Star Wars has no shortage of iconic vehicles in its repertoire. And when Star Wars: The Force Awakens continued the Saga with the new stories of Rey, Finn, Poe, and BB-8, the film employed a few of those classic designs while adding a few unique offerings into the mix.
Any Star Wars collector will tell you that the ships are among the highlights, whether they be Rebel Alliance or Imperial, Republic or Federation, Resistance or First Order.
But some of the coolest vehicles are those oddball designs that are wholly unique to the pilot who owns them, such as Boba Fett's Slave I, Dash Rendar's Outrider, and the newest entry of Rey's Speeder.
The "Popsicle" land cruiser immediately stood out among the other new offerings for its unique design and became a must-have for collecting fans of the scavenging pilot.
And though LEGO and Sideshow have had their turn with the new design, now Hasbro's The Black Series gets in on the fun.
Announced earlier today by io9, Rey's Speeder hits the detailed action figure line with an impact.
Check out the gallery for photos of the newest entry in the Black Series.
It looks like a great sculpt with intricate details, and the version of Rey it comes with is loaded with the gear she sports in the beginning of the film. She's decked out in fabric and includes mask accessories.
The speeder itself has nine points of articulation and opening panels to see the inner workings of the craft.
Rey's Jakku Speeder will retail for $60 and will be available this fall, though you can catch a sneak peak this weekend if you're at Star Wars Celebration in Orlando—just check out the Hasbro booth to see it up close.

Set thirty years after the events of Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi, Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens picks up the story of a galaxy turned upside-down with the deposition of the evil Empire and the rise of the Rebel Alliance to take its place. With the cruel First Order rising to fill the void left by the Empire's destruction and the Resistance dedicated to eradicating their influence, heroes Finn and Rey will need to stop the villainous Kylo Ren and the First Order from assuming total control of the galaxy, with the help of old heroes Han Solo and Leia Organa.
The cast featured the reteaming of original Star Wars stars Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, and Mark Hamill, along with Anthony Daniels and Peter Mayhew. They were joined by newcomer Daisy Ridley, John Boyega (Attack the Block, Imperial Dreams), Adam Driver (Lincoln, Girls), and Oscar Isaac (Inside Llewyn Davis, The Bourne Legacy).
Star Wars: The Force Awakens was directed by J.J. Abrams and written by Lawrence Kasdan & J.J. Abrams and Michael Arndt. Lucasfilm president and eight-time Academy Award nominee Kathleen Kennedy and J.J. Abrams, along with his longtime producing partner Bryan Burk, are the film's producers.
