UPDATE! LEGO Star Wars: Rey Minifig Leaked?
Are you a bit impatient to see the newest Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens toys tomorrow at SDCC? Well, join the club. But! It appears as though a minifigure of Rey has leaked out, as if to whet our collective appetites.

The costume and the headpieces both look pretty good. However, I’m just a tad unsure if this is the real figurine or not, since her face looks a lot like LEGO Leia’s minifig (and I don’t mean mere resemblance – I think that looks identical to Leia’s face)… though that might just be me seeing things that aren’t there. On the bright side, we’ll be able to see if this is real or not over the course of the weekend.
While I don’t know when LEGO is going to unveil their next Star Wars sets at the event, Hasbro unveils a bunch of their Star Wars toys tomorrow at 1:30 PM (California time). Following that, the panel for Star Wars: The Force Awakens hits at 5:30 PM. We’ll be sure to report on both of those things and other SDCC announcements as they come along.
UPDATE!
And some more. Captain Phasma and a Snowtrooper:
Grant has been a fan of Star Wars for as long as he can remember, having seen every movie on the big screen. When he’s not hard at work with his college studies, he keeps himself busy by reporting on all kinds of Star Wars news for SWNN and general movie news on the sister site, Movie News Net. He served as a frequent commentator on SWNN’s The Resistance Broadcast.
Looks legit to me. The headgear doesn’t look custom-made. I’ve seen hundreds of custom minifigs, and while the prints can be quite good, the accessories are never this on-point.
As a nutty Lego fan, I can say that that definitely isn’t Leia’s face. The eyebrows are more arched and the mouth is quirked a bit more.
All right, I’m gonna get some air
This could be real. Nobody can do that good painting and the headgear.. Also it really looks like Leia’s face, but it isn’t
I was gonna say it was Padme in Tatooine garb from Episode 1
I don’t care about lego but she looks cute
Amen. She’s a real cutie.
Fake
Isn’t Lego announcing new Star Wars sets on Saturday?
I don’t know about when LEGO are unveiling their stuff, just the things about Hasbro and Lucasfilm. But we’ll be sure to cover them once they are officially unveiled.
Yes, Sat 11am PST
That’s not Leia’s face. 100% sure.
This is the real figure – the photo was shared by somebody who already owns several of the TFA figures, including a TIE Fighter pilot and a snowtrooper – Captain Phasma is being sold on eBay, as we speak, by somebody who has probably taken it from the factory, too.
Am i the only one who assumed by the headline that Rey’s last name was leaked and it’s Minifig? …. Anyone? :p
Here is one with TIE pilot and Snowtrooper http://www.flickeringmyth.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/LEGO-Star-Wars-The-Force-Awakens-2.png
Only thing that is a disappointment is no blonde Gwendolyn Christie under the mask.
…yeah I thought it was Rey Minifig too,ha! – seriously cannot wait to see the new black series 6″ figures from TFA.
So I am curious about the black face under Phasma’s helmet… is this a place holder head for the minifigure? Is Phasma a giant blind Jawa? Lord of the Nazgul?
They do that for characters whose face we never see.
My son has a lot of the Rebels Lego sets and the stormtroopers all have faces under the helmets, so while I agree that you are probably right regarding Phasma, this is not always true.
Must be something new. They used to use blanks for troopers, Fett, etc.

See what you did there haha
I would like to point out, just for the sake of argument, that fake Legos ARE a thing.

I googled it and apparently there is also such a thing as Custom Legos, like legitimate with mail-order,
all considered, it is by no means a stretch to say that this minifigure is NOT official.
PS, I always felt that lego did a horrible job depicting females. The little mute-colored shapes around the mid-drift ain’t fooling anyone.
PPS, I love that garden table, the floral design is nice
Looking at Chrometrooper, that looks legit, I have to say I was always a little shaky on the 1st Order ST design, but seeing it in Lego form it works, this lego and it’s movie-counterpart are all right.
I suspect all three of these are legit official stuff, however the mismatching on the lines is odd. Anyone else see it?
Right around the torso-waist seam the design just doesn’t line up quite right. :/ it just looks *off*.
That’s very common for minifigs with leg designs for them to not line up perfect. I think the Chrometrooper is fake though. It’s got the black line on the neck piece where the head attaches, and that hasn’t been present on the minifigs of the past few years. That indicates that it may be an older torso that was customized.
Even in Lego form, Daisy Ridley is beautiful and sexy!!!
whoa!!
Phasma? Where’s da cloak??
Yeah, these are all legit and real, definitely. Can’t wait for them to be officially revealed!
I think Phasma is fake Ive seen that figure more than a month ago. The other two are legit Im sure
Hm
The snowtrooper looks the best to me,I don’t really like phasma.
