“How could you let the Galaxy fall to this unworthy machine of an Empire? You think yourself a survivor, but you are a failure!”
Dagan Gera from the Jedi: Survivor video game from EA was released as a Star Wars Black Series figure in late 2024, part of Wave 20 of the Galaxy Collection. As with all video game figures, Dagan was badged as a Gaming Greats release using their established Cyan colouring for the text and artwork against the black box. Dagan Gera is the first single release from the Gaming Greats line to be released in the newer format Galaxy Collection boxes.
He is number 27 in the line, with his artwork connecting directly to Starkiller from 2023. The rear of the box carries a brief background for Dagan Gera and his role within the game. The backing card, now also colour coordinated, features a background image of the Forest Array facility on Koboh where he was ‘imprisoned’ in his bacta tank.
Dagan Gera is a brand new figure, hence his mainline release rather than an exclusive retailer or Fan Channel release. He is wearing his High Republic Jedi robes cast in beige and overlaid with an olive green tabard trimmed in gold and inlaid with the crest of the High Republic. Connected to this and flowing down over the figure's back is a similar coloured cape with gold trim. The tabard and robes are fastened in the middle by a dark brown belt with grey and silver painted details. Dagan is also wearing a coordinated coloured glove with gold trim on his left arm - his right, as per the game, is missing with the arm socket covered by a plastic flattened sleeve folded away and up under the tabard. The outfit concludes with a pair of simple boots.
The head sculpt is a good likeness to the game and actor Cody Fern, with the Arkanian pale eggshell blue skin, pink lips, and red-ringed eyes. The hair piece is a slightly variant grey/blue and is an individual piece fixed onto the head and flows down over the back of the neck. It features a single sculpted gold-painted hair band creating a ponytail section of the flowing hair.
Gera comes with his lightsaber hilts, each using black, silver, and gold decor on the ornate hilts. These can connect together into a two-bladed saber or they can be used independently as a single-blade weapon.
The blades included are translucent red as seen in the game and they arrive straight but with a slimline connective peg which will be easy to bend or snap if mishandled. Gera has no holstered options, so instead the saber hilt can fit into his single hand for wielding poses.
Dagan Gera has 14 points of articulation, although one of these is a redundant butterfly joint at the right shoulder. The legs are held in check to some degree by the cloak and tabard but have sufficient scope for some wider positions when wielding his saber. The single left arm has a relatively full range of motion, supported by the waist ball joint which allows a degree of ab crunch, helped by the way the tabard has been split at the waist so it moves with the joint. Dagan’s neck is jointed at both base and the head, but the head movement overall works only within the range allowed by the sculpted hair - but again, there is clever engineering of the hood of the cloak which allows the hair a wider breath of movement in the hollow of the hood.
For fans of the Jedi game universe, Dagan is a rare ‘unique’ figure alongside Cal Kestis with the majority of the other figures released over the years being repaints or kitbashes. The missing arm is of course accurate to the game and is replicated in the sculpt by the folded sleeve hiding much of the empty shoulder butterfly socket. This socket is of course left in place due to an exclusive variant of Dagan Gera due Spring 2025 that features the Force Illusion right arm seen in the latter stages of the game. I mention this as some fans may choose to wait for this Amazon 2-Pack to add Dagan Gera to their collection. If you do pick up this single release, the overall look of the figure is well executed with crisp decor and sufficient articulation to give Cal Kestis someone else to fight other than Imperials and Droids.

About Me : As a child of the 70's and 80's I grew up in a golden age for action figures and in my youth bought and sold myself through collections of Star Wars, G.I. Joe (Action Force) and M.A.S.K. while also dabbling in He-Man, Transformers and Ghostbusters. Roll forward and I am now reliving that Youth with the action figures of today and am a collector and fan of the larger 6-8 inch figures from my favourite movie and TV licences - including the ones mentioned above, but also the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Doctor Who and the Aliens. I launched The Mephitsu Archives in 2015 with a view of creating a UK focused site or these figures where fans can pick up the latest action figure news, read reviews and get information on where to buy their figures and what is currently on store shelves. I hope I am delivering that to you guys...
