Year Released
2020 - Released alongside the resurgence of Clone Wars popularity with the Siege of Mandalore arc.
Rarity
Uncommon but highly sought after. It was exclusive to a single mid-range set initially, making it desirable for army builders and character collectors.
Head
Double-sided printing (determined and grimacing) on an orange head. Features unique Togruta facial markings and blue eyes. Includes a large white and blue striped Lekku (head-tail) piece made of slightly rubberized plastic.
Torso
Dark blue outfit with silver and light blue detailing, orange arms, and light bluish gray hands. Printing represents the tactical gear worn during the Siege of Mandalore.
Legs
Printed legs with a dark blue 'skirt' or tunic extension over silver and light bluish gray boots. Detail includes knee plating and segmented armor lines.
Accessories
Missing in image, but originally includes two lightsabers with trans-light blue blades (one standard length, one shorter 'shoto' length) and silver hilts.
Color Scheme
A striking palette of orange, dark blue, and white, with metallic silver accents for armor and light bluish gray for the boots.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on head, torso, and legs. Significant detail on the Lekku piece with crisp blue stripes against the white base.
Variants
This version (sw1096) is distinct from the 2008 stylized 'wide-eye' version and the 2016 Rebels version (sw0759). A newer 2023 version exists for the Ahsoka series with different head mold and outfit.
Condition Notes
Watch for paint rubbing on the Lekku stripes and stress marks on the torso sides. Rubberized headpieces are prone to dust attraction and discoloration if exposed to sun.
Estimated Value
Used: $15.00 - $22.00; New/Mint: $25.00 - $30.00. Value dropped slightly after the release of the 2023 332nd Swamp Speeder set version, but this specific print remains popular.
Price (New)
Included in set 75283 (AAT) which retailed for $39.99 USD in 2020.
Compatible Sets
75283 Armored Assault Tank (AAT); also loosely compatible with any Episode VII/Siege of Mandalore MOCs.
Character Background
Ahsoka Tano as she appears in the final season of The Clone Wars, leading the 332nd Company to liberate Mandalore from Maul.
Design Notes
Transitioned from the 'Clone Wars' stylized eyes to the modern realistic eyes. The mold for the Lekku is shorter than her 'Rebels' adult version but longer than her 'Padawan' version, showing aging.
Similar Minifigures
sw0759 (Rebels Ahsoka), sw0452 (Padawan Ahsoka), sw1303 (Ahsoka series version).
Collectibility
High demand. Ahsoka is one of the most popular characters in the franchise, ensuring this version remains a staple for Star Wars collectors.
History
Represents the 'bridge' design between the young Ahsoka of the early 2010s and the adult version seen in later live-action and animated media.
Interesting Facts
This minifigure's release caused the 75283 AAT set to sell out frequently because fans wanted both this figure and the exclusive 332nd Company Clone Trooper for army building.
Display Suggestions
Pair with the 332nd Company Clone Troopers or a Maul minifigure in a Mandalore throne room diorama. Use a dynamic leaping pose with clear 'action' stands.
Modification Potential
The Lekku piece is frequently used for custom Togruta MOCs. Hands can be swapped for orange to simulate a sleeveless look seen in some concept art.
Overall Assessment
A top-tier Star Wars minifigure with excellent color contrast and accurate source material representation. A 'buy' for any Clone Wars era collector.
