Rey (Star Wars) Custom Action Figure
Custom #:90613
Name:Rey
Custom Type:Action Figure
Toy Series:Star Wars
Creator:Darth Peter Griffin  
Date Added:June 17, 2017
Base Figure:Black Series Rey
Height:3.75 inches
Articulation:14 points
Head: Force Awakens Rey (Resistance Outfit)
Body: Black Series 3.75" Rey

I never liked the original head of the Black Series Rey figure because instead of casting it in a flesh colored plastic mold and just painting the hair, eybrows, and eyes like any other Star Wars figure, Hasbro cast it in a dark brown plastic mold and painted the face. Well, the paint chipped off the nose on mine and I've had to retouch it a few times. So I decided to buy Rey in her Resistance Outfit and swapped heads. The head fits very well and I cut the hair strands off the side of the Black Series Rey's head and glued them on the new head. I hope hasbro fixes this problem in the future and maybe have an updated version of Rey in the Vintage Collection that's coming out in 2018 and maybe this time with soft goods cloth instead of plastic and better leg articulation.

True. I used to be really into 3.75 Star Wars and marvel figures but the prices got too high.
Your average 3.75 Star Wars black series figure will be $25 and the 6 inch figures will be anywhere from $35 - $40 in Australia.
I just find the six inch figures to be better. Also, I think the hasbro's black series team need to find a way to accomodate funds for better face paint. The marvel legends figures (Gamora in particular as well as other recent figures) have such nicely painted eyes and faces, it's probably because they save so much money from reusing bodies....but still.

Great improvement! They did the same thing with the 6" rey figure, Hasbro needs to find a way to fix the faces of their figures

Thanks man. Yeah Hasbro has been slacking off recently and as the saying goes, "They don't make them like they used to". Hasbro made really good figures with good articulation and good sculpt from 2005 to 2013 and then almost everything went down hill from there starting with those 5 POA (points of articulation) figures. Now there are some Black Series figures that are good. The Black Series Rogue One figures have shown a bit of improvement, but that Scariff trooper has the now infamous knee joints that don't bend a whole 90 degrees that most of the recent Black Series 3.75" figures have. I hope the Vintage Collection coming out in 2018 won't have those problems or won't have 5 POA figures. I also really hope hasbro fazes out of the 5 POA figure thing and continues to make the good ol' 14 POA figures.
