Hot Toys 1/6 TMS123 Ahsoka Tano (Padawan)

[davejames]

I was surprised to read she didn't get the two lightsabers until S3. I just assumed that was her standard look from the beginning.

Anyway I went ahead and preordered the figure. It just looks super impressive and I couldn't pass up another great sculpt from this Ahsoka line.

 

[Ramatuelle]

Better not show this guy my Stranger Things collection…

This just makes me think of Kurt Cobain’s perfect response to an attempt to censor the cover art for Nevermind.

It’s quite telling.
Sometimes, you see darkness where others don’t because you have darkness that others don’t.

One wonders if this guy is watching TBB.

"See, I like the show but here we have a LITTLE GIRL all alone on a ship with 3-5 grown men, as a father this really troubles me even if they are her brothers. That right there is a whole 'nother squicky issue! You may not agree, but I just can't endorse it. It disturbs me. The potentialities disturb me. Now she's being held prisoner in an Imp facility, all alone and god knows who is doing what to her. There's mostly men there. OMG! I as a dad just can't agree."

"What about Luke and Leia! I as a dad saw that and I was like, NOPE."

To people like this, everything they see is P0rnhub. Jesus take all the wheels.

"What about Luke and Leia! I as a dad saw that and I was like, NOPE."

Lack of parental guidance. Mother died in childbirth and father went on a killing spree. Nobody told them incest was wrong.

 

[Ramatuelle]

Well, these siblings WERE strangers to each other. How was Luke s'posed to know? Poor Luke.

Price is great! My only worry is that sometimes the US batches are better than the first HK batches

I hadn't heard of that, but Kit doesn't get first batches.

I remember him joking that he didn't send his auntie to stand in the queue on day one, as Toys Wonderland likely did when they were actually in the business of sourcing stock for their customers.

Haha yes, I remember him saying that as well. But, I don't mean batches in the way TW means batches.

I recall, at least in the past, sometimes batches that Sideshow would get may have improvements over things that maybe have been an issue with initial HK batches. Might not happen so much now, though, since HK batches have been almost concurrent with what Sideshow gets.

 

[Ramatuelle]

I dont know, this price seems really steep to me for a pretty basic figure with a gawd-awful boring stand. Diorama base, I would be more forgiving. For forty dollars more you can get Ahsoka white?! [a figure I am still mulling over]. And that one has a beautiful base and so much detail.

Thats a lot for Kid Ahsoka.

 

[Chopper Face]

She did. When she wore this suit. One was a bit more yellow though. They've retconned her tube top look out of existence. Seems this look has replaced it. Hence the one lightsaber.

They also changed the back not to be open and removed the **** window.

South Park nailed it; Disney just made it lame.

 

[Deinonychus]

I’d feel pretty uncomfortable having this on my shelf and people seeing it - putting 2 and 2 together, can’t afford further reputational damage after the 2022 revelations involving Jocasta Nu.

 

[Asta]

Mr. Mom reaches for his smelling salts when faced with a 1/6 figure representing a child character.

Yet gives a free pass to a 1/6 mass murderer of children...

 

[davejames]

Eh I think they made the right call there. The open back and **** window might have worked in animation, but would have seemed odd and overly revealing for what in live action appears to be a 15 year old girl.

 

[Stryker2011]

Because 15 year olds don’t run around in revealing clothes…

 

[choombaz]

They seem to have got the height correct. 27cm. Anakin figure is 31cm. That approximately matches the relative height difference between Greenblatt 1.6m and Hayden 1.8m.

I have no idea who approved the tube top for Ahsoka when destruction and death is surrounding her. While she is dressed for a day at the beach.

Perhaps it was the grown man who is always wearing a cowboy hat and has an obsession with wolves

Proper attire for a day at the beach in Star Wars is a flat cap and a blanket over your knees...

With Andor being filmed in Britain this seemed like an intentional joke.

(Miner's Fortnight, when the mines and other industries closed down for the last week of July and the first week of August, and the working class were determined to enjoy their hard earned holiday at the beach no matter how cold it was!)

It is funny because I wonder if Filoni had that type of pull in 06/07 though? Was the final design approved by GL?

We know TCW was a bit more kid friendly when it first aired, but people are still dying brutally all around her lol, not sure why they didn't go with some sort of clone armor/robes combo they went with Anakin/Obi-Wan. The Geonosis arc in Season 2 is one of my favorites, but it is hard to kinda take serious sometimes while everyone is dying around her and she's barely dressed.
