New Star Wars Figures Leak Online


As a Christmas Eve present to all of my loyal readers, I thought it be nice to let you see some of the prototypes of the new Star Wars: The Force Awakens figures that leaked online from a Chinese website.

As you can probably recognize, the one on the far right is Peter Mayhew's Chewbacca.  This one is much more detailed than the original Kenner figures, which leads me to believe that they are going to be apart of the Star Wars Black line.

The other figures, listed from left to right, are Kylo Ren (it hasn't been announced who this character is being played by officially), John Boyega's Finn (as you can see, he isn't in his Stormtrooper outfit here), Daisy Ridley's Rey, and the round droid that was the star of the trailer release, BB-8.

As I said in the previous paragraph, there hasn't been an announcement as to who will be playing Kylo Ren, but with the release of this photograph, it has lead many to speculate that it will be played by Gwendoline Christie, from the television show Game of Thrones.  Christie measures in at 6'3", and has been rumored for the part.

I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas, and even though it will be a holiday, I'll be back tomorrow giving you more news from around the Fanboy Universe!
