KR|"Echoes of Future" Review #32: KR|EoF Variants 3pk (NYTF 2026 Exclusive)

Get ready for New York Toy Fair 2026 (February 14-17) with a show-only reveal I’ve been looking forward to sharing! Debuting exclusively at NYTF, this limited multi-pack (officially the sixth in the series) brings Sajron^TM, Rhadiel^TM and Nemhetra^TM into the spotlight in their Echoes of Future plainclothes looks.

Each figure features standard articulation, and comes with three matching heads (two unhelmeted with distinct hairstyles and/or ornaments, plus one helmeted) and a silver halberd to complete the look. No extra accessories for Desion and Herrion this time, since their KR|EoF appearances remain largely unchanged from KR|Horizon.

Created specifically for the show and available nowhere else, this is one NYTF exclusive you won’t want to miss!

Sajron

Description

Head: olive brown skin, a bold punk dark-brown mohawk (it's actually a ponyhawk, a kind of hairstyle where both sides are buzzed short, with a long strip of hair along the crest of the head styled upright and tied using a yellow band into a single tail that hangs down the back). He definitely resembles both of his parents, and has his characteristic heterochromia with a green left eye and a blue right eye

Body: olive brown skin, exposed arms. His hands wear a pair of black leather fingerless gloves

Wearables: a short, open mustard-yellow vest with silver edges and armholes (the two sides of the front vertical opening are loosely joined by an off-white leather drawstring crisscrossed at the centre), two tech-looking silver wrist guards, two black leather boots with turndown tops and tech-looking silver trim along the shafts, a belt with a silver buckle resembling the Theriom symbol (i.e., a seven-pointed star with the two bottom points elongated), and a pair of mustard-yellow trousers with silver side bands. The vest is worn over a short-sleeved frog-button black shirt (whose stand-up mandarin collar is open enough to reveal part of the big gold necklace –given to him by his father– underneath) accompanied by a shoulder belt fastened with an off-white (i.e., a white colour with a grey tinge that looks like tarnished silver) buckle. Both the shoulder and the waist belts are made of thick silver chain mail punctuated by braided black leather. He wears an additional, separate loose-fitting belt that straps down to a right-leg band with an attached sheath for a combat knife, plus a second holster for a collapsible flail mounted at waist height on the left side; he also wears a left-arm armband fitted with a third sheath housing a push dagger. All of these additional bands are made of black leather trimmed with silver edging, rivets and buckles, and all the weapons are non-removable and finished in a golden-yellow paint.

Weapons and accessories

Sajron comes with a silver halberd, which is one of the four components of the Key (the one whose blade has four tips) and the same weapon once wielded by his grandfather Tir-Hing and later by his father Desion. The first alternate portrait shows his long hair pulled back into a ponytail, leaving only tousled bangs framing the forehead; in a fun touch, this ponytail is also articulated, allowing for some dynamic action poses. The second alternate portrait features the silver magic helmet he inherits from his father, shown in its inactive form.

Rhadiel

Description

Head: light brown skin, long black hair drawn back into a chignon and secured with elaborate gold barrettes, and green eyes. It's very similar to her Horizon portrait, though she appears slightly older

Body: light brown skin, two golden armbands decorated with red gemstones worn high on the exposed upper arms, just below the shoulders

Wearables: an elegant, long sleeveless red dress fastened at the front with two frog buttons (one at the chest and one at the abdomen) and adorned with extensive gold trim (including, but not limited to, a brooch at the neck, swirling accents across the bust, and a wavy, diagonal series of studs on the midriff), two golden bracelets, two knee-high golden boots with upward-pointed tops and triple-studded knee guards, and a belt made of interlaced golden discs. The belt separates the fitted bodice from the long, bell-shaped skirt incorporating numerous layers of fabric. The dress is made of a soft plastic, so it doesn't block her articulation from the waist down.

