1/6 Star Wars The Mandalorian - 1/6th scale Ahsoka Tano & Grogu Collectible Set

I see now what you were talking about with the hammer pants; can you explain what you meant by 'water treat' and what you did? Thanks!

Remove shoes and shin armor. I used a spray bottle w/water to soak the pants from just under the waist down. Shape them so they hang naturally and let dry.

Thanks! That does seem to help make the fabric drape more realistically instead of her pants being so billowy.

Damn, all these amazing pics and I’ve yet to even take mine out of the box to put on display and I’ve had her a week or so.

She will be here on the 9th! (my birthday) works out perfect.

I second that water treatment suggestion. Did a quick treatment and let dry this afternoon. All the weird folds from being packaged immediately disappeared and I got a nice drape going on.

This side-by-side comparison is going to help people out a lot, thanks for thinking of shooting a before and after!

I so rarely remember to shoot before shots. One of the rare times I’m thought to.

I know this question sounds kind of funny. But how wet do you need to get the pants? Like dripping wet? Or just damp?

They need to be soaked pretty well through.

TA parted her out last night. Clever way she is designed and I dont foresee her breaking down anytime soon due to the fact the silicone body is just the back, chest, shoulders and biceps area really. I really wish I had saved a picture.

Shame I didn't get to see pictures. The pleather choker is bothering me so much, I would have liked to see if that's somehow fixable, as now it's twisted on one side and doesn't bulge.

Come on now, spanbauer... you've been here since 2008 and never heard of the water treatment before now? You do such amazing poses, and never with the benefit of WT? That is incredible.

Well I've never owned a figure with hammer pants before so...

Surprisingly I actually don't own that many figures, and with the ones I do own a water treatment has never come up before; Ahsoka is my first Jedi! The Mandalorian was my first Star Wars figure! Most of the Marvel figures wear rubbery suits so it wouldn't apply there.

Third batch of photos! Plus some thoughts/questions for other owners.

This figure is really special. The seamless silicone shoulders, tailoring on the costume and the rolling eyes all make the figure shine. This is my first figure with separate rolling eyes as opposed to the old PERS system, and it’s quite a chore to get the eyes both looking the same direction - especially if you want to return her to looking directly ahead. One thing about the eyes and the likeness - they’ve sculpted her eyelids as to be invisible, which for that to be the case with Rosario she’d have to be looking upward slightly. So I believe that’s why the likeness comes across best on this figure with the eyes looking off and upward.

I thought it was curious the instructions make no mention of how much the arms can or cannot move forward and backward at the shoulder - only that they can raise outward 110°; and indeed, posing her with an arm raised as far forward as I could push it was the only time I’ve seen any kind of pinching in the silicone (which healed itself pretty quickly). I haven’t seen any reports yet of tearing or damage - but perhaps that’s only because no one’s willing to leave her arms bent for extended periods of time She’s got some great shoulder shrug forward and backward built in there that I would strongly encourage people to use!

Liking the cloak quite a bit, although getting the hood far enough forward can be tricky; any tips for that? Also curious if there’s any concern that it would stain the body or head over time? What’s the feeling on that?

Really disappointed and honestly a little angry that when Hot Toys has finally chosen to give us ankle tilt on all or most female figures, they’ve simultaneously taken away the cut for thigh swivel on all or most female figures. What on earth is up with that? Really makes it a challenge to put the legs in a believable action stance when the only swivel is a few degree at the hip joint.

Could have used some force-gesture hands and wish the sabers and lantern lit up - but I guess that’s what Photoshop’s for

Beautifully well done photos!

I'll never understand why companies decide to give female bodies less articulation than the men's bodies. ThreeZero did that with their female Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and I was quite disappointed. Limits your creativity and displaying options.

I’d probably buy a back up body, it would be nice if this figure comes back in stock, even if when the show launches.

Wrists aside, she’s lovely

Thank you! And yeah it is creatively limiting. I can understand single-jointed elbows in some instances where the costume or armor of a figure wouldn’t allow for more bend beyond that anyhow, but there’s just no reason to do away with thigh swivel except as a cost-saving measure.

Final batch of photos! Last one was a real labor of love but I think it was worth the afternoon it took

 

[Wor-Gar]

What a minute, Spanbauer -- you're a professional!!!?


Amazing photography.

I don’t even think it’s really cost saving but rather HT laziness. They have other female bodies with better range of motion; yet, for whatever reason, they chose Armorer, Bo-Kataan, and now this Ahsoka to use that Harley Quinn body with single jointed elbows/knees, and no thigh swivel. And that body inly had limited articulation b/c so much of it was exposed. No need to use that body on a nearly fully covered character
