The pre-order begins for 1/6th scale Rey and BB-8 figures, price revealed

Sideshowtoy.com has now released the pre-order for the 1/6th scale collectable figures of Rey and BB-8 from Hot Toys which I previously blogged about. The price has also been revealed: $290.

Here’s a reminder of the features of these figures:

Our new heroine Rey is a resilient survivor, a scavenger toughened by a lifetime of dealing with the cutthroats of the harsh desert world of Jakku. We are sure Star Wars fans are anxious to see where the journey will lead for Rey and her newfound droid.

The highly-accurate Rey collectible figure is specially crafted based on the image of Daisy Ridley in the film featuring a newly developed head sculpt with fine hair sculpture, two interchangeable looks, meticulously tailored outfit, highly detailed accessories, and a hexagonal figure stand with the Resistance’s emblem.

The highly accurate BB-8 collectible is specially crafted on the image of the unique designed droid in Star Wars: The Force Awakens. It features a newly developed spherical body embedded with self-balancing mechanisms, LED light up eyes, and a specially designed Jakku desert-themed figure base attachable to Rey’s hexagonal figure stand.

As a reminder here are some photos of these two 1/6th scale collectable figures:
