Island Journey Rey Star Wars Black Series Gallery

Posted on March 21, 2018 at 4:50 pm by Tony_Bacala under Random Photo Shoot, Star Wars Toy News

Today we are running a bit of catch up with a late run Star Wars The Last Jedi figure – Island Journey Rey.  Rey is part of Wave 15, though everyone is using different terminology for that these days.  Her wave mates were Lando, Royal Guard, Captain Phasma, First Order Stormtrooper, Poe Dameron, Captain Rex and DJ from TLJ.  All of those we’ve looked at already except DJ.  Rey’s look is from the end of The Force Awakens, and the start of The Last Jedi, where she travels to the island to meet Luke.  She comes with a poncho, her staff, Han’s blaster, and Luke’s long lost saber.   This version uses Hasbro’s new tech with the digital paint on the face.  It’s a big come up from the original Rey which looked like a cheap bootleg in comparison. Overall it’s one of, if not the best, version of Rey that’s come out for Black Series so far and a sharp figure head to toe.  Let’s take a closer look after the break courtesy of Dorkside Toys!

Overall Thoughts:

Sharp!  I’ve dialed back my Black Series pick ups lately, only focusing on figs I really want as opposed to “Gotta Catch Em All’.  This Rey actually shines a bit after several duds.  The one that came with the Speeder is also great, but most of her face is hidden with the mask.  Here, we get a great face sculpt, mixed with the new digital printing for the face.  When zoomed in 100%, it can be a bit soft, off-putting to those used to the hand applied paint, but when it’s done right like here, it’s definitely an upgrade.  See this pic to show the difference.  Now, not all faces are as bad as that first Rey, but there are a lot more mistakes and half-assed applications the old way.  As Hasbro gets better with this style, we should be in for a treat.  The body has good detail and clothes layering in all plastic.  Articulation is solid, though the feet had weird joint locks making standing a pain.  Getting her straight up, without leaning forward or backward was a challenge.  Paint on the body is well applied and has range.  It’s minimal in weathering but the varied neutral tones layer well.  She also comes with a soft-goods cape.  It’s a tad too poofy as almost all soft goods are at this scale, but with a little wax or sticky putty you can position the hood to look like it’s draping properly.

Overall it’s a really good version of Rey, and one I have on display now, worthy of shelf space.

    I still think Hasbro dropped the ball by not including his helmet, I don't care if he barely has it in the new movie or not but I would want this figure displayed with the helmet on and that isn't even an option here. I know there will be the (apparently Walmart) exclusive base version that comes with a helmet but I have yet to see if that one will be an alternate head or just a prop.

    I'm just trying to figure out why the stormtrooper has a turned over Ikea chair as a shield.

    It's a (sideways) riot shield, from the Poe Dameron/Riot Control Stormtrooper 2-pack released for The Force Awakens.

    My riot trooper's arm broke above the joint, snapped right off a while back. It's glued in place, that's as best I can get. Normally I have him tilted back so the shield is behind another trooper. Farked up the setup here, didn't even notice till you said something.

    As long as that guy is Kylo Ren he should come with a helmet.

    Man, these photo shoots are beautiful. I envy your backgrounds and the lighting - especially in the Kylo Ren shoot - add atmosphere.

    This said, Hasbro is certainly putting extra efforts in the 6-inch Black Series and it shows. Kylo Ren looks good and moody, even if his helmet is nowhere to be seen, and Hera looks great with her sharp features.

    I'm ready for a 6-inch Aayla Secura now.

    And Mace Windu, Plo Koon, and Kit Fisto. One figure that I'm genuinely surprised Hasbro still has yet to do is a RotJ red gauntlet Boba Fett, it would be so easy to do yet they just haven't. At the very least where Fett is concerned I think they need to redistribute the crap out of his ESB figure, for looks it's still one of my favorites from the entire line but goddamn that figure was extremely hard for me to get and I know there have got to be a lot of collectors and fans who missed out.

    Love seeing the Ghost crew together, but Zeb, Chopper, and (to a lesser extent)Ezra are seriously missed.

    This new Kylo head is way more detailed than the previous unmasked version, it looks really good up close.

    It kinda bothers me that it looks like Luke is threatening Rey. LOL. I hope there is no scene like that in the movie and Luke's emo phase is short lived... good guy Luke is the best.

    I have no idea what's gonna happen in the movie, not been following spoilers or any of that. When I set this up I was thinking more of "tough love" training.

    Great pics! I bet Luke wont have his green sabre in this film, at some point during his self imposed exile, he took it apart and the kyber crystal has now changed color to match his new neutral emo state, and he wears it around his neck on a chain.

    Junk (in my opinion of course).

    These things are already clogging shelves at toys r us. I mean, black series figures this time around are even more difficult to find than last time. Walmart has zero interest in stocking anything, target is flooded with their exclusive troopers, and toys r us still can't get rid of their jyn's and zuvio's.

    I don't think they're junk, but I hear you. If I didn't do photography regularly, not sure I'd jump in on these 2, at this price at least. But with the added use of having a mini-dio I can swap in for shots on demand with zero setup, it's worth it for me. If they don't bomb and the sets get more refined over time, has potential IMO.
