I posted this on the Spoiler thread as well, but thought I'd put it in here too in response to the spoiler comment by Sevreed above. Happy to remove this if there is an outcry...

Spoiler

For all those thinking that Rey "picked up" on the Force powers too quickly, remember... There was no safety buffer or step by step given to Luke when Ben begins to train him. He famously tossed him the sabre and said hey, this thing was your father's see what you think of it. Just a short while later he got him BLINDFOLDED and asked to defend against the Attacks of the remote. It's not about leaning a corse of study, it's about TRUSTING your feelings, FEELING the Force, ALLOWING it to GIUDE your actions and obey your commands.

Luke's issues, which were actually brilliantly brought out in ANH, were that he was too tied to the mundanities of his life, bogged down by his Uncle's philosophies and pragmatism to allow himself to "let go". Later, with the death of Owen and removal of all to which he was previously tethered, he swings in the opposite direction. His thirst for adventure, excitement (a Jedi craves not these things) similarly impede his deliverance to the danger, she is DESCIPLINED in all that she does and in the way that she's taught herself so many technical skills. With all of these qualities (and extreme hotness on top of it all), and the Force lineage that we'll soon see, the real wonder is that she's not already at MASTER level.

Keep in mind, there wasn't always a Jedi "Academy" at the top of a Jedi temple on Courasant. There had to have been Force sensitive individuals who came before who built all of that. I think Rey could be the new Chosen One with Luke as the new Yoda...nature of the Force to the point that Yoda fears he is untrainable. These personal elements within Luke are some of what makes him such a compelling character.

Now, flash forward to Rey. She is an absolute NATURAL. she is PATIENT in her meager situation on Jakku , putting up with a demeaning job and boss waiting for her family, she is CALM in the face of great

personally i think....

Spoiler

after her mind was tapped into a metal block was kinda knocked out of place and training she perhaps already had started to come back into play... maybe even after she picked up the (her fathers/grandfathers?) lightsaber...

but she defiantly had a new wind about her after she was mind raped

This looks great! I'm still clinging to my OT-Imperials and bad guys rule but after seeing the movie I'm really tempted by this and Finn.

She looks really good in that last shot. Beautiful figure!

Excellent looking set.

The sand addon to the base is a cool display touch.

Looks cool with the head cover and goggles as well.

I used to think it was ugly, but her gun is even cooler now that Han Solo gave it to her.

Funny how that works; same here. And she only had two outfits for the whole movie; this is the 'iconic' look for her, imo.....bb-8 2 pack all the way

Loved the characters in this movie. I know they are building on a the Star Wars history but they just immediately win you over. One of the nice things which goes back to the roots of SW is that they aren't Jedi or royalty. They are just two tiny people in the galaxy.

Before watching the movie I had no interest in this set, but after watching it, I want this the most.

Rey with Farmboy Luke would make a pretty sweet display. the color palette are similar and maybe even add R2 and BB8 with them on each side to have some contrast.

Hey o/ I'm new to collecting figurines but this specific figurine is the one that made me took interest in it. It's super expensive but I really want to get it, I have a few questions though: Do you know of any other figurines series with comparable quality and size (and about the same prices or lower)? Is there a chance that this figurines will be sold out from the start if I don't pre-order it? Thanks a lot of enlightening me!

Welcome

No, theres no other substitute for hot Toys currently.

It will not be sold out, theres plenty of it to go around, though there might be price increase or decrease depending on the demand then.

I agree. I could never have predicted that before the movie.

I'm the same. No interest in figures before, but now Rey and BB-8 are must haves for my collection.

Who can just pick up a lightsaber for the first time and fight trained dark side wielding sith. Yes excellent...

We also know where rey comes from, so she's not just some random person in the galaxy.

I was exactly the same a couple of years ago. I had always bought Hasbro figures of what I wanted but then they started trying to push 6 inch versions of the same stuff. The 3.75 stuff alarmingly dropped in quality and I was out of collecting.

Then I purchased Sideshow Bacara. He isn't my favourite figure by a long way now, but he was miles better than what Hasbro were offering. The biggest problem is you buy one and then you will want another. And another. Etc. I have built up a good sized collection now and have several on pre order.

But I have not tired of any of them. You get what you pay for which is a piece of finally crafted art.

I'm sort of tempted, but it's not a must have for me.

I think once the figuarts ver is shown, I'll be less tempted to get the HT.
