It was only a matter of time before this happened. An image of the prototypes for five upcoming Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens 6 inch action figures was leaked online today in a Chinese Star Wars forum. Check out the image below and see what, let's be honest, we'll all be spending our money on in the not to distant future,
It appears to me that the characters we are seeing are (from left to right) Gwendoline Chritsie's still unnamed character (based on how tall the figure is, combined with rumors about her playing some sort of chrome stormtrooper commander with that kind of helmet) or a Kylo Ren figure, John Boyega's Finn (they have perfected that head sculpt), Daisy Ridley's Rey (I'm sure it will be clearer when they get a hair mold on to her), BB-8 (of course), and the mighty Chewbacca (sans robot arm, thank the maker!)
As for when we will see these figures officially, my guess would be in February at New York Toy Fair (though based on past toy fairs, nobody would be surprised if more images leaked out just before the show). Action figures (and Lego sets) have, in recent years, often become the place where fans first find out about new characters and their names (even last year, several Rebels names got leaked because they were in Lego sets that were being debuted).
