The 2017 Star Wars The Black Series Rey (Jedi Training) (#44) represents one of the most pivotal moments in Rey’s journey — her arrival on Ahch‑To and the beginning of her training under Luke Skywalker. Released as part of the Red Line’s 2017 Wave 12 assortment, this figure captures Rey’s transitional state between scavenger and Jedi, blending familiar elements of her Jakku design with the more refined, layered garments she adopts during The Last Jedi. As the central protagonist of the Sequel Trilogy, Rey’s evolution is one of the defining arcs of modern Star Wars, and this figure reflects that transformation with impressive sculpting, thoughtful accessory choices, and a grounded, realistic interpretation of her on‑screen appearance.
This release marks Rey’s second major costume update in the 6‑inch line following her Jakku and Resistance outfits. The Jedi Training version introduces a more mature silhouette, emphasizing her growing confidence and connection to the Force. The sculpt captures Daisy Ridley’s likeness with notable accuracy for the pre‑Photo Real era, and the figure’s articulation supports a wide range of expressive poses — from lightsaber stances to staff‑based defensive positions. The accessory loadout is one of the most complete in the early Sequel Trilogy waves, including her blue lightsaber, removable blade, quarterstaff, and the blaster pistol gifted to her by Han Solo in The Force Awakens.
Technical Details & Sculpt
Overall Sculpt & Proportions
Rey’s sculpt is defined by layered textures, natural proportions, and a grounded interpretation of her Ahch‑To training outfit. The figure features:
- a sleeveless tunic with layered fabric folds
- wrapped forearms with sculpted bandage texture
- a cross‑body belt with holster
- fitted pants with ribbed sections
- soft‑goods‑style sculpting on the lower tunic
The silhouette is instantly recognizable as Rey’s mid‑trilogy look — practical, mobile, and symbolic of her transition from scavenger to Jedi apprentice. The sculpted layers create depth and realism, avoiding the flatness seen in earlier Sequel Trilogy figures.
Head Sculpt
The head sculpt includes:
- a determined, focused expression
- sculpted hair pulled back into Rey’s signature triple‑bun style
- subtle cheekbone and jawline definition
- pre‑Photo Real paint that remains one of the stronger applications of the era
The likeness to Daisy Ridley is solid, with well‑placed eyebrows, clean eye deco, and natural lip color. The sculpt captures Rey’s intensity during her training sequences.
Clothing & Gear
The Ahch‑To training outfit is recreated with attention to texture and layering:
- Tunic: sculpted folds and overlapping panels
- Arm wraps: ribbed bandage texture with subtle weathering
- Belt: includes sculpted buckle, pouch, and holster
- Pants: ribbed sections and natural fabric creasing
- Boots: reinforced straps and tread detailing
The sculpt balances realism with screen accuracy, making the figure feel grounded and tactile.

Rey (Jedi Training) includes the full Phase 3 articulation suite:
- ball‑jointed head and neck
- hinged shoulders and elbows
- swivel‑hinge wrists
- torso ball joint
- ball‑jointed hips
- thigh swivels
- double‑jointed knees
- rocker ankles
The articulation supports dynamic lightsaber poses, defensive staff stances, and expressive action silhouettes. The torso joint allows for subtle lean and twist, enhancing realism in dueling or training poses.
Paint & Deco
The paintwork is clean and effective, emphasizing natural tones and subtle weathering:
- muted gray tunic with darker shading in recesses
- brown belt with metallic buckle accents
- natural skin tones with soft shading
- brown boots with darker wash
- blue lightsaber blade with translucent finish
The deco avoids oversaturation, maintaining the earthy, grounded palette of Ahch‑To.
