Darth Revan Gets a New Sideshow Figure, and the Unmasked Portrait Has Fans Talking

Darth Revan is back on the collector circuit, which is always a dangerous thing for wallets, shelves, and anyone still pretending they are “done buying Star Wars stuff.”

Sideshow has revealed new Darth Revan collectibles, including a Darth Revan Statue and a larger Darth Revan Premium Format Figure. Both pieces lean heavily into the Sith Lord’s iconic Knights of the Old Republic look: dark robes, armor, red and purple lightsabers, and the kind of dramatic pose that says, “yes, I have made several morally complicated life choices.”

But the detail that will probably get the most attention is the unmasked portrait included with the exclusive version of the Premium Format Figure.

Because yes, fans are already going to have thoughts.

The Unmasked Revan Portrait Is the Hook

The Darth Revan Premium Format Figure stands 23 inches tall, with Revan posed over the wreckage of a fallen Mandalorian Crusader ship. Sideshow describes the piece as showing a decisive and destructive victory for the Sith Empire, with Revan holding both his red and purple lightsabers.

The standard version includes the familiar masked portrait, which is the classic Revan image most players immediately recognize.

The exclusive edition adds something more interesting: an alternate unmasked portrait, described by Sideshow as Revan’s “subtly scarred visage.”

That is the part that makes this more than just another expensive collectible reveal.

Revan’s face is always going to be loaded.

No, This Is Not a Keanu Reeves Casting Tease

Let’s get the obvious part out of the way.

No, this does not mean Keanu Reeves is playing Revan.

It does not mean Lucasfilm is teasing a movie.

It does not mean the KOTOR remake has secretly cast him.

It is a statue. Please breathe.

That said, the unmasked portrait does land right in the middle of one of the longest-running Star Wars fan-casting dreams. Keanu Reeves has been linked by fans to Darth Revan for years, mostly because the character’s brooding mystique, martial presence, and morally conflicted legend fit the Reeves fantasy extremely well.

So when a new unmasked Revan collectible appears and the face looks even slightly familiar, the internet is going to do what the internet does.

It will point.

It will squint.

It will say “wait a minute.”

The Timing Is Almost Too Perfect

This reveal also lands at a very convenient moment for Revan hype.

The KOTOR remake has been back in the news after a New Saber executive reportedly placed it “hopefully” in the company’s 2028 release line-up. We covered that cautiously, because the KOTOR remake’s possible 2028 window is still very much not an official release date.

Still, after years of uncertainty, even a vague “hopefully” is enough to wake up the Revan conversation again.

And Revan is not just any Star Wars game character. The original Knights of the Old Republic remains one of the biggest landmarks in Star Wars gaming history, which is why our main KOTOR 2003 hub still sits at the center of our Old Republic coverage.

We also recently looked back at how KOTOR’s Xbox launch changed Star Wars RPG history, because that game did not just succeed. It proved Star Wars could work as a proper choice-driven RPG, far away from the film timeline.

Revan Is Still a Collector’s Dream

The reason Revan keeps working as a collectible is simple: the design is ridiculously strong.

Mask. Hood. Armor. Dual lightsabers. Jedi and Sith symbolism smashed together. A character built around identity, memory, fall, redemption, and player choice.

That is action-figure poison in the best possible way.

The new Sideshow pieces understand that. They are not just selling “a person from a game.” They are selling the myth of Revan: the masked legend, the battlefield commander, the fallen Jedi, the Sith Lord, the RPG icon whose whole identity became one of the most famous twists in Star Wars gaming.

That is why Revan remains such a strange case. He is technically rooted in a 2003 game, but his pull has outlasted generations of consoles, canon debates, and years of remake uncertainty.

Our complete list of every Star Wars game ever made is full of characters who came and went.

Revan did not.

A Statue, a Face, and a Lot of Old Republic Energy

So no, Sideshow’s unmasked Revan portrait is not proof of anything beyond a new premium collectible.

But it is still interesting.

It arrives during renewed KOTOR remake chatter. It gives collectors two ways to display one of Star Wars gaming’s most iconic characters. And it accidentally, or maybe inevitably, taps into the Keanu Reeves fan-casting dream that refuses to die.

That is very Revan.

Even as a statue, the man cannot stop causing identity problems.
