UPDATE 8! Star Wars: The Force Awakens Action Figures LEGO Sets, & Funko Pop! Toys Leak Out!

Finn

Through a series of unfortunate (for Disney) coincidences, images have fortunately (for us) leaked out of the first wave of Star Wars: The Force Awakens action figures! Inside are images both for the movie and new takes on a few classic Star Wars characters – and a new, never-before-seen character is revealed in the first wave!

 

Thanks to Yakface and Jedi Temple Archives for providing the images!

Let’s compile a few new details we know about from the new toys:

  • The new character – seen in the center of that last photograph and detailed on the back of one of the other toy boxes – is named Constable Zuvio.
  • Finn and Kylo Ren have “Winter” variant costumes that fit over the action figures. Chewbacca and the Stormtrooper shown above have something similar.
  • So do Luke Skywalker, Boba Fett, Poe Dameron, and the Flametrooper. (See below.)
  • Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker, and Boba Fett use the same packaging, but do not have “The Force Awakens” included as part of their logo.
  • Several vehicle designs take a page out of Revenge Of The Sith. (See below.)
  • Many toys have a “build-a-weapon” feature that one can access by buying three different toys. The matches are Finn/Flametrooper/Constable Zubio, Luke Skywalker/Captain Phasma/Kylo Ren, Stormtrooper/Rey/Darth Vader, and the three pilots.

Stay tuned as we find more out about the various Star Wars products that are coming soon.

 

UPDATE!

 

We just found two more leaked photos and a collage of everything put together!

There’s now a closer look at Rey’s figure, including her character description on the back of her toy package.

UPDATE 4!

 

Who’s to say that all the reveals are going to be action figures? The seven major LEGO sets set to be released around Force Friday have been unveiled, along with another action figure and vehicle. (Thanks to Twitter user @StarWarsJunk for finding the back to one of these.)

Some cool new information that can be gleaned from these images – such as the fact that Rey fends off against the thugs of a Jakku slimeball named Unkar. Mostly, we get a closer look at the new ships and some of the foot soldiers that work for the Resistance and the First Order.

 

All of this stuff looks like it comes out of the first two-thirds of the film, so I would imagine that they’re keeping the last portion of the movie tightly under wraps until the release of the movie, only showing generic soldiers as opposed to named characters on the snow planet. Indeed, we know that there are a few LEGO sets (some labeled under The Force Awakens, some not yet fully “revealed”) set for release early next year – one of which transpires at a location called “Takonada”. Never doubt J. J. Abrams and Bad Robot when it comes to marketing secrecy!

 

UPDATE 5!

 

And so, the first two of five leaked Black Series figures tied to The Force Awakens come to light – Chewbacca and the newest iteration of the Stormtrooper. (Thanks to UltimateToyCollector1 on Facebook.)

UPDATE 6!

 

Here’s Finn’s Black Series toy.

UPDATE 7!

 

This is the last batch for now – Rey, BB-8, and Kylo Ren. The collector says that he has more toys to show off, so we’ll keep tabs on him.

UPDATE 8!

 

Now, onto the Funko Pop! toys. Thanks to The Cantina user Pavel for bringing these to my attention.

        The Bespin Luke is probably a flash back, that lightsaber he lost was at Bespin. Plus Of course Vader and Boba Fett were both there as wel. Maybe Fett is the one who found his light saber. From the trailer someone did

    What a time to check the site! Been waiting all year for this update. I love the individual character art for the package though I like many others would have preferred the vintage art, This is the next best thing.

    Curious that none of the big three are available though nor Snoak and other mystery characters but they’ll probably be released closer to the film.

        He’s Finn Windu, I am going to bet. A grand-nephew, who has no idea he’s descended from a great Jedi. When the Force “awakens” within him, he starts to see the lies of the First Order, and the evil behind them. That’s why he ditches the FO, and sides with the Resistance.

        Its Starkiller base, its a first order base on a snowy planet, Starkiller was the original name that luke was given in concept but later changed to skywalker. The base is named in honor of that just like the lead in the PC games voiced by sam witwer

    I don’t like the Disney logo on the box. Just keep it Lucasfilm. The size of the action figures are too big they don’t match the size of normal SW figures. These look more like black series.

      Funny, I didn’t notice the Disney Logo at all. It took me a third glance to see it, I was busy thinking how good the articulation looks on the Chrometrooper.
      It was wise of them to literally hide the Disney logo in small print.

      Though I second your viewpoint on the weird Bonus “I’m not designed by a marketing exec” Accessory thingy.
      Reminds me of one time I got a movie-accurate Spiderman toy… with a crappily designed, cheap-plastic helicopter bike thing in all the wrong shades of blue and red, and I’m thinking “WHY?”. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I doubt that spiderman ever, at any point, rode a helicopter-bike-thingy that looks like it was designed by Dare-Devil.

      And now they got the same clunky out of place BS on some perfectly decent SW toys… no matter, I’ll just chuck the other stuff in the bin and keep the actual toy 😉

        Sorry to tell you, but none of these figures have much in the way of articulation. They all have 5 points of articulation: head moves in circle, arms move up and down, and legs move forward and back. That’s it. There is no articulation in the middle, no knee or elbow articulation. For the most part, just a wooden soldier.

        That said, some of the figures do look good, just don’t expect them to pose any more than you see them in the package.

