Padawan Ahsoka is *really* testing my rule not to buy multiples of named characters. I love my Clone Wars Ahsoka (got her for an amazing price looong after she was out of production, too, which makes me twice as happy :D ) but maaaan she can't stand for shit and Padawan Ahsoka looks amazing.

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Honestly if you are gonna break that rule this would be the figure to do it with. I’m almost considering retiring the S7 Ahsoka off the shelf because this one is so good. -Nate

[@StraightOtohGunga]

Same here! I have adult mando era Ahsoka and this one, the only character I have two looks for

[@ryangunwitch-black]

Dude. I want all the looks. Give me nine Ashokas and 27 Mandalorians and 73 Luke Skywalkers and a Luuke for good measure

[@RotalHenricsson]

@@ryangunwitch-black i found the Return Anniversary Luke for below-EU-price on Amazon recently and i'm *so* happy i didn't pull the trigger with an earlier Luke :3 Yeah i'd love to be less picky too but Mama's collecting on unemployment, i'm happy if i can scrounge the money for 1 new clone a month -.- adulting sucks.

[@davidedge2828]

Natey!!! This is a "das und Wunderbar" figure-rino!! That's possibly German? I don't know, because I don't speak German! 😮 Unless you want me to tell you I'm 13 years old... "Ich bin dreitzein yahre alt!!" The only German I remember from funnily enough, being 13. I love this Arse-soaker version of Snippet. However, I also loved Merc Omega as well. I think these types of characters remind me of when my daughter was little (and nice!! 😅)

[@HelloThereCollectibles]

Your review is spot on! Padawan Ahsoka is an example of what happens when Hasbro nails a Black Series figure, which makes their misses all the more frustrating.

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Thanks for watching! -Nate

[@RandoMan07]

Alt hands is definitely something Black Series needs. Marvel Legends each get like 4 total hands on average. I just got Starkiller and all his extra hands are amazing!

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Would love em! -Justin

[@TheWhovinerd-1963]

I’ve just purchased this figure and boy do I not regret it. I’m making sure to stick to a strict policy of only buying only figure of my favourite characters and it was a tough choice between this figure, the rebel figure and the S7 Clone Wars figure. I ultimately decided to go with this version since it is the one which I have the most nostalgia for, her decision to leave the order near the end of S5 was absolutely heart breaking and such a morally grey story. The figure is also an immaculate representation of the character. I won’t lie, I wouldn’t love the prequels half as much without The Clone Wars. Xx

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Yeah if you're only getting one figure per character this is definitely the Ahsoka I'd go with! Thanks for checking out the review. -Justin

[@bizzarrosupergirl6710]

Great figure, and glad you finally got yours. That's what I hate about pre-order. You never know who will get them earlier and who will get them later. I missed the pre-order on Amazon in less than an hour after she went up, she was sold out in a lot of places and never saw Amazon put her back up, which is really odd since their initial pre-order sold out so fast. Amazon missing out on a bunch of sales. Her left hand, BTW isn't a Force hand. The design team made it that way exclusively to reverse grip her short saber but noticed it could be a gesture of annoyance like getting impatient with her arms crossed too, so it looks really nice. At least the New Padme comes with an extra hand so she can hold both weapons. They really should add more stuff like that & I saw on a group a New hashtag for ALL JedisGetRobes. Every Jedi and Sith should get a robe no matter what if they wear it in the show or movie. Can't wait for Padme & Anakin!!! See ya later!!😊

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Thanks for checking out the review and sharing your thoughts! Have an excellent week. -Justin

[@Sam_Y_75280]

I'm really surprised Hasbro hasn't made a soft plastic/soft rubber lekku with a wire molded in it, to provide better posing for the head. Nevertheless, Really solid review! If I'm able to, I might get this figure. Looks way better than the season 7 Ashoka IMO. 👍

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Yeah at least softer plastic would make sense but idk maybe they are afraid of it becoming brittle over time. Who knows! Thanks for watching! -Nate

[@Saiyan1229]

Thank goodness they didnt do rubber. That stuff does not last in the long run

[@whitefriarnerd]

Wonderful figure, my top figure from 2023 and easily in the top ten best TBS ever

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Yep it was our number 2 last year! Thanks for watching! -Nate

[@daredevil7010]

Mine showed up from Amazon headless and saberless. It was seeming less resealed. I bought it new. They gave me a full refund. That was the first time that ever happened to me. Anybody want the body?

