The figure itself – which cavort an splendid alikeness of Del Toro – does n’t look to differentiate fans anything more about the persona than they already know , since it features the same costume that the role player has worn in promotional pic . It come out to have one accessory – a blaster – although more weapons could perhaps make out with the public figure when it appears in packaged form .
Fans can expect to learn more , though , when they get their hands on the figure , so long was they have the Force Link machine that went on sale on Force Friday II . The electronic accessory actives a micro chip in the figure which plays some of the character ’s dialogue , as well as weapon and action sound .
Unless the film ’s long - awaited 2nd trailer drop before the physique is released , the Force Link dialogue will give fans their first listen of lines Del Toro suppose in the film . To date , the only matter really known about DJ is that he ’s a"shady character"and he playsa part of Finn and Rose ’s missionin the film .
No matter the case , the release of the DJ figure will come as exciting news to Del Toro fan , who makes his action pattern launching with this 3 3/4 - inch expiration . As of this write the exact date the physique will hit retail is yet to be announced .
Before this , the closelipped affair to a Del Toro figure came with the release of 7 - inch and 12 - column inch figures of Del Toro ’s theatrical role in the 2010 remaking of The Wolfman , but the Mezco figure manifestly barricade similitude to the creature in the film or else of the lineament of Lawrence Talbot . Now , Del Toro fans long to put a miniaturized adaptation of the actor on their shelf have a understanding to howl with delectation .
