"You probably thought it would be more exciting to save someone's life. Anyway. Thanks, Jedi."
As Skeleton Crew debuted on Disney+ in December 2024, Hasbro put a full wave of Skeleton Crew figures into immediate stock. The six-figure wave consisted of Jude Law’s mysterious character Jod Na Nawood, Captain Brutus, and the four main characters including KB.
Like all her fellow At Attin adventurers, KB’s packaging uses the subtitle of ‘At Attin’ which does indicate other versions of KB might follow. While KB is seen in both the jumpsuit used on the figure, and in a school uniform the jumpsuit would be the main costume used throughout the season and not specific to At Attin itself.. The Skeleton Crew Galaxy Collection has been given a rich Yellow accent colour which is used on the character name and the side artwork. KB is number 5 in the Skeleton Crew collection with her artwork slotting in between Fern and Captain Brutus in the Galaxy Collection montage. The rear of the box carries a repeat of this artwork and a short synopsis of the series rather than the character - avoiding any specific spoilers. The backing cards of each of the newer boxes are also now aligned to the same accent colour scheme and feature a background. For KB, this artwork shows us a similar plain section of planetscape as seen on Fern’s box with nothing specific to the At Attin and a scene that looks more like the Observatory Moon.
KB is wearing her grey jumpsuit as seen through the majority of her adventures aboard the Onyx Cinder. The suit is cast as a base grey with the only decor a pair of yellow, red and blue patches on either shoulder. Costume variation is created in the boots which are a variant shade of grey, in a beige neck piece, and through an added black belt loaded with some gunmetal devices and a rear brown leather pouch. KB’s hands are cast in yellow to represent the gloves she wears. Scale wise her height is accurate to the show, standing the same - if not a touch taller - than Fern.
The head sculpt is a good likeness to actor Kyriana Kratter complete with her cybernetic implants, although these are all fixed in place with Hasbro not keen or able to make the visor rotate up and away from KB’s eyes. The visor is grey with black lens and connects round to the side of the head where the implant features a similar grey and black colour scheme. KB’s hair is an added section fixed onto the head above the cybernetics and the shaved hair section. This is cast in very light blonde, almost white with silver/blue highlights.
KB never has a backpack in the show, these are only carried by Wim, Neel and Fern. However, Hasbro has taken some licence or used earlier concept details to provide KB with a matching removable backpack in yellow to complement her outfit. This includes some blue and brown coloured trim and a socket for her torch. The straps are soft plastic and allow the pack to be worn by KB with a snug fit.
The torch is KB’s only other accessory. This one is red with silver end caps and lens, and a trio of yellow buttons and a larger silver switch down the main body. As mentioned, it can be stowed in a slot in the backpack or held in either of KB’s hands.
KB has 17 points of pinless articulation, the same as Wim and Fern and using the slightly older leg format with thigh swivel and with no butterfly shoulders. The figure has enough movement for basic posing and is stable once stood. The arms do not bend sufficiently at the elbow to pose KB - as seen in the series - with her hand adjusting her visor, and this is disappointing.
Like Fern, KB is sold a little short on accessories but unlike Fern doesn’t have the complex decor to offset the lack of contents. With no engineered articulation in the visor and with a lack of elbow movement KB is restricted to neutral stances or vanilla posing with her torch in hand. The beauty of the Skeleton Crew kids is in their combined display as a crew and KB finalises the group nicely for a wider display.

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...
