1/6 Hot Toys - Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker - Rey & D-O

Great shot!

Take THIS, my friend!

Great setup (I almost went to switch my Rey and Kylo into this pose until I remembered that Rey is currently headless due to the head having being sent off for some customising ). What’s the backdrop meant to be?

Kijimi. Great work on the cape QuiGon.

That’s the planet Kijimi when Rey and Kylo we’re distance communicating through The Force when Rey was on Kylo’s fleet ship, and Kylo was on Kijimi looking for Rey, Finn, Poe, and 3PO.

Kijimi. Great work on the cape QuiGon.

Thanks man! Yeah, had to work a little magic to remove the display stand!

got Rey in today, and found a pose i liked! i'm a sucker for using all the accessories when i first open up a figure, haha

 

[The Green Goblin]

This figure would be perfect if it had decent ankle articulation. Kylo too.

 

[cerealkeller]

Well I now found a new screensaver!! Thank you for doing this my friend! You are crazy talented!

Just picked up this set from preorder at local comic shop. Haven’t had a chance to open it yet.

One of my fav pics from the bloggers when Rey first dropped was the one of her crouched down with both sabres in hand...

Love this figure and it was a real hassle to set up. The hand pegs were tough to put back into the arms!!!
Gripped the figure too hard around the arm and as a result the coating looks on the arm came off. Not sure how sure if there’s a way to even fix this

Ouch so sorry to hear that @Darth Fok

May I ask why you took of her arm? is it to remove the white plastic sheet?

Could the coating that came off on her arm is a result of scrapping against the arm band?

Yeah not quite sure. I didn’t removed the arm but I think I may have gripped it too tight when I was trying to get the arm band on.

Wow. Very thin paint.

If adding an arm band to a seamless arm, I would always sit it in boiling water for a few minutes to soften the material and expand it slightly.
Of course, if you are new to the hobby, that might be something you wouldn’t think to do.

The only way to fix that is to repaint with an airbrush...I think...

 

[Mad Old Lu]

Wow, sorry to hear that Darth Fok.

I can attest that it can be fairly easy for that to happen. I mentioned when I got her that putting the hands on was rather difficult with the rubber arms. The rubber sheathing tends to slide towards the wrist as you are holding it with the opposite hand when you're trying to put a hand on. So you kinda have to grip the arm tighter in order to grasp it well enough to push back against the force to put the hand in. I guess gripping it a little too hard will cause enough friction to rub the paint off (that's what she said).

 

[sithocan]

Why didn't HT put it on the arm themselves?

 

[Mad Old Lu]

Here are a few more pictures of Rey with her dopplegangers. It's a really outstanding figure.

 

[sithocan]

Subtle but realistic pose.

You’re too kind. Stop inspiring me with your awesome group shots and we can stop all this nonsense!

hahahaha yeah I'll know for next time. Fortunately, it's not overly obvious but I notice it
