1/6 Hot Toys -TMS118 - Ahsoka series : Ahsoka the White

[Buttmunch]

Round or curved ones do take up less space. I still like the classic black oval stands as they can be interlinked when you want figures standing close to each other in a group.

What I don't like about the tall round Ahsoka one is that it's designed more for promoting a single figure, rather than group display. She's going to stand higher as well as stand out from her companions on their uniformly rectangular stands.

I guess it was her show so if any character should get the stand out base, it should probably be the title character. I too would prefer uniformity but I’ll take a good diorama base any day. This is like a half hearted attempt at a dio base with it mostly just upsetting the uniformity of the other figure stands.

Not for USB lightsabers, but I think her new neutral sculpt will be a hot commodity for updating the Mando version.

Yeah I was just surprised to see it since the original ones didn't light up in any way at all. The new sculpt(s) and costume are definitely the selling points here. And I am curious about this 'wider range of articulations'.

Loses the likeness there and I don't recall her ever making a face that extreme but maybe I missed it.

They were going for this expression. I don't think it's quite there but it's a great and welcome optional face for action poses for sure.

When the Ahsoka series was announced, I knew to not bother getting the Mando S2 version. Glad I held out. As this one looks infinitely better. The face and lekku, the white outfit, and the light up sabers are all perfect.

I didn't catch the "all new joint designs" part of that articulation description. New designs? Now that's interesting.

As for the angry battle face, I'm not sure they quite captured her likeness that well. Also as that pic is from her battling Marrok she's still in her Mando outfit (not that it matters). She probably made a similar face when fighting Morgan at the end.

Gotta love HT's lack of shame in highlighting how quickly their old figures become outdated.
'Remember that ollld Ahsoka figure- the one that only released a few months ago as part of the DX line, which supposedly represents the pinnacle of our products?
Well, now here's a standard release of the same character that ***** all over that!'

DX is officially meaningless.

But that one had a lantern that didn't light up lol...

One head, two faces but still valid point.

Ahh, and gave you a reused tree stump instead of a nice stand if you opted for the deluxe package.

The pinnacle of HT offerings, indeed.

The exact midpoint between the DX20 ($285) and the DX21 with Grogu ($315). Not bad given the improvements.

Lovely looking figure but an easy pass for me. As someone who liked Ahsoka a lot in both the Clone Wars, Rebels, Mando and BoBF I was VERY disappointed in the Ahoska series to the point of not wanting any figures from the line. Following yet another disappointing Disney Star Wars project makes me feel like parting with the few Disney era Hot Toys figures I have and going OT only (small number of prequel figures maybe). Just wish we could get more OT figures made with the quality of this Ahsoka made by Hot Toys.

Pre-ordered mine at Underground. Keep the Ahsoka figures coming. With Ahsoka, Sabine, Thrawn, and Hera announced. I hope that Baylan and Shin are next. I'd be down for Storm Troopers and Enoch too.

Looks good. Got excited when I thought the second face would be a smiling one. Guess they are going to save that for the Super DX Ultra Instinct Power Up Premium Limited Edition release.

Same here. Wasn't a fan of the first sculpt either. The white outfit really grew on me and now I actually prefer it over the black one. For me it looks aesthetically better and fits better to the white and blue on her lekku. Also love the samurai-ish arm and shin guards.

 

[meanstreak]

she looks good... now give us Clone Wars Anakin

 

[Blackout]

Huge improvements! Great job Hot Toys on the upgrade from the first release.

I'm a little disappointed that between the two faces, neither of them are a happy/pleasant face, considering the whole transformation of "Ahsoka the White" was to allow her to stop feeling burdened/guilty and start enjoying life again. That's the point in the series when she started to lighten up, and so I would have hoped for the figure to reflect that characterization. A slight smile on the neutral face would have been appreciated.

Once again, still didn't finish the show but this looks pretty good and seems like they updated the sculpt over the previous DX Ahsoka. Disclaimer: it's either they did a good job updating or just the fact she's wearing white. (I love the color white and when characters wear such I kind of just accept.......)

 

[Pose Mastery]

It’s perfect!! Day one PO!

Psst… they want you to put the angry head sculpt on the Grey one for the Baylan battle on Seatos
