Background

First appearance: KR|Echoes of Future #3 - The unforeseen fall of destiny

Character summary: a fiercely loyal yet emotionally vulnerable protector of the Key, deeply scarred by a despotic upbringing and the loss of her adoptive father, Lor-Drek. Manipulated through nightmares by Silef’s spirit, Rhadiel was driven into a trance-like fury, transforming into a diabolical force bent on attacking her own brother Desion. Ultimately, her inner strength and lingering love for her family allowed her to break free from possession and reclaim herself.

Articulation
Standard (new scheme).

Description

Head: Fai-Rha wears her signature silver magic helmet, which, under Silef’s evil influence, transforms into a silvery witchdoctor-like mask that grants her wicked physical and mental powers, drastically altering her appearance. The figure comes with a masked head, characterised by the activated metal faceplate with a pair of devilish, glowing red eyes. Fictionally, the mask is formed when the top and rear sections of the helmet flip forward, rotating between the cheek pads, and seal over her face before “deflating” into demonic facial features. The resulting visage is faintly reminiscent of a dragon skull, further defined by the helmet’s original side and top crests reshaped into two pairs of jagged teeth: two side tusks curving upward and two central fangs pointing down. The mask also allows her long, unbound black hair to emerge from the back, gathered into a flowing ponytail tied with a band from which several red and dark-green ribbon-like streamers trail (subtly recalling Thundercats Mumm-Ra in his Ever-Living form)

Body: burgundy scaly skin, exposed portions of the abdomen, upper arms and thighs, clawed hands and feet (the latter are bare). High on her arms, just below the shoulders, she wears mismatched armbands: a golden one decorated with red gemstones on the left, and a dark-green leather one on the right

Wearables: a sports bra-like golden armour with metallic red accents (including a dragon-shaped chest ornament flanked by two skulls embossed near the armpits, as well as long-bone-shaped trim edging its neckline and armholes), heavily adorned with straps, chains and rivets; it is complemented by a shoulder guard formed by laminar metallic red spaulders equipped with serrated, angular golden spikes, joined by a spiky golden collar that widens at the back to allow her ponytail to pass through. Her forearms are protected by silver chain mail fingerless gloves (secured by a single loop around the middle finger and embellished with black scrollwork throughout) with long, pointed sleeves extending above the elbows, finished with spiked golden bracers. The legs feature laminar golden shin guards with studs and spikes, complete with instep protectors, red-jewelled spiked knee guards and bone-like metallic red trim, beneath which silver chain mail socks (matching the gloves) emerge, rising to the thighs in sharp points. At the waist, a belt made from a circle of long-bone-like golden elements displays a crossbones-shaped golden buckle set with a red gemstone against a winged dragon motif, from which hang two golden laminar tassets embossed with demonic, bird-like faces. A long, lamellar red tattered loincloth of alternating horizontal rows of fabric and gold-studded leather lappets flows beneath, while a jagged, dark-green frontal soft goods shawl (shaped like torn dragon wings) descends from the chest ornament and fastens to her arm bracers (but it can be unpegged for better poseability).

Action feature

Possessed Fai-Rha comes with four elongated, backbone-like weapons that attach, one at a time, to either bracelet, recreating the retractable bony spines seen in the comics. Vaguely reminiscent of Astral Wraith Silef’s tail, each spine is sculpted as a series of vertebrae-like segments and tapers to a sharp point. The pair of spines can be displayed in two modes: extended as vicious whip-like weapons (one version features bendable wire for dynamic posing) or contracted into rigid, lance-style weapons (using the included alternate version).

Weapons and accessories

Aside from the bony wrist attachments, Possessed Fai-Rha doesn't come with any traditional weapons, but she more than makes up for it with a generous selection of accessories. The standout is a dragon-like creature cast in translucent chartreuse plastic, vaguely resembling a smaller version of Astral Wraith Silef's quadrupedal form. There's very little paint here (just the solid amber eyes), but the eerie yellow-green translucence is pretty awesome looking on its own. It's actually a nicely sculpted piece, featuring a fairly long neck that curves upward, rounded scales along the sides, a ridge of spines running from head to tail, short claws, and swivel-hinged wings that while bat-looking in general shape, have a butterfly-like quality and are riddled with holes. The head sculpt is pretty cool too, with an opening mouth that has long, sharp teeth lining the jaws, and elongated, pointed ears that end in curved horns. The head is on a ball joint, allowing it to be removed and attached to Fai-Rha's neck if you want, so she's really possessed! Fai-Rha can be equipped with a large plug on the back (a separate clear piece that clips onto her waist), where the creature can attach securely, representing the moment when Silef’s spirit separates from her body.

