The "Star Wars: Force Awakens" toys were revealed during Disney global love unboxing event. The toy figure of John Boyega's Finn was seen speaking in American accent.

According to IGN, the toy was seen saying different dialogues including "The name's Finn and I'm in charge now." Boyega has not been shown saying dialogues in the film's trailer. He was shown running in a desert and panting.

Boyega told Entertainment Weekly, "His character is a stormtrooper in the film. When we find Finn, he's in incredible danger. And the way he reacts to this danger changes his life, and launches him into the Star Wars universe in a very unique way."  

The toy figure of Adam Driver's Kylo Ren was also revealed among other toys.

"Star Wars: The Force Awakens" has been set 30 years after the "Return of the Jedi." The plot details of the film are unknown. JJ Abrams has directed it and talking about it he said in his recent interview that it has been shot in realistic locations.

Abrams told AP "I can't think of something that we did that doesn't look and feel more authentic that I wish we had done differently. Wherever possible, whenever possible, we tried to do things as much in camera as we could."

Openning on Dec. 18, "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" will also see Harrison Ford reprise his role of Han Solo and Carrie Fisher as Princess Leia. The other star cast consists of Andy Serkis, Domhnall Gleeson, and Max von Sydow, with Mark Hamill, Anthony Daniels, Peter Mayhew, and Kenny Bake.
