THE STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS VILLAIN MAKES HIS DISNEY INFINITY LIGHT FX DEBUT IN STYLE.

What’s better than Star Wars toys that come to life in a video game? Star Wars toys that come to life in a video game and have actual light-up lightsabers, of course. For both, we owe a big thanks to Disney Infinity.

So far, the critically-acclaimed toys-to-life game has brought us Light FX versions, as they’re called, of Yoda, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Kanan Jarrus, Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker, and Anakin Skywalker; just place the figures on the Disney Infinity base, fire up Disney Infinity 3.0 Edition, and the toys’ Jedi weapons ignite. It’s a feature that encapsulates the game’s unique ability to appeal to the kid in everyone, and finally, a new entrant in the Light FX series is coming: Star Wars: The Force Awakens cross-saber-wielding baddie Kylo Ren.

Available for pre-order now, the figure — in a menacing, ready-for-battle pose, designed in Disney Infinity‘s beautiful, energetic style — was unveiled in a rather unorthodox, yet very cool, way. Instagram action-figure photographer Johnny Wu, a.k.a. @sgtbananas, was given early access to Kylo. Wu, a native of Pacifica, California, built an outdoor diorama recreating the snowy forests of Starkiller Base, shot with his Canon 5D Mark III, and the result is rather stunning: a clear yet haunting image capturing the power of Ren, with the unaltered red lighting effect from his weapon conveying real anger against the white snow. StarWars.com spoke with Wu about the making of the photo and more.
