Some pics I took at NYCC. Definite purchase for me.

WOW! Best pics to come out so far! Thank you so much bro

 

[kimsoyens]

okay the portrait is better on these pics. but still worried on the end result from production. will order if it will be close to the prototype.

Face looks much better when displayed full on profile.

I just love this piece.. to bad BB8 is on a separate base

 

[Centurion]

I wish they would have gone with mixed media with the wraps around her arms, but it still looks OK as is.

Mattman, great shots! Definitely the best so far, and it's nice to see shots that weren't taken by Sideshow that actually look good!

With those shots you took, so long as the price is reasonable (which I HIGHLY doubt ) then I'm likely on board with her. As others have mentioned, here's hoping that production can nail it as well, as it's so easy to lose things during the painting process. The prototype is a professional that spends loads of time on just the one piece, so it's happened time and time again where production pieces lose a bit of the look...that's risky here, as it's an actress with zero helmet or mask covering her face...it's all out there. Easy to go from a solid Daisy sculpt to a Rey cosplayer due to paints/production.

Again, that's just experience and fear coming from how much I know this'll cost. It's the same with every PF thread because you really never know if it'll be a hit or a miss until you open the box more often than not. I'm hoping they're able to nail it. The 1/5th Kenobi Mythos is one of the best likenesses they've ever done! I actually would've been fine with this being 1/5th also, but I know that's like blasphemy around these parts for some reason.

In short: great shots Matt...you really captured her perfectly from all angles and showed the true distortion in earlier shots. Really looking forward to this piece going up for order now...I'm just hoping it's no more than $650 with BB-8, but I fear $699.99 with him, which would be getting insane. Oh, and I noticed that earlier also Centurion, about the arm wraps...I'm guessing they didn't want them sliding down? Or something made it easier to go this route? But yeah, it definitely leaves more chance of paint from the wraps ending up on the arm or vice versa if they're not careful.

Fingers crossed all around.

I like that he is separate. I plan to display him with the droids.

How would the sphero bb8 compare to this?

touche!!!

1/4 is much bigger .. no electronics

Wow, those pictures really helped. Thank you Mattman. I really can't wait for it to go up for pre-order now. Still kind of nervous about the price though. I very much want both Rey and BB-8, but if its very expensive I might have to settle for just Rey (Assuming its possible to choose between getting both or just Rey alone).

The Sphero is even smaller than the 1/6 Hot Toys version.

Fantastic pics, thanks for posting them! +1

Definitely putting this on PO day one.

 

[Viper245]

I am with you on this piece Lord Snoopy. A fantastic piece with really great art direction. Definite PO for me.

 

[Darth Snoopy]

Groovy, Viper!

 

[Uncle Bingo]

Wow those pics are the best I've seen! I'm still a bit hesitant to order this when it goes up for PO though, because even though Rey looks incredible here on the prototype, SS has a history of disappointment when it comes to the paintwork of flesh tones on their production pieces. I will probably wait for in-hand pics before pulling the trigger on this.

 

[Phoenixblazes]

Wow everyone here seems to like this piece since the last batch of uploaded pics.

But to my eyes I still don't think the face sculpt is good enough; heck maybe I'm blind or expecting too much. It's sort of good that many here are pleased with it, but I'm probably passing on this piece.

The problem if I order this piece is that I'd then want to get Kylo Ren as well...and then a Stormtrooper....and then etc., etc.

We'll see though.

I feel the same way, but I pretty much just want Rey and Kylo, the two main characters in the film. Maybe a stormtrooper and Finn, and maybe Phasma... lol

That's pretty much how it starts.

 

[Viper245]

All I need from TFA is Rey and BB8. Rey was the main character of the film and BB8 is too cool to pass up plus he was her side kick for most the film.

Groovy, Viper!
