KX SECURITY DROID � HOLIDAY EDITION
STAR WARS: THE BLACK SERIES (HASBRO)
Okay, so it may not quite be Christmas yet, but you know what? I�m gonna do two Christmas-y reviews this year. Of course, since Christmas Eve falls on a weekend this year, I guess I�ll just observe it today, instead. That seems fair, right?� Yeah, let�s do that!� Last year, I took a brief look into Hasbro�s�Black Series holiday offerings, and that feels like a pretty easy road to go back down.� There�s even more of them this year, including today�s offering, the KX Security Droid!
THE FIGURE ITSELF
The Holiday Edition KX Security Droid is one of the six Holiday Edition Star Wars: The Black Series figures for 2023.� This one in particular is the Walmart-exclusive portion of the line-up.� As with last year�s Protocol Droid, the KX doesn�t get any sort of clever name or anything, which feels like a bit of a bummer, but it�s at least brand-consistent.� The figure stands 7 1/2 inches tall and has 31 points of articulation.� The KX is re-using the K-2SO mold, which makes sense, them being the same model of droid and all.� It helps that it remains a really strong mold, even seven years after its original use.� The only draw back to my personal 
copy is that one of his legs snapped off at the hip joint, which is a real bummer.� The color scheme really mixes things up on this one, going for a predominantly white color scheme, accented with red and green, which is all appropriately festive.� I especially dig the snowflakes swapping in for the Imperial Cog.� The KX is packed with a small blaster pistol, done up in Nerf-style colors, which is fun.� He also gets the requisite smaller companion figure that all of the Holiday Edition figures have gotten.� It�s another BD-1, this time decoed up in white and blue.� Not quite as overtly festive as the one that came with the Protocol Droid, but it�s still pretty nifty.
THE ME HALF OF THE EQUATION
I�m a big fan of this mold, and of the Holiday Edition concept.� That said, given how kitschy they are, I�m not hunting any of them down.� With this guy being a Walmart exclusive, I figured I wouldn�t be getting one any time soon and called it a day, but when one turned up as a trade-in at All Time, I jumped on it.� His broken hip is a real bummer, but he�s otherwise a fun, and I�m still very much a fan of this whole concept.
