Two New Rogue One Funko Pop! Bobble Head toys revealed!
StarWars.com posts today about new exclusive Rogue One Funko Pop! Bobble Head toys that will appear in the subscription box of Smuggler’s Bounty’s website (tip of the hat to Rebelscum.com and Starwarsunderworld.com)!
These two new bobble head toys are expected to ship on November 16th.
Here’s a highlight of the interview that StarWars.com’s Dan Brooks had with Smuggler’s Bounty’s senior product designer Reis O’Brien about these new bobble head toys and the ones I previously blogged about:
StarWars.com: Let’s dive into two new Rogue One figures in the upcoming Smuggler’s Bounty subscription box. First, Jyn Erso in her mountain gear. What was the creative process for Jyn? What assets were you given from Lucasfilm to inform her look, and how did you develop her to get the right look and pose in the final figure?
Reis O’Brien: We were fortunate enough to get amazing reference photos from Lucasfilm, which is something that toy designers dream about, believe me! The photos we received left out no detail, so we were able to go into this pretty confidently.
As far as “capturing the character” goes, that’s a bit trickier. When I first started designing the initial concepts, we hadn’t seen the first trailer yet, so I had no idea how these characters moved or sounded or carried themselves. So there was a lot of guess work.
StarWars.com: What did that guess work involve? Was there a lot of trial and error before you felt like you nailed it?
Reis O’Brien: Looking at the pictures of Jyn in her costumes, I just sort of got this feeling that she was the type of person that shook things up, maybe had a touch of attitude. So I tried to show that in something as subtle and seemingly unimportant as a lean onto one hip. And honestly, that’s about as much as you’re going to get out of a Pop!, which by nature are very rigidly posed. But we’re starting to push that more and more and experiment with action poses and whatnot, so I imagine that we’ll be able to show more personality in future figures. It wasn’t so much a matter of trial and error, since I just went with my gut and, luckily, Lucasfilm liked what they saw.
StarWars.com: Now, the Death Trooper. Was it a challenge to keep him (or her?) looking menacing while incorporating the Pop! style?
Reis O’Brien: Actually, no. When a Pop! has its face exposed, and there you are, looking at these big black teddy-bear eyes, it can be very difficult to make a character look menacing. But when I first saw the design of the death troopers’ helmets, I knew that I didn’t need to be overly concerned with cuteness. The helmet’s design is simply dripping with menace! All I had to do was make sure that I captured the right elements that gave it that creepy look.
Here’s the rundown:
1. Rogue One Funko Pop! Jyn Erso (in Mountain Gear) Toy.
2. Rogue One Funko Pop! Imperial Deathtrooper Toy.
