The 2017 Star Wars The Black Series Rose Tico (#55) captures one of the most grounded and human characters introduced in The Last Jedi. As a Resistance maintenance technician thrust into the chaos of war, Rose represents the everyday individuals who keep the movement alive — engineers, mechanics, and support crews who rarely see the spotlight. This figure reflects that identity with a sculpt rooted in practicality, texture, and character detail.
Released as part of Wave 14, Rose arrived alongside Supreme Leader Snoke, Jaina Solo, and the Elite Praetorian Guard variants. While some figures in the wave emphasized spectacle or combat, Rose’s release focused on authenticity and narrative importance. Her sculpt, jumpsuit detailing, and expressive portrait work together to create a figure that feels grounded, lived-in, and emotionally resonant.
This figure represents Rose in her Resistance Tech jumpsuit, complete with utility pockets, tool harness, and engineering gear. The sculpt captures the layered textures of her uniform, the compact practicality of her equipment, and the determined expression that defines her character arc. The accessory loadout — including the electro-shock prod and tool pouch — reinforces her role as a technician first, hero second.
Technical Details & Sculpt
