Theme
Star Wars
Year Released
2013: Released as part of the final wave of the original Clone Wars sets during a period when LEGO transitioned toward more detailed printing and realistic eyes over the 'stylized' eyes of 2008-2010.
Rarity
Uncommon to Rare: Exclusive to only one set (75013) that was retired fairly quickly. It is highly sought after by Star Wars fans specifically for this outfit variant.
Head
Bright orange skin with Togruta white face markings and blue eyes. Dual-sided printing: one side happy/smirking, the other side determined/angry. Features a unique Togruta headpiece (lekku) with blue and white stripes and olive green 'horn' tips.
Torso
Dark orange with sand-colored tube top/jump-suit printing and brown belt details. Back printing features continuation of the suit and belt. Flesh-colored (orange) arms with dark brown hands to represent gloves.
Legs
Light bluish gray legs with a dark brown hip piece. Features vertical dark brown and orange stripe printing down the center of the legs to represent the uniform seam.
Accessories
Typically comes with two lightsabers: one with a standard green blade and one shorter Shoto lightsaber with a lime green blade (though not pictured in the hand).
Color Scheme
Primary colors are Bright Orange, Dark Orange, and Light Bluish Gray, accented by Dark Brown and Sand Green. The blue/white lekku provides a striking contrast.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing. The vertical lines on the legs are notoriously prone to slight misalignment at the factory, making perfectly centered prints more valuable. Features back-torso and dual-head printing.
Variants
This is the 'Season 3-5' Padawan version. It differs from sw0192 (Season 1) and sw0759 (Rebel Rebels) and the later sw1096 (Season 7) based on the specific orange tube-top outfit and grey pants.
Condition Notes
Check for 'cracking' under the arms on the torso and stress marks on the neck peg. The Togruta headpiece is soft plastic and can attract dust or sustain bite marks/stains easily.
Estimated Value
Used: $55 - $75 USD; New/Mint: $85 - $110 USD. Significant value increase seen over the last 3 years due to the Disney+ Ahsoka series.
Price (New)
Included in set 75013 'Umbaran MHC' which retailed for $49.99 in 2013.

Character Background
Ahsoka Tano, Anakin Skywalker's Padawan apprentice. This specific version represents her older Padawan look during the later seasons of The Clone Wars, including the Umbara campaign.
Design Notes
Features the more 'realistic' eye style which replaced the wide, stylized black pupils of earlier Clone Wars figures. This transition made the figures blend better with standard Star Wars sets.
Similar Minifigures
sw0192 (Classic Ahsoka), sw0759 (Fulcrum/Rebels), sw1096 (Mandore Siege Ahsoka), sw1291 (Ahsoka the White).
Collectibility
High. Ahsoka is one of the most popular characters in Star Wars history. Collectors specifically target this variant to complete the 'Evolution of Ahsoka' timeline.
History
First debuted in 2013; this specific torso and leg combo has never been re-issued, making it a distinct historical marker in the TCW figure line.
Interesting Facts
Despite Ahsoka being a lead character, this specific 'grey leg' variant only appeared in one set, whereas her earlier 'tube top' burgundy variant (sw0310) appeared in several.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside Captain Rex or Anakin Skywalker (Clone Wars versions) on a clear stand to highlight her dual lightsabers.
Modification Potential
Excellent for purist customs. The head and lekku are frequently used by customizers to make other Togruta characters like Shaak Ti or MOC citizens.
Overall Assessment
9/10 Collectibility rating. A 'Must-Buy' for Star Wars collectors. The figure is aesthetically distinct, belongs to a beloved character, and has strong investment potential.
