I love how popular Ahsoka Tano has become. She was introduced in 2008's Star Wars: The Clone Wars CGI animated film, and was a major character in the following animated series as well as 2014 follow-up series Star Wars: Rebels. I admit I've never watched any of the modern animated Star Wars installments, but I would see this character in the toy aisles all the time and her design intrigued me. She was the only character in the preschool Galactic Heroes lines (which I was obsessed with) to get multiple figures (aside from Leia and Amidala). And I even got a PEZ dispenser of her. But I still didn't know anything about her character until she stepped out of the fog in that amazing 2020 episode of The Mandalorian. Almost immediately there was buzz about an Ahsoka solo series for 2023. And then we were treated to an unexpected appearance in The Book of Boba Fett earlier this year. I'm impressed by what I've seen so far and am excited to see more of character when the show debuts next year.
This figure was something I completely expected to come out eventually. Having a celebrity cast as a popular character is a no-brainer for immortalization in plastic. She looks great. The likeness to Rosario Dawson is really good and the translation of an animated character to live action worked surprisingly well. Let's check out Ahsoka Tano below!
Time for some Group and Comparison Pics!
Here are the Black Series Mandalorian figures so far. From Left to Right: The Armorer, Koska Reeves, Ahsoka Tano, Bo-Katan, and Cara Dune.
Cheers!
