1/6 Hot Toys Rogue One: JYN ERSO

[Wor-Gar]

It's weird to look at that shot now, understanding the characters now... it seemed so un-Star Wars at one time.

 

[TonTon]

It still seems even un-Rogue One to me. Way too drab and dark. But a good set up for the movie which was darker and better to set up expectations than if that same ragtag group shot had Scarif backdrop with palm trees. Star Wars goes on vacation.

So true. All I thought was "who the hell are those peasants? Where is Kyle Katarn?".

Guess we all missed the walls of the Massassi temple in the background.

Yeah, this would be an epic diorama. If they did do Bodhi and gave him some tech (like in this picture) I might be tempted to recreate this shot.

Even one of the no-name rebels would be cool to have. Those hats and goggles look pretty cool.

If there's enough articulation with the clothing on those seated, I would like to display my Rogue One setup exactly like this. Here's hoping they make Cassian & Bohdi.

[emoji38] It's not a crime to have bad taste khev; take Futurion for example, he likes suicide squad. I kid

I like SS, I must, because i refuse to fall into a pit of bitter disappointment and hate. Just to be clear sorry for ot

I'm still holding out hope that the Cassian and Krennic Cosbabies mean we'll see them in 1/6 scale. And I actually think that Imperial Jyn is more iconic than ST Han. Mostly because her disguise was so synonymous with the marketing and hype leading up to the movie while Han's ST disguise was more integrated in the on screen group activities. Plus Han has at the minimum four other outfits *more* iconic than ST disguise.

That's an interesting point about Imperial Jyn's importance because of trailer/promo use (and despite all of 30 seconds screen time in film.) and it would be an easy figure to do, the headsculpt is already there, no changes, just an outfit swap.
But I would still prefer to see Stormie Han happen, he's not in that costume for long, but the scenes wearing it are some of the best scenes of the original trilogy in terms of establishing his character.

I really like this figure and think I've just about convinced myself to drop for the exclusive (the price difference is minimal)
As her display partner? K-2SO is really the only choice right now but if the option existed I would jump at a Saw Gerrera. I know he gets next to zero screen time but hypothetically his backstory importance to Jyn makes him the perfect choice....and a Rebel Vader, part man, part machine, all anger. Perfect counterpoint to an actual Vader.

Where is Saw?

He has about 10 memorable lines in that outfit, basically everything he says while in that outfit is a gem. Don't think Jyn has any.

"Where did you dig up that old fossil?"
"Uh, we had a slight weapons malfunction, but uh... everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here now, thank you. How are you?"
"Boring conversation anyway. LUKE, WE'RE GONNA HAVE COMPANY!"
"What an incredible smell you've discovered!"

Its hard to talk when you're climbing a 300ft ladder.

Not sure what your point is. She's not wearing that outfit in that scene anyhow.

 

[WesMordine]

Jyn? She was wearing the poncho when she climbed up to the platform to try to save her father. Long way up. No dialogue. XD

We're talking about her in imperial disguise, whether it's more iconic than Han in Stormtrooper disguise, etc.

 

[WesMordine]

Oh. My bad. I was thinking of Jyn's poncho.

The imperial disguise helmet does highlight her green eyes.

I was thinking to myself for a second, That ladder in the databank wasn't that tall was it?

Too many ladders to keep track of in RO.

Yeah I decided to go ahead and order the Deluxe version. It's not my favorite look of hers in the movie, but it would make for a nice alternate look on the shelf now and then (and plus she does look pretty damn cute with that helmet on).

Yeah, that first teaser had my speculations running wild with her possibly commandeering a TIE Fighter, transmitting the plans ship to ship right before she gets disintegrated, etc. But if you only watched the first teaser once or not at all and just go by the films then yes Han in ST outfit blows away Jyn in Imperial disguise.

Yeah she looked so damn cute nodding to Cassian to give the order to light everything up with those giant expressive eyes.

I also liked how her Eadu helmet appeared a little big for her as if in her hurry to find her father she just grabbed some random soldier's helmet that was hanging on the rack.

 

[Prime Clone]

Now that the RO hype has blown over I'm starting to think I can live without any of the figures, even of Jyn and Chirrut. Saving my pennies for the "core characters".

 

[WesMordine]

I can live without Jyn. But Felicity Jones is another story.

I'll just stick with Jyn for a R1 figure.
