I recently brought the Disney Elite Premium Vader and Leia after seeing Leia at a a mates and being favourably impressed by the price/quality ratio, but it still left me wanting something more accurate.
So after some research online, I settled on Hot Toys Rey and BB8, which arrived Friday. And it's the most fun I've had with a toy in a long time. She really looks like she's stepped right out of the film, and the accessories and attention to detail are amazing. 12 different hands, BB-8 with LED lights, blaster/staff/lightsabre with removable blade, and extra costume bits to make her scavenger look. The ankle articulation is pretty well non-existent though, and I'm not sure BB8 was worth the extra, but overall she's great.
Grandad...?
And after all that, I'm wondering who to get next. ANH Leia is on the shortlist as an upgrade from the Disney one and perhaps Vader (apparently Rogue One Vader is the one to get but seems to be be sold out everywhere), while Han and Luke both look a little off. As for Chewie, R2 and 3PO, what are the choices?