Weapons and accessories

Rhadiel comes with a silver halberd, which is one of the four components of the Key (the one with the S-shaped blade) and the same weapon once wielded by her adoptive father Lor-Drek. The first alternate portrait still shows her hair drawn back into a chignon, now paired with an elaborate golden headband set with red gemstones; this headpiece is strikingly ornate, with an almost architectural quality, including what looks like Theriom City's intricate pyramidal roof (complete with a dense array of finely carved ridges) on the top. The second alternate portrait features her silver magic helmet shown in its inactive form.

Nemhetra

Description

Head: fair light-grey skin, long, thick red hair styled in a crown braid, and green eyes. Her makeup is noticeably lighter than in her Horizon version, giving her a softer overall look

Body: fair light-grey skin (personally, I wish the tone had leaned slightly more toward a natural white, as that’s how she appears in the KR|EoF comics), two silver armbands decorated with white gemstones worn high on the exposed upper arms, just below the shoulders

Wearables: aside from the head sculpt, this figure is identical to Rhadiel's sculpt and differs only in the paint applications. Therefore, she wears the exact same outfit, except that the elegant, long sleeveless dress is rendered in white with extensive silver trim, and is paired with silver bracelets, boots and belt.

Weapons and accessories

Also Nemhetra comes with a silver halberd, which is one of the four components of the Key (the one whose sawtooth blade is curved inward) and the same weapon once wielded by her father Ir-Ash/Deptilion. The first alternate portrait shows her long hair worn loose, paired with a pearlescent white headband circling the forehead; its design is accentuated by an upright snake crest rising from a central Theriom emblem, as well as spider-leg, wing-like elements flanking the sides (subtle but unmistakable nods to her darker past). The second alternate portrait features her silver magic helmet shown in its inactive form.

Final thoughts

Overall: this is a release that might not set everyone’s must-buy alarm ringing unless you are a true completist, and that’s totally fair. Still, it makes perfect sense as a toy-convention exclusive: focused, niche and aimed squarely at dedicated fans of the line. We’ll almost certainly see more interesting versions of these characters down the road, but having the chance to add these ordinary-outfit looks to the collection feels like a nice bonus, and honestly, I don’t mind that at all

KR|"Echoes of Future" Review #31: Liorak

Toy prototype details

Name: Liorak^TM

Item type: action figure - Nº 25 in the line.

Character details

Name: Liorak

Real name: Sajron

Classification: human with one-quarter primivod genetic material

Sex: male

Home: Tahron

Era: 25 years after Foundation

Background

First appearance: KR|Echoes of Future #2 - The dark powers of dominion

Character summary: a mysterious, heavily armoured warrior wielding a horn-mounted blaster capable of firing powerful energy beams, whose courage during a critical battle turned the tide by confronting Gladorr head-on. Initially believed to have sacrificed his life after being violently struck by the blast that seemingly annihilated Gladorr, Liorak was later revealed to be Sajron, Desion’s and Sei-Lha's son from the future. Driven by duty and a determination to change destiny, and protected by an exosuit forged from the fusion of his mother’s old armour and the Antikythron’s technology, Sajron travelled to the past to alter the outcome of that fateful battle. Proposing uneasy truces, luring enemies into traps and accepting great personal risk to ensure Gladorr’s final defeat, he ultimately survived and returned to a restored timeline where Tahron was saved.

Articulation
Standard (new scheme).

