It's an instant buy from me because it may be the only 1/6 scale Ahsoka we ever get... unless the rumors are true of her appearing in Mando season 2, and then HT will no doubt do a figure of that one too. I would have really preferred her more iconic season 4 outfit though since that's what she wore thru the majority of the Clone Wars series.
Also notice the tease of Clone Wars Season 7 Darth Maul in these photos. |

That Maul shown in the picture differs from the Solo one up for preorder. Folks who collect HT should keep that in mind.

This looks great, really tempted. The seamless arms look great but I worry about their longevity. And with a possible Ashoka appearance in Mandalorian, wondering if that's a version I'd want more. Decisions decisions, man this is tempting.

I love how Hot Toys stuff looks but their use of innovative techniques and materials worries me about the longevity. The arms and the material for the upper half of the costume worry me for Asoka.
I hope that my Indiana Jones lasts as long as I do since it my favorite piece and the one thing I can still see displaying even in retirement. I noticed that his ankles are getting weak but everything else seems fine. I also really enjoy my Arkham Knight Batman, but I wonder if the rubber bodysuit will deteriorate. The Joker is probably good for many years as long as good plastic was used for the body. |

Definitely getting both of these, just trying to figure out how many clones to get lol, at least 2. I still want some movie white Ph1 and Ph2 clones in the future. Glad they're loaded with weapons.

I appreciate that Hot Toys is including all 3 helmet options with their 501st trooper too.

Doesn't the head appear a little too big for the body?

Ahsoka's season three outfit would've been a must buy; even if Hot Toys' prices have become prohibitively high.

In time some Chinese sellers might have a S3 suit on Aliexpress or something. I've seen it with other figures. On an unrelated note, anyone know if Ahsoka qualifies for free shipping? So far Sideshow is looking like the cheapest option (that is trustworthy). BBTS is $15 more expensive out of the gate +$4 shipping at least. Sideshow is confusing, but MAYBE it's free shipping on Ahsoka??? |

She's 15-16 in season three and 17 in season seven. I suspect they went with her season seven look simply because it's her newest TCW look.
Definitely pre-ordering it the moment it's up on one of the Australian etailers

Just order from Sideshow. They are the distributor of Hot Toys for the US and the EU. Honestly almost every other retailer is sold out of her already, so Sideshow is pretty much your only option anyway lol.

If Rosario Dawson is expected to play a live action version of Ahsoka on the Mandalorian TV show, it's a good bet that we'll see a middle-aged adult version of the character that resembles the actress, but heaven only knows what the TV costume will look like or how long we'll have to wait for her Hot Toys figure. Given that she's a fan favorite, the cynic in me expects her first on-screen appearance to be delayed as much as possible, likely near the end of the upcoming season, so the figure will probably be likewise delayed, maybe until 2022 or even later, especially if economic disruption continues.
This figure seems like a very good young-version tribute to the CG animated character. I want it because I want to remember her good character development and her exploits in CW and Rebels, regardless of how she turns out in Mandalorian. (Sure hope it works out better than the OT character appearances in the Abrams trilogy.) |
