    @PadmeLeiaJaina


    She is beautiful. I am so happy I spent the last 8 months pinching money to get her. My son had to help me put it all together, my eyes have gotten worse, I just got my prescription last year and already they don't work. In any event I wanted her with her lightsaber. I have put all the hands, and accessories in a gallon zip lock bag and I am storing it in the bottom cabinet of my bedroom entertainment center. Eventually I will want to put all her scavenger clothes on but for now I just want to be able to look at her face! Looks so great. Does make me a little sad, My snow bunny Padme' Sideshow doll is just not up to the standard it could/ should have been, Has anyone had any success in finding someone to paint Padme's eyes.

    Poor Snowbunny Padme - Sideshow gave her a horrific paint job and no hair and because THEY screwed up we've never gotten another 12" figure of her again....GRRRRRR! Worst thing is I've seen them w/o their paint and the face mold looks EXACTLY like Natalie Portman.

    So let's talk about Rey and BB-8!

    This figure I think is beautiful but I really wish we'd gotten 2 heads, one w/ actual hair for wearing w/ her standard costume and one w/ molded hair that you can put under her scavenger costume. I love Rey but I feel the molded hair is a little flat so it makes her head look a little "off." I actually prefer her in her scavenger outfit as a result, BUT as the packaging warned, the fabric on the hood could damage the figure if you leave it on her for too long so I guess she won't be displayed in that.

    Other than that she is beautiful.

    Here she is w/ all of her swag, she came w/ nearly as much stuff as ANH Luke:

    I like her artwork better than Finn's.

    Pretty face paint, fascinating thing w/ this paint job, she looks completely different whether she has direct or indirect light on her face.

    Here's indirect:

    BB-8 is adorbs his head stays attached w/ magnets and he stays in place when you put him even on flat surfaces thanks to magnets. His back antennea was a bear to get to stay in.

    Scavenger costume

    I really love this the extra pieces are really easy to get on, other than the hood which on mine doesn't quite squish down all of the way.

    Sheesh $229 w/ no accessories for Luke, but man does he look amazing. Have to wait until next payday (am back from my trip) and I'll likely be putting the second Rey, Luke, and Yoda all on pre-order. I've got $91 in Sideshow bucks that are burning a hole in my pocket.

    Well FRAK Resistance Rey is on Waitlist. GRRRR!

    Well I've decided - since Rey isn't available, I don't need her or Luke. That saves me $400+ dollars. I can just order Yoda and get him cheap.

    Thing is I can nearly bet we'll be getting an almost exactly the same version w/ more accessories once Ep 8 comes out, same w/ the Rey.

    I might get a Jyn Erso if Hot Toys does her (am thinking I might only get a few collectibles of her from Rogue One.) Or just wait to see if they do more Leias.

    Really incredible likenesses of Rey & Finn, Padme - very lifelike. The skin almost looks like real skin - amazing. Are you sure they're not actually alive, like the Chucky doll in the "Child's Play" films?! LOL. All kidding aside, these look spectacular.

    The Chirrut figure really is amazing. As an Asian company, the allure of making Donnie Yen as a hot toy must have been overwhelmingly strong. We can also see Baze in there as well.

    "I rebel!" Jyn Erso 1/6 Scale Hot Toys figure revealed - 2 area available - deluxe and standard.

    I missed out on the second Rey so I made sure to immediately get my order in for the Deluxe version.

    Deluxe comes w/ her coat, hat and more fire power.

    I'm not quite sure how it works but Sideshow sent me an emails that if you buy it looks like any of the first order stormtrooper type 2 pack figures from Hot Toys (including the one w/ Finn) you get a whole extra trooper for free. I'm assuming maybe he'll pop up at checkout?

    Example - when I clicked the page nothing indicated the offer, so I'm not quite sure how it works.