Description

Head: protected by a full-face silver helmet accented with golden-yellow details and a black glass visor. Like Combat Sei-Lha’s helmet, the design blends hints of Boba Fett, Iron Man and G.I. Joe’s Cobra Commander, but somehow it all comes together. Atop the helmet sits a silver protrusion that fictionally houses the Antikythron's working components, which is shaped like a thick horn with a four-pointed ridged star-shaped, glowing yellow emitter at the front; the star points are uneven: the two side points are the shortest, the bottom point is the longest and the top point falls in between, resembling, in my opinion, Ultraman Edo’s mask in his Zetton suit. The helmet also features a removable faceplate whose interior reveals an impressive amount of sculpted detail, giving it a convincingly high-tech feel. Beneath the helmet, Sajron’s face is only partially exposed, since only his eyes, one green (left) and one blue (right) surrounded by olive brown skin, are visible, while the rest is concealed by a golden-yellow mouth-and-nose guard with breather slits and studs, crossed by a silver bar that runs between the eyes and connects to the forehead section
Body: encased from neck to toe in a silver armoured suit adorned with golden-yellow accents. The armour displays an impressive amount of intricate decorative features across its many components, with very few areas left untouched by sculpted tech-mech embellishments, such as cables and tubing, bolts and pistons, gauges and switches. Despite this dense level of detailing, the overall design looks cohesive and does not feel overly busy

Wearables: the non-removable chest armour vaguely recalls the design seen on Combat Sei-Lha, with golden-yellow accents jutting sharply from the silver chest plate, while the armholes are styled to resemble ammo belts. He also wears silver gauntlets (with removable golden-yellow wrist guards, more on this later) and silver boots equipped with fin-shaped control surfaces and repulsors meant for long leaps; a silver belt, also evoking the look of an ammo belt, wraps the waist, paired with a golden-yellow crotch piece. Altogether, the armour is packed with crisp, well-executed cyber detailing throughout.

Action feature

In the comics, the front part of Liorak's “horn” functions as an emitter capable of firing concentrated bursts of energy and, alternatively, producing a force field for levitating and moving objects. So, after removing the standard-looking emitter described above, an included snap-on piece, featuring an energy blast effect moulded in translucent orange plastic, enables recreating the character’s ability to unleash powerful energy beams.

Weapons and accessories

Liorak's suit of armour incorporates six pairs of extendable weapons, a feature that, in my opinion, strongly evokes the Libra Cloth and its weapons from Knights of the Zodiac. Under Liorak's command, any one (or two) of twelve tech-mech components can be ejected from the suit, and each is capable of producing its own weapon through laser-like energy extensions. This process seems to be linked to the Antikythron mechanism housed within the helmet's cyber-horn, suggesting that the colours and shapes of the weapons are inspired by the six SpawnCrystals. So, apart from the above-mentioned energy beam, the figure includes six pairs of detachable golden-yellow pieces mounted at various points on the armour, along with additional or alternate parts representing the deployed weapon forms. Specifically:

• Boot-mounted swords - two hilts attached to the sides of the boots can be extended with broad, translucent yellow blades, each terminating in a pointed tip
• Tonfas - two sticks, each with a short perpendicular grip positioned about one-third down its length, are attached to the sides of the thighs; these can be upgraded with translucent magenta front heads featuring an ovoid design
• Three-section flails - two folded triple handles mounted on the belt can be removed and replaced with flexible weapons, each consisting of three sticks linked by translucent green, bendable cords and capped with translucent green cube-shaped ends
• Shields - two pieces on the sides of the arm bracers can detach, allowing two round shields with translucent dark-blue discs to be attached before the pieces are resecured; the result gives the impression that each wrist guard has unfolded into a fan-like laser shield, expanding its diameter with an additional outer ring (these shields are also designed to be launched as projectiles)
• Nunchucks - two folded dual handles attached to the upper arms can be swapped out for two nunchucks, each composed of two sticks ending in pointed translucent cyan tips and joined by a short translucent cyan, bendable cord
• Back-mounted spears - two long shafts stored on the back can be extended with translucent red bipyramidal spearheads.

Final thoughts

Overall: this is an incredible new take on the Combat suit of armour, and Liorak is a great addition to the KR|EoF line. With impressive sculpting, fantastic weapons and genuinely fun features, this action figure stands out as an epic toy. While it risked coming across as a more masculine variant of Combat Sei-Lha, it instead shows everything the line is capable of. In fact, it feels like a true evolution of the Sei-Lha figures, offering, with a version in his “normal” look also on the way, a bold and refined alternative take on Sajron’s design
