I tore into this wave late last night before falling into a stupor. There were some surprises to me. You think you know what it going to appeal to you but sometimes in hand your opinions change.
Finn is very well done, good sculpt, good paint apps, but ultimately it is a pretty boring figure. Next to Chewie he seemed to draw the least interest last night. I shudder to think about them carrying this guy forward into later waves. The Stormtrooper would be a much better choice.
Chewie is about as expected. Was more exciting the first time around.
Kylo Ren is nice, paint apps around the visor seem to vary, but mine is ok. Unfortunately he has a wonky right foot that seems stuck downward. I'm glad in restrospect I got a couple of these so I can swap him out for a better version. The soft goods work well on mine, but he's not one of the more interesting figures to me somehow.
The FO Stormtrooper is cool, I like the design and all, and the two guns, but the plastic on certain parts of the armor feels cheap and flimsy to me. I don't know how to describe it exactly, but if you hold him in hand next to a regular Stormtrooper you will see the difference.
The unexpected star of the wave for me was Rey and BB8 though. I felt like this would be a boring figure beforehand but mine is really beautiful, I mean they dead nailed the paint apps on the face. It's a great effort. I just wish they had included her headscarf. BB-8 came out very well too, at least IMO. Yeah they could have tweaked a few things with the paint wash and whatnot, but I like the final product. Sturdier than I expected.
All in all, a very solid first wave, the next one looks even better. Hope we get back to the non-TFA figs before too too long though.
