Rey (Dark Side Vision) — Star Wars The Black Series #TROS 01

Overview

Rey in her Dark Side Vision configuration at #TROS 01 is one of the most specifically-chosen figure slots in any Phase 4 collection. This is not the Rey of Jakku, not the Rey of Ahch-To, not the triumphant Jedi of the film’s conclusion. This is the Rey that never happened — the Force vision of what she could become if she chose differently, the dark side Rey in black robes wielding a double-bladed red lightsaber with a folding design unlike anything else in the franchise. It is simultaneously a movie-accurate figure and a figure of something the movie goes out of its way to not make real.

4 accessories including the double-bladed red lightsaber. 17 joints. $19.99. 2020. The only figure in the P4-TROS Collection.

The Dark Side Vision in TROS

The Force vision sequence in The Rise of Skywalker is the film’s most visually distinctive moment and one of the sequel trilogy’s most discussed individual scenes. Rey, exploring her connection to the dark side through Palpatine’s influence and her own fear about her heritage, confronts a version of herself in Sith robes — the Palpatine granddaughter who embraced her lineage rather than rejecting it. The vision-Rey wields a double-bladed red lightsaber with a folding hinge mechanism: two blades that extend from each end, collapsible at the centre, a weapon design that no canonical Sith or dark side user before her employed.

The vision is disturbing precisely because it’s convincing. The dark side Rey doesn’t look like a monster; she looks like Rey, in black, having made a different choice. The specific horror of Force visions in Star Wars is that they show you a plausible path rather than an impossible one.

The Double-Bladed Red Lightsaber

The dark side vision lightsaber is the figure’s defining accessory and the feature that makes this configuration irreplaceable in the Black Series. The folding double-bladed red lightsaber — the crossguard-adjacent design with the central hinge that allows the weapon to collapse for carrying — is unlike any lightsaber configuration previously produced in the Phase 4 range. It is visually striking, it is specifically TROS, and it communicates the dark side vision’s aesthetic immediately.

The four accessories on this $19.99 figure reflect the lightsaber’s multi-component construction — the hilt assembly and the blade components that make up the full double-bladed configuration. All four components should be verified on secondary market purchases; the blade pieces are the most likely to be separated from loose figures.

Rey’s Black Robes and What They Communicate

The hooded black robes of the dark side vision are the costume choice that makes this figure visually distinct from every other Rey in the Black Series catalogue. The standard Rey configurations — Jakku scavenger outfit, Ahch-To island wear, TROS desert outfit — are all variations on the practical, layered clothing of someone who grew up salvaging in harsh conditions. The vision-Rey’s black robes are the opposite of practical: they are ceremonial, they are deliberate, they are the aesthetic choice of someone who has chosen an identity rather than survived into one.

Displaying the dark side vision Rey alongside the standard TROS or other sequel trilogy Rey configurations creates the specific contrast the vision is designed to communicate: the Rey who didn’t choose this, standing beside the version of herself who did. That display is one of the most thematically interesting in the Phase 4 sequel trilogy range.

A Solo Collection

The P4-TROS Collection is currently a single-figure collection — Rey Dark Side Vision at #TROS 01 stands alone without companion figures from the same numbered sequence. This reflects the specific decision to cover this TROS configuration as a standalone release rather than building a broader TROS Collection wave at this time. The Phase 4 system covers TROS characters through other pathways — Kylo Ren appears in multiple configurations across the line, Finn and Poe through Red Line and Galaxy Collection releases — but the TROS-specific numbered collection has produced only this figure at current writing.

That makes #TROS 01 uniquely self-contained. The figure is complete as a single purchase. It doesn’t need companion figures from the same collection to make sense as a display. The dark side vision Rey stands alone just as the vision itself stood apart from the main narrative — a single, specific, visually arresting moment that the figure captures without requiring context figures to communicate it.

Photo Real Daisy Ridley Portrait in Dark Side Configuration

The Photo Real Daisy Ridley portrait in the dark side vision context presents a specific production challenge: capturing the specific quality of a performer playing a version of their character that operates differently. The vision-Rey’s expression — the cold command presence of someone who has fully embraced power — is different from the warmer, more uncertain quality of the standard Rey configurations. The Phase 4 2020 production standard at the portrait level captures that distinction well.

The combination of the dark portrait expression, the black hood framing the face, and the red lightsaber in hand creates a display that communicates the vision’s specific emotional register without requiring any additional context. You understand immediately that this is not the Rey who chose the light.

Where TROS Fits in the Sequel Trilogy Collector Landscape

The sequel trilogy’s Phase 4 representation is distributed across multiple collection sequences — the TFA Collection has its own numbered figures, the TLJ Collection has its own numbered figures, and the TROS Collection currently has this single entry. For collectors building the complete sequel trilogy display across Phase 4, the TROS Collection’s contribution is specifically this vision figure: the one TROS configuration that doesn’t duplicate any TFA or TLJ figure and that communicates something uniquely TROS about the character’s arc.

We think that’s actually the right production decision. The dark side vision Rey is the configuration most specific to TROS. It doesn’t exist anywhere else in the trilogy, in any scene, in any other film. It is TROS’s unique contribution to the Rey visual catalogue, and it’s the figure that Phase 4’s TROS slot correctly prioritised.

The Rey Catalogue at Phase 4

Rey has been produced across multiple Black Series configurations spanning the Phase 3 and Phase 4 eras. The dark side vision at #TROS 01 is the most visually distinctive of those configurations — the only Rey with red blades, the only Rey in black robes, the only Rey who looks like a completed Sith rather than a Jedi in training. For collectors who want every major Rey configuration, this is the non-negotiable entry: you can have ten versions of Rey in her various light-side outfits, but you can only have one dark side vision Rey. There is only this one.

Display Recommendations

The dark side vision Rey works well as a standalone display — the black robes and red lightsaber are visually self-sufficient, and the figure doesn’t need companion pieces to read correctly. For thematic depth, display alongside any standard Rey configuration (the Jakku Rey from the TFA Collection is the most visually contrasted option) to create the light-vs-dark comparison the vision implies.

For the TROS-specific display, the black-robed Rey in red-lit display case context communicates the vision sequence’s atmosphere without any additional figures. The figure is its own complete display argument.

Secondary Market

Above-retail secondary market prices. All four accessories must be present — the double-bladed red lightsaber components are the specific items to verify. No production variants documented.

Our Verdict

Rey Dark Side Vision at #TROS 01 is the Phase 4 TROS Collection’s defining figure precisely because it’s the only one — and because it’s the right one. The double-bladed red folding lightsaber, the black robes, the portrait of a version of Rey that the story chose not to make real: this is a figure that communicates something specific and important about the sequel trilogy’s engagement with its protagonist. The dark side path that Rey rejected is only meaningful if you can see what it would have looked like. This figure shows you. Buy it.