Apparently, Possessed Fai-Rha went through several concept iterations before her final design was locked in. During development, her facial features were initially modelled after Alterok and she even carried the working name “Alterha” (a name never used in the comics). To reflect these early concepts, the figure includes multiple interchangeable attachments that let you recreate those preliminary looks. The default silver mask is removable, revealing a devilish visage underneath. Her exposed face features scale-textured, burgundy skin, diamond-shaped light-blue eye shadow trailing down her cheeks and framing a pair of black eyes with glowing red-orange slit pupils, and a wide mouth lined with long, sharp whitish teeth reminiscent of Mortal Kombat Mileena. Encircling her forehead is a headband of interlaced golden discs, each set with a red gemstone. This sinister look can be further intensified with two large, silver extensions shaped like axe blades that plug into the sides of her head, hiding the notches that normally secure her mask. The figure also includes several swappable masks. The first is moulded in eye-catching metallic red plastic and features an oni-inspired, ogre-like mouth and nose guard complete with silver upward-curving tusks and exposed teeth. A cutout in the forehead portion seemingly allows her black bangs to spill through, while a balaclava-style opening keeps her eyes visible. Another mask mirrors her unmasked face but reimagined in a ghastly pale green tone with vampire-like traits, such as a large mouth with elongated canine fangs as well as glowing solid white eyes, resulting in a particularly disturbing look. The final mask evokes a hannya-style design, cast in deep midnight blue with razor-sharp yellowed teeth. Her eyes remain visible through the two eyeholes, which are surrounded by sculpted detailing resembling a secondary toothed maw. It's very creepy. This interchangeable mask feature is exceptionally well executed, with each piece fitting securely in place. My personal favourites are the default silver mask and the vampire-inspired variant: both offer a distinctive contrast to the more overtly demoniac aesthetic and give the figure a unique presence.

Finally, the package includes parts to create variants of Foundation Fai-Rha such as Fire-Fists and Tornado, both of which appear in the Foundation comics when she mimics her brother's ability to produce different suits of armour depending on the battle context (Herrion won't get anything similar, as his figure can reuse Masq-Lor’s components). Each outfit is composed of several separate parts: a cuirass, a belt-and-skirt piece (which incorporates her signature long black tail, attached via a ball joint and made of flexible plastic), and a set of forearm accessories. The Fire-Fists option includes a silver cuirass with black accents (featuring a vac-metal silver Theriom symbol on the front), a silver belt with a medieval-style black armoured skirt, and oversized silver gauntlets that replace the original hands (each sculpted in a closed-fist pose). On the back of the cuirass, she carries a backpack with a disc-shaped glow-in-the-dark power unit at its centre and two cords running to the gauntlets; each gauntlet is accompanied by a snap-on translucent orange fire attachment to complete the effect. The Tornado option consists of a golden cuirass with dark-blue details; the chest plate features a vac-metal golden Theriom symbol, while the back piece is highly detailed, with plenty of sculpted tech components and buttons. The set also includes a golden belt with a dark-blue tech-inspired skirt, and a pair of dark-blue snap-on rocket-like tools equipped with golden rotating cutting tips. Each device attaches to her original clip-on wrist guards via a peg, and since the drills can be fictionally fired like missiles, the set comes with two translucent orange propulsion-blast effects that can be connected to the rear of each tool.

Final thoughts

Overall: there’s a lot to love about this figure: the design, the alternate masks and the spine weapons (especially the bendy ones) are all amazing. The added dragon spirit and armour pieces are a fun touch. PoliganToys is clearly prioritising fun over collector-focused precision with these final-year prototypes, but that doesn’t make them any less enjoyable. Possessed Fai-Rha comes with plenty of accessories that make her great for both display and play, and this interpretation of Rhadiel is a fresh, exciting take that I’m glad made it into the line

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
