You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to devilof76 again.

You must spread some cash to Dave before giving it to Margot's *** again.

I wonder if HT will make Maz. I hope she's not a one and done character... She ended up being one of my favorites.

I doubt she is a one and done. She seems to be the Yoda of the new trilogy, so I'm sure we will see her in all the movies.

Agreed! She still owe Han's an answer to his question "How do you get Luke's lightsabre?"

Either Luke went back to bespin and found the saber, then gave it to Mas for safekeeping, or someone else found it and through a series of deals and shady goings on, Mas came into possession of it.
Star Wars is FULL of back stories we are never told, it's the HALLMARK of SW. There's not that thing we got in Star Trek where someone would spout an entire back history of a previous episode to get the audience up to speed.
If they explain something, fine. If not, fill in the blanks with your imagination, lol. That's what you have it for.

Yeah certainly, you are right! Likewise for Darth Vader's mask. Haha!

Exactly!
i don't want to know where he got Vaders mask. The obvious answer is that he went to endor to get it. But I don't want to be told.
The same way I don't need to be told how Poe got back from Jakku. I read the book and DO know, but I didn't need to be told. He got back.
If there's one thing we learned from the prequels is that leaving the backstory vague can be a good thing. Filling in the blanks of the clone wars and midi chlorians and such like only reduces the value overall. We need to NOT be told where the Saber came from. We need them never to mention again about Vaders helmet. It happens in real life. There are stories you never learn everything about. And the world keeps spinning regardless.

So I'm pretty new to collecting these figures. Is there any chance they update her head sculpt before it releases? It just doesn't look right to me. Finn looks perfect in comparison.

It's possible. Nothing on a prototype is ever final. However, if it is indeed the final sculpt or whatever the final sculpt ends up being doesn't look right to you, they won't redo it based on that alone.

lol, I realize they will not change it because of my opinion of it. I was just wondering if it could happen or has happened before.

I'm still considering the figure since if I don't really dig the HS I could use the desert goggles look.

I just recently found out that if I don't order these things early enough then I won't get them in that first shipment that is received.

Budget Stark's video of Rey assuaged a lot of my reservations toward the Rey sculpt.

 

[SilverStar17]

Oh yeah, it's happened several times. As mentioned, the prototype usually isn't the final figure, it just gives you a general idea on what the figure will look like and what to expect. They don't change much, but they do make some alterations. Sometimes, the sculpt is one of them. I can't really give a ratio on how often it happens, but it does happen.

I actually have two Rey's ordered; a single one and then the set with BB-8. I want to have one with the desert scavenger look and then one with the lightsaber.

A great example of a figure being released with a much improved head sculpt is the AoU Scarlet Witch. The new sculpt is light years better than the proto pics. I, however, think the Rey sculpt is already pretty spot on. Any improvement would make it perfect.

My sentiments as well regarding the sculpts for both figures.

Such a big word for a small forum?

[WhoaItsJBot]

Several figures have had noticeable improvements from proto to final. Man of Steel, AC Batman and TDW Loki sculpt are the first that come to mind. Affleck Batman will be another.

Maybe it's more the expression? The wide-eyed look and the open mouth?

Where's squinty-eyed Rey?

I assume they were going for something akin to this expression (without the side-eye, obviously).
