There were two sets at the store where I picked this up, and I assure you, this one was the better of the two. The big issue with my figure is the eyes, which aren’t lined up properly. Rose’s paint is decent, though not without its flaws. I’m not saying I mind Rose getting what I feel is the superior implementation of the design, but I do really wish Hasbro would fully commit one way or the other. Given that they’re supposed to be in a variation of the same uniform, it’s the slightest bit annoying. Hux had his sculpted as part of his legs, but Rose gets an overlay piece. Also, minor point of contention that I suppose isn’t 100% fair to hold against this figure but I’m gonna bring up here anyway: Hasbro’s still being inconsistent about the way they handled the bottom sections of the tunics. I also don’t find the head to be sporting quite as strong a likeness as the prior figure, though it’s not like this one’s terrible. The uniform’s carefully pressed and everything, so there’s no real room for the fun texturing of the last figure. It’s a decent sculpt, though I can’t say it’s quite as interesting to look at as her standard figure. Not surprising, since she’s got a whole different look. This figure stands 3 1/2 inches tall and has the usual 5 points of articulation. It’s kind of amusing to get her in this scale, since the corresponding Finn was a 6-inch figure, but not to worry, there’s going to be a Finn to match soon enough. Rose is, of course, seen here in the First Order uniform that she wears alongside Finn when infiltrating the Supremacy. Our second standard line version of Rose follows the Star Wars tradition of giving us variants of our heroes disguised as the enemy. Hasbro presumably realized how silly it would look to try and sell a normal figure and a BB unit for the same price as two normal figures, so they did the wise thing and threw in a second BB. For those of you who have halfway decent counting skills, you may have noticed there are three figures in this supposed two-pack. Rose, BB-8, and BB-9E were part of the second assortment of “two-packs” for the Last Jedi line. (EDIT: strike that, there’s the four pack that’s hitting alongside the home video release. This means, that, without any real fan faire, the set I’m looking at today, is the final piece of Last Jedi product to hit retail. ROSE – FIRST ORDER DISGUISE, BB-8, & BB-9EĪ couple weeks back, it was announced that the remaining announced but unreleased figures from Hasbro’s basic Last Jedi line were being distributed solely by online retailers Entertainment Earth (at least in North America, anyway the rest of the world may yet see them show up at regular retail).
