said, capes are awesome.

Capes are also brilliant at any size scale, something which you can see for yourself in the latest Hot Toys figure, which shrinks Krennic down to sixth scale size and still looks incredibly dapper. Here’s what the figure looks like, plus details on what you get in the box if you feel like expanding your Star Wars collection:

“We stand here amidst my achievement. Not yours!”

As director of Advanced Weapons Research for the Imperial military, Orson Krennic is obsessed with the completion of the long-delayed Death Star project. A cruel but brilliant man, Krennic has staked his reputation on the delivery of the functional battle station to the Emperor.

Longed for by many diehard Star Wars fans, Hot Toys is very excited to officially present today the 1/6th scale collectible figure of Director Orson Krennic from Rogue One: A Star Wars Story!
