A Clone Wars veteran and now wandering Jedi, Ahsoka Tano forges her own path in the galaxy, righting injustices that she discovers.
It makes complete sense that a Star Wars character as popular as Ahsoka Tano is making her way throughout the many corners of the Star Wars universe. Making her debut in The Clone Wars, Ahsoka Tano quickly became a fan-favorite character in the series, and fans of The Clone Wars and the Hasbro Star Wars line couldn’t seem to get enough of her. After The Clone Wars ended, Ahsoka Tano made a surprise appearance in Star Wars: Rebels. And after that appearance, Star Wars fans knew that the possibility existed that she could add to the other stories within the practical timeframe of The Clone Wars timeline. Ahsoka Tano makes her first live-action appearance in the Disney+ series entitled The Mandalorian. Although a different actress, Rosario Dawson, portrays the beloved character, seeing the Togruta Jedi Master in real-life was a treat for everyone who adores the character. Although forever playing “catch up” in The Black Series 6-inch action figure line, Hasbro finally released Ahsoka Tano as the character appears in The Mandalorian, and it’s easily the most spectacular action figure interpretation of the character to date.
Ahsoka Tano is an all-new figure, and collectors of the 6-inch line will undoubtedly love this action figure. It’s the most significant effort Hasbro has put forth on an Ahsoka Tano 6-inch action figure. The Rebels version of Ahsoka Tano was decent for its time, but then Hasbro used the tooling to produce a new version of the character based on The Clone Wars. Hasbro opted for an animated likeness for the latter, and collectors were disappointed with the final result. Hasbro abandoned all existing tooling of Ahsoka Tano to start from a clean slate. And with a new actress portraying the character in The Mandalorian, Hasbro could no longer rely on any existing tooling because of how the character differs from one Star Wars Entertainment to the next. The head sculpt of Ahsoka Tano is breathtaking. We don’t believe that we’ve ever seen a closer likeness to a human character than what Hasbro achieved for Ahsoka Tano. It honestly resembles Rosario Dawson with orange makeup flawlessly. We’re thoroughly impressed with the level of authenticity of the likeness Hasbro captured on this actress. It’s quite a feat.
Hasbro tooled a beautiful amount of detail into the Ahsoka Tano action figure. This version of Ahsoka Tano barely resembles the previous iterations Hasbro gave us throughout the years, but that’s alright because it’s technically an all-new approach to the longtime Prequel Trilogy-era character. You know how impressed we are with the portrait, but the rest of the figure comes with beautiful sculpting and design. The midsection, the baggy pants, and the newly redesigned torso and chest have an incredible amount of detail not seen until now. The paint operations are beautiful throughout. Ahsoka Tano comes with four accessories, and they include a hilt, a white lightsaber blade, a shoto hilt, and a white shoto blade. The blades are thicker than previous releases, which is good news, and they attach to the hilts with a plug that looks like it will hold up over time with multiple reuses. The hilts connect to the figure’s beltline thanks to pins sticking out that welcome the rings of the hilts. The figure poses stunningly and looks as good with one weapon or two. Overall, we’re thoroughly impressed with what Hasbro accomplished here. They need to focus on cost because they want too much money for these things.
Status: Ahsoka Tano is an all-new figure.
