EVERYONE needs to do this....

...but nobody should need to do this!

Well I was bored and decided to put together a quick before and after comparison with an older pic I found. And man, I forgot just how clean and white this thing used to be.

Good buy?

Finally unboxed my Rey from DisneyWorld trip in November.

She is am amazing piece, very pleased with it.

Here are some first shot from the iphone....I'll do better one later.

Nice pics!

I am surprised there is not more indignant outrage about BB-8. This is a terrible figure. Especially when viewing the film. He is TOTALLY over scaled. There is hardly any texture , especially in the grooves around the body. The paint apps are almost non existent. Honestly its not much better than the Sphero.

 

[davejames]

Hmm, if he is overscaled, it doesn't look like by much to me (and even that's only because Rey herself is underscaled). In the end he still comes up to about the middle of her upper leg.

Its the bottom ball part...its way to big in relation to the top (head)....look how wide the bottom of BB-8 is....

Not to mention the outrageous color mis-match??

Agree with this.

My biggest gripe with it is just the auburn color as opposed to the brighter orange, which to me is more just a "whatever" thing. Not a big deal. I do think it may be a tad over scaled, but as you said, it's not by much. Like you mentioned also, Rey possibly being a bit under sized may play a factor also (though I heard somewhere that it's actually Kylo Ren who's over scaled and Rey is actually the correct size). He actually also appears to be in scale with the ANH SSC R2-D2, based on what I saw in TFA as far as where he came up to about when alongside R2 towards the end of the film.

 

[xipotec]

Seems like none of this should be an issue at all. No way I can display Rey besides Kylo......the look like different scales entirely.

Strange they screwed up something like scale...they should be beyond this problem...

Seriously you guys cannot see that BB head is too small? Look at how much of the top ball his head take up in that pic...then look at the HT....

I see it. Clearly. One of the reasons I passed on this set. The other being Rey's diminutive size.

 

[FlyAndFight]

Strangely enough, it was my enjoyment of "Rogue One" that had me finally picking up this set.

I currently only have the Jakku Trooper as my sole representation of TFA. But after watching "Rogue One" and wanting a Jyn and K2, I now want to display the heroines and their droids -

Rey & BB8
Jyn & K2
Leia & R2

So went to Ebay for a good deal on a Rey/BB8 set.

*Also, a good bud has the set and it does look fantastic, so that was an influence as well.

 

[SilverStar17]

That'd be a pretty neat set up. Nice.

 

[Wor-Gar]

I know a lot of people will want a pairing of Jyn + K2, which means a balance in the force with Rey + BB8.

That OCD almost bit me too. Fortunately, I didn't care for Jyn enough... so I was saved.

I'm gonna pair K2 with... Death Trooper I guess.

 

[SilverStar17]

I didn't care for Jyn enough...

Spoiler

Apparently some people in my theater when I saw the film felt the same. You heard more "Awws" when K2 got destroyed more than when Jyn died.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Yeah, I like her fine enough to follow in a movie, but just not enough to have her on the shelf. I'd say that might change with Rey as she's got another two movies. But I think Jyn's chances are unlikely.

Agreed. I'm waiting on Rey's final look to get her. And Jyn and the rebels are looking like the odd ones out. I'm thinking go full imperial for this movie (Vader, Tarkin, Krennic, 2 Death Troopers) and gladly call it a day.

Rey's finale look may be a tombstone..
