Looks like the arms might be borrowed from Jyn Erso, but not sure.
Nice looking and will be a good base for a few customs I'm sure, especially those legs that look like they could be used for Bastilla or Satele Shan!
Not diggin the split torso but it doesn't stand out as bad as it does on BSG's.

Yeah, looks like it's not even modified to fit into the overall universe.

Would be nice to know who it even is...
I'm pretty confident that Vel Sartha is being played by Denise Gough. There's an image from the trailer that looks like the character on the cardback. And she's listed in the cast on IMDB, although her character name hasn't been revealed.
What's slightly confusing is that this same actor appears elsewhere in the trailer (at 1:04)- dressed like an ISB officer. Hmmmm.

I know it's been a LONG time since we had figure reveals before the media containing the figure released....

Undercover Rebel would be my guess. Hope it doesn't turn out to be a dud character.
Maybe she is like Cassian's partner early on in the series, but she gets killed in a firefight, because her Earth gun fires normal bullets that can not penetrate a Stormtroopers armor.
Seriously though, Cassian will need someone to talk to on his missions. Unless K2SO is there from the beginning.

K-2SO is supposedly absent in the first season, from what I've heard. That's why Cassian has the red pizza box delivery droid instead. Because, reasons....

Maybe he just likes droids as much as young Lando does?
I might get this. I like what I see so far. If anything, good background character for displays.

Let’s hope she doesn’t do something better than a man or some people will lose their minds.

Not technically a reveal, but good point!
Totally! I don't know anything about said character but just based on the look of the figure I know "m going to need several! You're right we don't get enough and whenever we do I have to buy multiples to over compensate. I've already got four uses in mind for those legs, and depending on the thickness a few for the arms as well.

An in-hand shot of the cardback for R2-SHW from @galaxie1977 who picked him up from Toy Hideout. Looks like Vel Sartha has an added planet (Aldhani Missino(sp?)) to her name pill (in addition to the already seen alternate Luke & Klatooinian Raider portraits), which of course differs from the OWK Multipack cardbacks seen at SDCC.

All this AK-47 talk brought back a random memory of playing GTA San Andreas and in one old rap song Ice Cube is like A-K fourty seven assault rifle.
You guys sure it doesn't look modded even a little bit? Where are the gun buffs at?

lol so is it a new planet called Aldhani Missino or is it a reference to a Mission on Aldhani
I agree with you, they misspelt Mission
Id be very surprised if its a typo. You dont usually get stuff like that in cards.

But it does happen and mistakes do make it out into production. This is only a sticker, but...
But Aldhani is a location in Star Wars canon:
Aldhani
Aldhani was a planet located in the galaxy. During the Imperial Era, Cassian Andor joined the Aldhani rebel infiltration team for a mission to rob the Imperial base there. Aldhani was a grassy planet with alps, rolling hills, tall mountains, and sparkling rivers. Centuries prior to Imperial...
starwars.fandom.com
I think it's much more likely that they misspelt "Mission" than there being another planet called Aldhani Missino.
Also the above article references that Cassian goes on a Mission to Aldhani, hence the figure: Aldhani Mission.

That info came from this display at SDCC. AFAIK there's no other reference to Aldhani anywhere.
I was thinking that maybe it was a city or location on Aldhani, but knowing Hasbro it's likely just a typo as you suggest.
The question I have is why they felt she needed the extra designation on the name pill. Usually, that indicates more than one version of a character. Which is odd, unless she turns out to be a major character. You'd think we'd know a little bit more about her a month out, but still we know nothing and only possibly saw her briefly in the trailer.
That’s incredible! Haha
That is a nice figure. I just wish he had a less blank expression on his face.

Sometimes, the name designations are just for fun. We’ve seen Count Dooku (Sith Lord), Plo Koon (Jedi Master), Padmé Amidala (Republic Senator)… even though she was often in combat or leisure outfits not suitable for the Senate chamber.

I see the two that Booster got, not sure where the third one is???? Pretty incredible though.
Somehow this Vel Sartha figure needs something more....maybe a vest????

the 3rd one is Skw[alker] a 2nd time, once on the backside and once on the side, vertical "SKW". It took me a while to see that one, but yes 3 typos on same box
