Hot Toys MMS 446 - The Last Jedi Rey (Jedi Training)

[blinguskahn]

Haven’t bought or POed much SW since the whole First Order Stormtrooper debacle but saw good reviews on her, liked her look and found a great deal. Also decided to grab the “backpack” and “cloaked binary beacon” off TA to give her a bit more relevance to her time on Ahch-To. If you look closely, you can see a Porg (I want a sandwich) standing on the lightsaber hilt that’s partially in her bag. By the way, I’m so glad they went with sculpted hair, yeah I know that’s usual fare for her TFA figures but I was worried they might switch to rooted with this release.

A couple more. Yeah nothing exciting but still a cool figure for a great price!

Trying a new pose. Not sure if it works or not, but seemed kinda cool at the time.






And my two Reys together.

How are you keeping that piece of cloth posed like that, as if it was wired?

I like where you're going, Dave but there's a fine tweak that needs to happen I think.

I'd settle either on posing her upright with no lean and retaining the arm and leg stance or bring some forward lean through the torso wish her head looking up, and maybe accentuate the bend in the knees a bit.

 

[davejames]

Thanks, might have to give that a shot. I've tried lots of small variations already but it's kind of a tricky pose to figure out.

And yeah there's just a thin wire taped to the other side of the cloth.

 

[WesMordine]

Clever.

Were did she get those boots?
Lol.

Though the figure is great, I am not into this TLJ costume (It's not about Hot Toys, but the movies). And seeing TFA and TLJ Rey side by side strenghtens my feeling.

Agreed with making these small but often dramatic changes to the overall pose. I'm absolutely loving where you are going with this pose WesMordine and she looks like she's 95% there with the final 5% very much achievable with DioramaMaker's suggestions. FANTASTIC!

I'd actually copy your pose if I wasn't so "stuck" on keeping with the scene I had created in my mind.

Maybe Lando's leftovers from one of his one night stands on the Falcon?

Good thinking.
I never thought about them being on a shelf in Lando’s cape closet!

Great pose! I love how Jakku Rey is posed too!

After watching Solo, I cringe to think of what else could be in that closet! Just never bring a blacklight in there!

Do post updates when you mess with it! Rey is on my repose list right now and I always appreciate your display work for some inspiration from time to time.

All my planned poses seem to be hampered by a lack of a force hand, or some form of expressive open hand. It's a right shame she didn't come with one.

 

[blinguskahn]

Yeah getting a dynamic pose to look “natural” can be extremely difficult and it takes time, patience and the ability to walk away for awhile and come back. Even my stupid Rey-Porg-Staff pose, which is much less dynamic then the reverse lightsaber pose is still a WIP. I’m always running wire through stock HT’s capes and never would have thought to do the same with this figure if not for that pose, so Thank you! Like I said, still a work in progress (I want a sandwich):

So true. How they overlooked that is beyond me.

Oh I so very much loved this pose but I couldn't maintain it. The roundness of the soles isn't conducive to balancing the motion pose; she eventually fell. I fastened a small angle for the back foot to try to stabilize it but it wasn't the solution. I will revisit it in the future. I really wish the boots were two part sculpted, as beautiful as they are constructed here.

 

[davejames]

Yeah that's a nice pose. It's a shame the stands get in the way when you try to do a walking pose or have one leg behind the other like that.

 

[generalszabo]

That's a great pose hot toys should use clear waist grabbers IMO
