She is ALL the Jedi... whatever that means.
Well, I had the Gary Stu of Star Wars heroes with Starkiller, might as well get
Rey, the Mary Sue! For all her
failings as a character, she was out first Movie female Jedi that actually had something important to do, and she gave us our first yellow movie saber.
I absolutely
love how she came out. Unlike Kylo, they nailed Daisy Riddle's likeness to a tee, so she looks exactly like Rey does. Her costumes is made out of flowing clothes and robes, so I think she looks
incredible. I warmed up enough to Rey and Kylo to be able to say that I actually think they both look really cool, and I really dig their action figures. She comes with the droid, D-O, and a tiny bit of plastic to help him stand... which I
lost somewhere! She comes with a light-saber, a blaster and her staff. Now, her saber is a bit of a missed opportunity because, even though this is Rise of Skywalker's Rey... this is Anakin's saber.
Again. Many Lukes come with Anakin's saber, Anakin comes with Anakin's saber, a special edition Ben Kenobi comes with Anakin's saber and EVEN Rey comes with Anakin's saber... she should have come with Leia's or her own original saber, not Anakin's again, even though,
admittedly, it's the saber she used the most. Maybe she should've come with Anakin's and Leia's or Anakin's and her's.
Articulation covers all the beats of older Black Series' figures. The only bit worth pointing out is that her holster is glued to her right leg, so if you try to turn that leg too much it will break the holster... which might work out for the
best, since it's also connected to her waist piece, and it might be better for the holster to hover over her waist and grant her all 360 degrees of turning to her leg. It is what happened to my Comic Book Luke. She is a bit shorter than Bucky Cap.
Rey is a very
solid action figure. I absolutely love having her in my collection... but man, she should've come with another saber!
