Rey (Island Journey) — Star Wars The Black Series #58

Overview

Red Line #58 is Rey (Island Journey) — the third Black Series Rey and a specific TLJ Ahch-To configuration that is distinct from the Jedi Training (#44) earlier in the sequence. Where #44 covers the early island training sequences, this Island Journey version covers Rey’s later time on Ahch-To — the updated costume and the specific accessories reflect the character after her interactions with Luke and her Force-bond sessions with Kylo Ren have changed what she’s carrying and how she’s wearing it.

The articulation scheme on this figure differs slightly from the standard Red Line arrangement: swivel joints above the elbows supplement the elbow joints rather than ball-jointed elbows alone, providing a specific fore-aft rotation that enables dynamic lightsaber poses the standard scheme doesn’t achieve as cleanly. Blue lightsaber accessory. No production variants documented. MSRP $19.99.

The Configuration Distinction from #44

The two TLJ Ahch-To Rey figures are close enough in appearance that collectors sometimes ask which to choose. The key differences:

Jedi Training (#44): Earlier island sequences, arm wound detail (the “No Wound On Arm” variant issue), the specific training-era costume configuration. Island Journey (#58): Later island sequences, updated costume elements, different accessory setup, the swivel-above-elbow articulation improvement.

For display purposes, the Island Journey version’s articulation advantage and the distinct later-island configuration make it the preferred single-figure TLJ Rey for dynamic lightsaber poses. For chronological display accuracy, both figures cover different points in the same island arc.

Rey’s Evolving Understanding on Ahch-To

Rey’s TLJ island arc has a specific emotional trajectory: she arrives hoping Luke Skywalker will be what the myth says, discovers he’s a man who has given up, decides that the answer she needs is elsewhere, and finds it in Kylo Ren — not because Kylo is right but because the Force-bond between them gives her a connection she hasn’t had before. The Island Journey configuration captures her at the later stage of this arc: the disappointed-and-deciding Rey rather than the hoping-and-training Rey of the earlier island sequences.

The blue lightsaber — Anakin’s weapon, the one Luke discarded — is what she carries throughout. Her relationship to the weapon at this stage is not the automatic reverence the Jedi tradition would prescribe but a more pragmatic “this is the most powerful tool available.” The Force called her to it; she uses it.

Accessories

Blue lightsaber with removable blade. The swivel-above-elbow articulation enables the extended-arms lightsaber stances that are the figure’s primary dynamic display advantage over the standard Red Line elbow scheme.

The Ten Rey Releases

Ten total Black Series Rey releases. For the specific TLJ island configuration sequence: Jedi Training (#44) for the early island arc; this Island Journey (#58) for the later arc. The progression across the ten releases traces Rey’s complete trilogy journey from Jakku scavenger to Jedi by choice.

Secondary Market

Available at modest secondary market prices. No production variants documented.

Verdict

Buy for the TLJ later-island configuration, the improved elbow articulation for dynamic lightsaber poses, or Red Line sequence completion. The Island Journey version is the preferred single-figure TLJ Rey for active display stances — the swivel-above-elbow scheme directly enables the extended two-handed lightsaber poses that make a Rey display read as active rather than static.

The Three TLJ Ahch-To Rey Figures

There are actually three Rey configurations associated with Ahch-To across different releases — Jedi Training #44 (earlier island, training gear), Island Journey #58 (later island, updated configuration), and elements of the Rey & D-O 2019 release. For collectors who want a single definitive TLJ Rey, Island Journey #58 is the recommended choice: the updated articulation scheme, the later-arc configuration, and the absence of the Jedi Training arm wound ambiguity all favour it over #44 for a single-display option.

For collectors who want to show Rey’s arc across TLJ specifically, both #44 and #58 together tell the island arc’s two stages: the hopeful trainee and the woman who has decided to go find out for herself. The lightsaber is the same object in both; the context around it is completely different.

Rey’s Combat Style Evolution

The swivel-above-elbow joints in this Island Journey configuration enable a specific extended-arms stance that the standard ball-elbow scheme doesn’t achieve as cleanly — the outward rotation that puts both hands forward on a two-handed blade grip. This is the stance visible in Rey’s TLJ combat training sequences and the throne room fight, and it’s the primary reason the Island Journey articulation scheme is a meaningful improvement for dynamic display over the Jedi Training version’s standard configuration.

The Island Journey Rey at #58 also functions as the transitional figure between the TLJ sequence (#44-#57) and what comes next. She is Rey at the point of decision — about to leave Ahch-To, about to go to the Supremacy, about to make the choice that will define the rest of the trilogy. Display her facing slightly forward and away from the island figures and slightly toward the TLJ action sequence figures that follow, and the posture itself becomes the story: the Ahch-To chapter is behind her; the rest of it is ahead.

The blue lightsaber accessory connects Island Journey Rey to the entire Anakin-to-Luke-to-Rey inheritance chain. At this point in TLJ, she is carrying a weapon that has passed through multiple generations, that Luke threw aside when she offered it to him, that is simultaneously ancient and immediate. The blade is the same object that appears in Maz’s chest box (#49), in Rey’s training (#44), and here in her hands as she decides to leave the island and act.

No production variants documented for the Island Journey Rey. Secondary market prices are modest. The figure is widely available at or near original retail on the secondary market, making it an accessible entry point for TLJ collectors.