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Oh that’s really odd. Good thing it’s super easy to return to Amazon! Thanks for watching. -Nate

[@Fig_Fury]

She is a great figure. Solid review, Nate! I feel majority of collectors think this is the best Ahsoka figure and i can see why however i think figure wise her Mando version is the best as the articulation not only is superior to me but also has that sly way of hiding it with her pants design. The face and paint are so good on this Ahsoka🔥🫡🤘🏻👊🏻

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Thank you brother! She is great but I ultimately agree with you. Her Mando figure is definitely better. This one is the best animated by a country mile though. -Nate

[@TheZooBoy111]

About time you finally got her, Nate! Definitely my favorite Ahsoka in the line, looks fantastic next to Anakin, Rex, and the rest of the 501st on the shelf.

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Thanks for checking out the review, bro! -Justin

[@ryangunwitch-black]

I just noticed something. That face kinda looks like they managed to blend a little Rosario in there. Maybe I’m crazy but I see it in the mouth especially compared to older animated versions of the figure

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Personally I don't see it, but very interesting! -Justin

[@tombowling8646]

Great review! It is a pretty nice figure. Soon will be rating Ahsoka figures.

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Thanks for watching Tom! -Nate

[@scolioreset]

Would have easily picked it up if I was into TBS. Until SHF or Mafex does it, it may be the best version of the animated character. Hopefully this can lead to revisions of Season 7 and Rebels versions even if I don’t believe it will happen. (Season 7 revision bundled with Maul would be great)

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Yeah I’d love to see that but I agree I don’t think they will ever redo Rebels or S7 Ahsoka. Thanks for watching! -Nate

[@Saiyan1229]

I really hope we get an updated season 7 ahsoka with a better body. I really like this one. I just wish her other hand gripped the lightsaber much better. I would have rathered it was able to hold it than a posed hand. Of course alt hands is ideal

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Thanks for checking out the review! 🙏🏻 -Justin

[@jeremyjimenez8153]

Now we need youngling/tube top Ahsoka

[@OutOfTheBasement]

I'm good with this one. -Justin

[@fiercekrypton]

So frustrating that BBTS still hasn’t sent me my pre-order

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Ooooof. What's their estimated arrival? -Justin

[@jaystokes3265]

Thanks for new pose Nate. Great review as always. I found the end of the video a bit threatening. When will you see me!? 😳😂

[@OutOfTheBasement]

I’m outside now👀👀👀

My top figgy for 2023 👍🏻

[@OutOfTheBasement]

She’s great! Thanks for watching Brian! -Nate

[@TimboToys]

My favorite BS fig so far! So good!

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Niiiiice! -Justin

[@thescepterofjudah12]

The resell on this is shooting up in value. I saw this on Amazon for $50 now. I’m so glad I got this when I did.

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Same! -Justin

[@baileystout6932]

Do we think we’ll ever get High republic black series? I’d love that and think they would bring so much unique diversity to the line!! Love the vids guys!!

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Personally, I don't see them doing any figures for High Republic. Just my best guess. -Justin

[@ryangunwitch-black]

Don’t feel bad. I still don’t have her yet. But I shall. 💡🗡️

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Thanks for checking out the review! -Justin

[@hyperdrivecollections6460]

This is the version I’ve been waiting for. All I gotta do is find her now

[@anthonyacuna8604]

Just bought this figure on sale for $17 super happy to snag one in person

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Nice find!

