Hot Toys - MMS - Star Wars Episode VII: Rey 1/6th Collectible Figure

[MikeyTheKid]

possibly being a bit slow here but does anyone know if the bb-8 will light up at all?

Yes it will have lights.

What's the consensus of using that nice remote BB8 with Rey? Any pics of that with 1/6?

Do you mean the sphero one? I reckon its about the right size (possibly a little bit too big), but i dont think it will look right. the main ball part is smooth and shiny to help it move. Depends how fussy you are on details but if you are someone who pays for hot toys you should be.

 

[Rainpaulo]

The sphero one would be way to big I'd imagine.

 

[TonTon]

I think the Sphero is slightly undersized actually. Haven't seen it next to that new Hasbro one, but I'll be getting the HT one as it should have nice detail/weathering.

 

[Deadlock]

The Sphero BB8 is about 11.5 cm (4.5 inches), so a bit taller than the HT version at 11 cm (assuming that includes the aerial!)

 

[TonTon]

I'm just going by the trusty old eyeball ruler--maybe not the most accurate way. Look really close in size. The sphero is 4 cm without the antenna so if HT is 11 without the antenna it's taller, if it's with the antenna it's shorter.

It looks to be quite a bit under scale to my eyes.

Bummer! At least now I have more time to save up for her.

hmmm

Anybody think the delay maybe to do her an LED lightsaber like the others or do we think that ship has sailed? I'm fine with a plain one but I do like having the occasional lightup pose with my others.

THIS is what i'm hoping for, how likely is this to happen?? Seriously, I love her either way, but I was so sad when I realized her lightsaber wasn't LED.

With every other figure having a light up saber, and Rey being the heroine, I'd bet money she's going to come with a light up saber. Probably the reason for the delay.

I would love that. However I wish HT will develop another way to ignite the saber. The wrist needs to be more posable

Eh, I like the feature but unless it's running on dc power you can't leave it on very long anyway. If I'm posing my figures with their sabers I just use the loose hilts and blades. If I'm going to photograph them I'll swap out for the lite brite.

besides in most light sources the non lit blades give off great illumination

Now there is an accessory we need....

Still haven't ordered any figures from The Force Awakens yet but will likely get Rey and BB-8 as well as Finn and Kylo Ren (although not sure if I should wait for a possible re-release with a Driver sculpt,). Not sure if I'll bother with Troopers as there's just too many of them. Kind of curious why Hot Toys has slowed down on other characters such as Poe and Han. Unless they're holding out for May the 4th.

Disney owns about 90% of their money making properties... HT will do whatever Disney/LFL/Marvel tell them to do at this point.

 

[Mike86]

Yeah I know the focus is Civil War at the moment which I'm fine with since I'll be collecting some of those figures too. Just a bit surprised that they've held off on a couple of the main characters. I'm sure we'll get them eventually though.

I'm certain we will. They're not done milking TFA yet. I'm sure they'll at least make a Poe and a Han and Chewie.