    That constable figure looks a heck of a lot like he’s wearing an armour set from the old ‘Star Wars Galaxies’ MMO. (helmet in particular). I don’t recall the name of the armour, but you had to quest to lok to get the schematics to craft it. It would be kinda cool if they took something from that old game into the movie.

The ending of Episode 3 could quite possibly be the best of the whole lot. Give me a prequel Obi Wan over annoying Luke and a CGI Yoda over a puppet Yoda any day. There I said it.

        The prequels also helped shape the clone wars and rebels series, which are incredibly done.

      They revealed that there will be TFA black series figures a while back. These are the 3.75″ figures that you can pick up for about $6 US. If you want a more articulated, detailed, and expensive figure, I’m sure those will be available also.

      People have also been complaining about the accessories…seriously?! Forget you’re 20-60 yrs old for a moment and imagine being 6 years old again. I know my 6 year old will love these.

    Unless Disney is controlling these leaked–as a PR professional, I can attest that is likely–then fans will be disappointed at the lack of screen time Luke Skywalker is going to get in this movie. All Luke toys seem to be OT. The same with Lea. Solo is gonna be featured in the film more than all of them, but the whole point of telling a story after OT in my eyes is to see just who Luke actually becomes. The idea they will largely leave him out of Episode 7 is a unmitigated disaster, and a disgrace.

And then said, I like Sand People so since we are not on tatooine lets change the color scheme call them Unkar’s thugs.

      I disagree. They are playing characters in somebody elses story and property. This isn’t their personal image. Its a costume and a part they are playing. Its not like athletes where they get paid for likeness or sell themselves. This is very different. When they sign that contract to play a part, that part is a character owned by whoever owns the story. It isn’t them anymore as that toy. Its not their image, its the characters image.

      MSW leaked a screen before SDCC, showing Hux and Phasma looking at or discussing a datafile on Finn.

      So after Kylo Ren interrogates Poe Dameron, and finds out that he needs the lightsaber in BB-8 (or whatever it is that BB-8 is carrying), he’s only interested in finding the droid. Finn makes a mutually beneficial arrangement to break Poe out in return for Finn’s escape from the First Order. Kylo Ren doesn’t really care about Finn… but the First Order do.

      I’m quite certain that Phasma has been tasked with tracking down Finn, and bringing him to ‘justice.’ (I imagine that deserters are sentenced to death).

    So BB-8 is officially Poe’s astromech droid (from the black series description).

      As expected…
      So the rumours about Poe Dameron hiding a “message” (lightsaber) in BB-8, and BB-8 escaping into the desert, to eventually be found by Rey, is basically confirmed now.

    All these ‘new’ vehicle designs are ugly, even the command shuttle. Maybe they’ll give this McQuarrie thing a rest in Ep. 8. Say what you want about the prequels, but they had better designs.

      Agree about the designs (I STILL am not digging the TKs or the new, “puht moar gunz on it!” white-winged TIEs at all, and the decision to stick a rectangular dish on the Falcon, a design built ENTIRELY around circles, looks totally ungainly) although I’m not sure you can lay these new ugly, boxy designs on McQuarrie. The new X-Wings show some influence from his SW paintings, but that’s about it.

      disagree. McQuarrie’s designs are brilliant. Chang’s prequels were too meh and forgettable.

    Aside from the weirdness of the age warning appearing in larger, more prominent text above the character name, the packaging looks pretty good. But no big three in the first wave of anything? That’s just…odd.

    Has anyone noticed that Bb-8s description says he belongs to Poe Dameron?

    Have I missed something?

      BB-8 has always belonged to Poe Dameron.
      Rumours have been telling us this for a long time.

      SPOILERS

      Poe Dameron is on Jakku to obtain the lightsaber which has been discovered there (contrary to what MSW believes, I’m sure the discovery will be mentioned off-screen in the opening crawl). First Order turns up, also after the lightsaber. Poe Dameron hides lightsaber in BB-8, send BB-8 off into the desert. Kylo Ren shows up and starts cutting people down. Poe Dameron get’s captured and taken back to the Star Destroyer.

      Kylo Ren is more interested in finding BB-8. I don’t think he’s really too concerned with hunting down deserters (that’s Phasma’s job). It’s only when they learn that Finn is with BB-8 that they can kill 2 birds with one stone.

      Basically, the whole opening scene mirrors that of A New Hope. Just replace Tantive IV with village on Jakku, Leia with Poe, R2-D2 with BB-8, death star plans with lightsaber, and Darth Vader with Kylo Ren. It will probably even start with a shot of a Star Destroyer bearing down on the planet.

    Kinda cool, but does not really tell us anything new about anything. I was hoping to see Rey’s or Finn’s last name. I think Disney / Lucas film leaked these on purpose. After all you never release something before advertising it.

    Lets hope the children that these toys are intended for don’t give a crap and just want to play with their star wars action figures out in the back garden making blaster and lightsaber noises 🙂

    How funny would it be if all of these photos and rumors were all to throw us off. Watch the movie be nothing like this.

      Watch the movie be like nothing you imagined, and I’m not talking in a good way.

    Look at Ren’s lightsaber in the 6 inch. The cross guard debate is over — all three blades connect. I’m surprised this news isn’t blowing up all over the place.

    These new figures are surprisingly cheap and simplistic looking. They look like they’re using the sculpt talents responsible the ’80’s action figures. Is that deliberate? Considering how good the figures have gotten over the last decade in terms of detail and articulation, what’s the story on this? Anyone?