[@theperceptor9287]

Hello Nate thanks for sharing your thoughts on the new Ahsoka Padawan figure. First off a great tip for displaying Ahsoka so she can wield her second saber in her force wielding hand. BBTS finally got in my Ahsoka Padawan figure. She's currently in my pile of loot with ROTJ Vader and Greff Carga's second season version. Thanks for reviewing Ahsoka Nate I appreciate it. Take care my friend and enjoy your week. Tom 👍

[@OutOfTheBasement]

What's up, Tom! Thanks for checking out the review. Sounds like a good pile of loot from BBTS! -Justin

[@TheStonedMandalorian]

A gorgeous figure. A perfect representation of a somewhat younger Ahsoka. I definitely feel like she is the best Ashoka yet! I agree on the extra hands. I love the force gesture hand but it would be nice to have it as an option at least. She beat Malgus for my #1 for 2023. Great review man. Congrats on adding her to the collection.

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Definitely my favorite Ahsoka so far! Thanks for checking out the review. -Justin

[@Dillrnbng]

The legs are really what make this Ahsoka for me tbh, she stands so well, surprisingly has boot swivel, and overall has a solid feel compared to the old wobbly Rebels Ahsoka. Also cool that you finally got yours Nate, better late than never.

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Thanks for checking it out, Dill! Really like this one. -Justin

[@CMCustom112]

Right elbow on mine and left foot were warped out of the package... Bad sonic welding and bad QC.

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Dang, sorry that happened to you! -Justin

[@CorellianCollectiblesTBS]

Great figure! It was tough for me to keep it off my top 2023 list!

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Can't believe you kept it off! -Justin

[@GauntImp]

I missed this release but now I see it’s sold out everywhere. Im new to collecting does anyone know if they restock?

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Typically they are not restocked. Thanks for watching! -Nate

[@CollectorCody73]

Looks Awesome! Great review and can't wait to get!

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Hope you enjoy it! -Justin

[@apollo1015]

That padawan ahsoka is a tip top fig, my fave is still the mandalorian ahsoka, but it is about time we got this definitive clone wars look for ahsoka, great review as always

[@OutOfTheBasement]

So good! -Justin

[@kobeosborne8947]

In tales of the Jedi both lightsabers are green so i guess it's not inaccurate

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Yeah that’s true! Thanks for watching Kobe! -Nate

[@TMRazlin]

Visually this is a stunning figure and a worthy addition to the CW shelf. However I don't particularly care for this figure as the articulation scheme just isn't effective for this character and u really can't put her in Ahsoka's trademark crouch. Not sure if anything could have been done to improve the neck articulation just due to the character design, but improved forward ankle articulation and thigh swivels would have really helped.

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Thanks for checking out the review and sharing your thoughts! -Justin

[@etb7856]

Hey there, I’m really just starting into black series, I couldn’t pass on ringworld mando, he’s my first I’m a legends collector, and I’m realizing how unfair it is Marvel legends has so much Like I’m watching this and I’m like oh? Single jointed arms? Wait, single jointed knees?! No thigh swivel?! We’re spoiled at legends, and we’re the most toxic community under Hasbro We got it good there

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Yeah I always gotta have a laugh to myself when I see fans of the other brands complain. Now I think design wise it’s 100% intentional. Black Series has and always will be about how the figure LOOKS vs how it MOVES. There are so many figures in the line that are essentially one step above 5 POA but they LOOK fantastic (Baze Malbus comes to mind) I think BS needs more alt heads and hands like Marvel more than anything! Thanks for watching! -Nate

[@etb7856]

@@OutOfTheBasement you guys crushed your Haslab, and the marvel one barely passed and it was on the last day when it did too. But yea that’s true, we don’t get any soft goods but I know that’s a little more common here in BS. But I totally agree that heads and hands should be normalized here too, especially when they’re needed. Like you said here, it’d have been nice to have an alt grip hand for her saber and then haha that other had as a force gesture

[@jeremyjimenez8153]

Black series banger

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Agreed! -Justin

[@soupdragon6205]

What a shill lol, great figure and great review Nate

[@OutOfTheBasement]

You know me! I’m a hater and a shill all rolled into one! Thanks for watching Soup! -Nate

Not an Ahsoka fan,(especially this version) so easy pass for me.

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Fair enough. Thanks for checking out the review Ryan. -Nate
