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

[guyver1]

One thing that I liked about TFA, especially the ending is that Rey is still unknown. I like that she went to Luke by herself. Yes I know Chewy is with her. But the subtext that Leia could've had one of the commanders company Rey or Leia could've went herself. But I think they trust Rey even though they don't know her fully.

What I'm getting is for the beginning of Rey's character there is so much depth. Sure ANH Han, Luke, Leia didn't know each other at first either but by the end of the film it was apparent they became a tight group of friends in such a short time.

I like how Rey seems like an outsider and a lone wolf, but she's fine with that. That's what I like that Abrams wanted the audience to experience.

She isn't Luke. Even Luke himself is thinking " Who are you? "

I think the premise for Rey is exactly that throughout the whole film " Who is she "

My theory is simple. The Skywalkers were not the only force users in the entire universe. Rey is the start of a new lineage of force users. The force wasn't passed on to her, it has "awoken" in her.

It wouldn't surprise me if they reveal that her true name isn't Rey. A Youtube blogger made an interesting comment that the pilot helmet she had on Jakku had the initials " REY " on it.

I think someone has erased her mind and the force is bringing it back slowly.

That actually would make sense. I have wondered if she had named herself that.

Your name is Rey. You will live as a scavenger on Jakku, you know you were left here by somebody but you don't know who. However, they will be back one day so you will remain here and wait for them.

 

[JCFETT]

I'd like to awake in her.... LOL >_>

 

[guyver1]

The whole idea of Rey being a scavenger was interesting. Did she do it just to eat. I think that was what that creature gave her

 

[WhoaItsJBot]

There doesn't seem to be much else on Jakku. You're either a dealer or a scavenger.

For me the biggest tell is Maz telling Rey about Luke's saber. Paraphrasing here but "it was Luke's and his father's before him, and now it call out to YOU." Why would a Skywalker family heirloom call out to some random girl with force sensitivity? She has to somehow be related to Luke,IMO.

I'm going with this theory.

Yet to order the figure.

Like just under £50 I think it was. Ok, not a massive difference, but still not as bad as almost £70.

I'm done with SS and I'm done with FedEx. After contacting FedEx about the issue they have ignored my emails and decided that they'll just automatically charge me instead of trying to help me.

Do you have any friends in the US(Who aren't on this forum), able to help and unlikely to already order from Sideshow?
If you do, ask if you can use their address. You get it shipped to them and they ship it to you marked as dolly accessories, gift, $15.
That's what i do.

The exact lettering on the area above her ears(On the helmet) is (R), (ae), (H).

And the Auerebesh alphabet:

Nah I don't, and I don't trust anyone enough for that.

Never mind then. It's handy to cultivate friendships abroad though.
All my SS deliveries go to a friend of mine in the US, and he sends them to me.
Since 2012, i have ordered: MOS, Rescue Cap, Av Thor, IM3 Tony, Jor-El, Sam Flynn Lightcycle, Selina Kyle, Av Black Widow, IM Midas, TWS Cap, Marty McFly, IM2 Tony, SS Superman, General Zod, AV2 Cap, AV2 Hawkeye, AV2 BW, Robocop, SS R2D2, Maria Hill, Rey & BB8, Obi Wan and Ant Man. With the exception of the ones that aren't out yet, they all went to my friend and then forwarded to me.
Of course, you have to have a friend you can trust.
Every now and then, i order something i think my friend would like as a surprise. When it arrives, i let him know it's a gift for him.
Plus, he owns an online model sales business, so he ships several times a day anyway.

Takes a while to build up some trust like that though. And even then I'd still have my doubts.

Well, i used to make model kit master patterns for him. So, over the years, the patterns i made netted him a fair bit of cash, as he produced the kits of the pieces i made. All the current arrangement requires is for him to post items to me and tell me how much the postage was. Generally it's about £30 for a figure. He just forwards everything to me and i reimburse him for the service.

 

[WhoaItsJBot]

I can't imagine paying all those extra fees that folks overseas get charged, so I'd probably help someone out like that if I was asked, as long as I was reimbursed the shipping charges.

That's very kind of you, but the best arrangement is with someone who doesn't already order from SS. It goes by address. Let's say you were helping me out. I can't imagine you'd be happy if i ordered a "one per customer" item that you also wanted, and when you put your order in, it wasn't processed because it's one per customer...
With Maria Hill, i wanted one for my Cap shelf and my Avengers shelf so i had to find someone on here that *wasn't* going to order her, lol. I ordered one myself but needed help with the second one.
It can get a little complicated when that happens. My Brother is in a facebook group Superman fans, and he gets all his SS items delivered to a fellow group member. That is also handy when i want a double(Got another Midas that way, and another Golden Age Cap).
It just gets too messy when it's a fellow member on here.
