What if I don’t have any TFA toys? What then? Can I use my TPM action figures that are still in their packages? Meesa Love you!
Indeed. All my TFA figures are still in the packaging, so I’d just as well take a photo of toys on the shop shelves because it’d look the same. Not much point removing them from the packaging anyway because it’s not like they articulate or anything.
Actually I did remove my X-wing and Tie fighter from the boxes… I mean, otherwise I might as well have just bought empty boxes.
TPM Toys For The Win.
“And look at this Qui-Gin sucker! And he didn’t even eat the sucker!”
We’re 4 months past the movie premiere and I have yet to see a Rey action figure on the shelf. (I’m not counting the one with her face covered.)
And I’m still waiting for the 12 inch Rey doll. The prequels did a much better job with the toys methinks.
Maybe she’s wearing a mask, and Episode 8 will be the big reveal 🙂
Word!
Can’t find ANYTHING. I live in the 5th largest metro area in the US FFS!
When they appear, they all get bought up. It’s unfortunate.
Love to when that pack. Here are some of mine.
TR8R!!!!
Some more but you can find me on IG.
Have you seen the pictures that a guy did with Star Wars clone troopers? The guy posed them in different scenes. They were amazing!
He’s good but those are 1/6th scale side-show figures. Much larger. I see a lot of people posting hasbrotoypic hashtags with non-hasbro toys and I think it is a bit disgenuine. When I see things trending, I like to see just only Hasbro stuff just to be germane.
Here it is.

Does my avatar of Aurra Sing having her leg h__ped by a bulldog count? (Maybe my Obi-wan on a Unicorn?)
PS: No toy / dept. store I’ve been in actually HAS figures in any meaningful quantities. All I see is crap like Sarco Plank + Constable Zuvio. NO THANKS!
Sarco Plank is cool. I go out o my way to take picts of the background character to differentiate from all the same CaptainPhasma/KyloRens picts out there. Plus, he is the only Bounty Hunter/Scavenger to fight off Luke Skywalker to live about it. As for Zuvio, I’m waiting till he hits $3.99 on Amazon.
A little spin on the ending fight, I just wanted to reintegrate the Snow speeder into the finale somehow.
Does this count or is this too far off into Episode 8 rumors. Resistance Rey w/ Luke’s helment in a POTF A-Wing
