I get that it’s Ahsoka’s show but she was the wrong choice for this set. Sabine wears more armor and would’ve looked better carbonized. Plus, this is the fifth time we will have gotten this Ashoka figure (Mando single, Mando 2 pack, credit collection, Ahsoka single, carbonized).

Her clothes. It’s easier to see on the armor pieces on her forearms and shins. But if you look at her clothes, they’re shinier than normal. It doesn’t look very good when the clothes are so dark. The carbonized Vader and Tie Pilot changed their overall color to blue and the carbonized look is easier to see on them.

I think it’s a mix of store exclusive and lower production run. Regular Black Series figures cost $25 while store exclusives cost $28. I haven’t seen any numbers but I doubt carbonized figures get huge productions runs when compared to regular deco figures.
