Jyn Erso (Jedha — SDCC 2016) — Star Wars The Black Series
The Black Series Jyn Erso (Jedha) — SDCC 2016 exclusive. $24.99. The very first Rogue One figure ever — revealed by Felicity Jones at Star Wars Celebration Europe 2016. 20 joints. 8 accessories: removable scarf, blaster (holster), removable plastic vest, 4 photo collector cards + tray. Correctly shorter than standard 6-inch (Felicity Jones 5'3 inch). Well painted, boots need weathering. Later released without cards as id=4808.
Overview
Jyn Erso (Jedha) is a San Diego Comic Con 2016 exclusive at $24.99, with a limited run subsequently through HasbroToyShop.com. Its historical significance is direct: this was the very first 6” Black Series figure based on Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, and one of the first Rogue One figures of any scale. The figure was first revealed publicly by Felicity Jones herself — who portrayed Jyn Erso in the film — during a panel at Star Wars Celebration Europe 2016, making the reveal itself part of the figure’s story. 20 joints — ball-jointed neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists, upper body, hips, swivel thighs, swivel joints above knees, below knees, above ankles, ball-jointed ankles.
The Correct Height
Hasbro gave this Jyn Erso figure the correct height. Felicity Jones is 5’3”, and the figure is noticeably shorter than standard Black Series 6” figures — which is right. This is a detail that matters for collectors building a Rogue One team display. Jyn should be the shortest figure on the shelf among the adult characters, and she is.
The Collector Cards
The SDCC exclusive packaging includes four photo collector cards of Jyn Erso plus a display tray to hold them. The cards feature figure photography and are an exclusive-only inclusion — the standard retail release (id=4808, the same figure in regular packaging) ships without the cards. For collectors who want the complete SDCC version, the cards and tray are the primary differentiator from the regular release.
The Three Removable Pieces
Removable scarf — fits tightly over the figure’s head but is easy to take off. The scarf is Jyn’s Jedha street disguise look.
Removable plastic vest — the other removable layering piece, giving display configuration options.
Blaster — fits into the holster and holds well in both hands.
The figure was painted quite well throughout. The one note: the boots could have used some weathering or dirt. The outfit and face paint are good.
The Standard Version Comparison
The same sculpt released in regular packaging (id=4808) lacks the four collector cards, the card tray, and the SDCC presentation. The figure itself is identical. Collectors who want the SDCC version specifically for the cards and historical packaging should track this one down; collectors who just want the Jyn Erso figure at regular pricing can go for the standard release.
Secondary Market
SDCC 2016 / HasbroToyShop.com. Verify accessories: scarf, blaster, removable vest, four collector cards, and the card display tray. The cards and tray are what make this the SDCC version.
Verdict
Jyn Erso (Jedha SDCC) carries the historical weight of being the first Rogue One 6” figure, with a correctly proportioned sculpt, three removable elements, and the SDCC-exclusive collector card set. The boot paint is the only note. For Rogue One completionists or collectors who track the programme’s milestones, this is the version that marks the beginning.
