Rarity
Uncommon. While exclusive to one specific set, that set was widely produced and available for over two years, making it accessible to most collectors but highly desired due to character popularity.
Head
Orange head with blue eyes and white decorative facial markings. Double-sided print with a smiling expression and a determined/angry battle expression. Features a unique blue and white striped Montral/Lekku piece.
Torso
Dark blue/black outfit based on her Season 7 appearance. Detailed silver trim, belt printing, and specialized holster printing on the reverse side. Dark blue arms with orange hands representing her skin tone.
Legs
Dark blue/black legs with printing that continues the tunic/tabard design from the torso. Includes knee pad and boot detailing in silver and grey.
Accessories
Two lightsabers with metallic silver hilts and trans-clear (appearing white/pale blue) blades, representing her iconic dual-wielding style in the later seasons of The Clone Wars.
Color Scheme
A palette of Dark Blue, Black, Orange, and White, accented by Metallic Silver. This reflects her more mature, battle-hardened aesthetic compared to earlier 'The Clone Wars' variants.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the head, torso (front and back), and legs. Clear linework on the facial markings and detailed belt geometry. The lekku piece features crisp blue striping on a white base.
Variants
This is the 'Season 7' version. It differs from the earlier 2008 'wide-eyed' version (sw0192) and the later 'Ahsoka' series adult versions (sw1297) which use longer lekku pieces and different torso prints.
Condition Notes
Watch for paint rubbing on the tips of the lekku piece. The trans-clear lightsaber blades are prone to clouding or scratches if played with heavily. Check for neck cracks which can occur in the dark-colored torso plastic.
Estimated Value
Used: $5.00 - $8.00; New/Mint: $10.00 - $14.00. Value fluctuates based on the availability of the Ahsoka series and new set releases.
Price (New)
Originally included in set 75283 Armored Assault Tank (AAT) which retailed for $39.99 USD.
Compatible Sets
75283 Armored Assault Tank (AAT); also a key figure for 75310 Duel on Mandalore (which features a similar but slightly varied version).
Character Background
Ahsoka Tano, the Togruta apprentice of Anakin Skywalker. This figure depicts her during the Siege of Mandalore, the final arc of The Clone Wars, where she leads the 332nd Company.
Design Notes
A massive improvement over the 2008 stylized version, utilizing the 'realistic' LEGO Star Wars aesthetic. The lekku mold is appropriately sized for a teenager/young adult character.
Similar Minifigures
sw1159 (Ahsoka with slightly different head/torso details), sw0759 (Rebels adult version), sw1297 (Ahsoka TV series version).
Collectibility
High. Ahsoka is one of the most beloved characters in the Star Wars mythos. Figures of her tend to hold value well and are considered essential for any 'The Clone Wars' collection.
History
First appearing in 2008 with a 'cartoonish' face, Ahsoka design languished until the 2010s. The 2020 update (sw1096) marked a turning point in accuracy and fan satisfaction.
Interesting Facts
The lightsaber blades are trans-clear to represent Ahsoka's purified white crystals, a departure from the trans-light-blue used for other Jedi. This was the first 'standard' Ahsoka to lose the controversial stylized eyes from the early 2000s sets.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside the 332nd Company Clone Troopers or in a duel scene with Darth Maul (sw1158). Using a clear stand to pose her in a mid-air acrobatic strike highlights her combat style.
Modification Potential
Commonly modified with custom cloth capes or 3D-printed hilt accessories to more accurately reflect her curved 'Shoto' saber and primary blade.
Overall Assessment
An excellent figure that perfectly captures a peak character moment. 9/10 for design and accuracy. Highly recommended for any LEGO Star Wars fan.
