New (single) 1/6th scale figure of Rey from Hot Toys available for pre-order!
Sideshowtoy.com and Hot Toys have released another pre-order for a new (single) Rey 1/6th scale action figure! The figure costs $225 and is expected to ship around May 2016 to July 2016. I previously blogged about Hot Toys’ similar Rey and BB-8 double figure.
Your can pre-order this new (single) Rey 1/6th scale action figure.
According to the details:
The release of the long-awaited Star Wars: The Force Awakens is here! Featuring a cast of new and familiar faces, the epic sequel takes fans on a very exciting journey in a galaxy far, far away!
Sideshow Collectibles and Hot Toys are thrilled to officially present the sixth scale collectible figure of the movie’s heroine – Rey!
Rey is a resilient survivor, a scavenger toughened by a lifetime of dealing with the cutthroats of the harsh desert world of Jakku.
The highly-accurate collectible figure is specially crafted based on the image of Daisy Ridley as Rey in the film featuring a newly developed head sculpt, two interchangeable looks, finely tailored outfit, highly detailed accessories, and a hexagonal figure stand with the Resistance’s emblem.
Here are some photos of the new toy:

Premium Format refers to a figure that is 1/4 scale (18″) so it’s larger than a normal scale figure and is made with a mix of materials, not just resin.
Here is a preview photo of the new toy:

New Force Awakens toys leaked by Walmart
Fortune.com reports that Walmart accidentally leaked new Force Awakens toys and sold one of those toys that I had previously blogged about.
According to the article:
A Walmart in Council Bluffs, Iowa, put a figurine of the new female character Rey wearing her so-called “resistance outfit” on shelves recently with a price tag of about $7. But when Star Wars collector and host of the podcast Star Wars Action News, Justin Kozisek, purchased the product earlier this week and posted a picture to Facebook, he set off a firestorm.
Facebook removed the photo, notifying Star Wars Action News that it violated the copyright of Disney , which owns Star Wars production company Lucasfilm. As the photo was shared across various social media outlets, Disney, Lucasfilm and another third-party company reportedly sent Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) notices demanding that the images be removed, according to Ars Technica.
Other Rey action figures, all made by Hasbro, have been available for sale since Sept. 4, such as the “snow mission” version of the heroine (pictured above), which is sold out on Walmart.com. But the one Kozisek bought has not been officially released, nor publicized by Hasbro in its product announcements: It features Rey wearing a tight-fitting version of her beige outfit with a sleeveless blazer—and holding a blue lightsaber, which some fan blogs declared a plot spoiler.
Here is the photo of the new toy from my previous post:

Desert Assault Walker with First Order Stormtrooper Officer debuts
Entertainmentearth.com have debuted a brand new Forace Awakens toy: A Desert Assault Walker with a 3 3/4″ First Order Stormtrooper action figure. The figure is exclusive to the site. Price: $30.
According to the site:
The 7-inch tall Desert Assault Walker features an articulated chin gun, jointed hips, and moving ankles so you can pose it in a variety of fun and menacing ways. The brown vehicle sports red highlights and a unique deco you won’t find anywhere else!
The 3 3/4-inch First Order Stormtrooper Officer is designed to stand perfectly atop his mighty mechanical monster. He boasts fully articulated shoulders, hips, and neck. His blaster is painted with black details and is specially designed to plug right in to his thigh, rather than deal with bulky and antiquated holsters.
