Commentary: While I'm incredibly fond of
Epic Hero Series and
Epic World of Action, I think I can safely say it's the best figure line with the worst sense of timing. None of the figures were on time to be "on shelf" when any of the streaming series were near their respective debuts, although SM-33 was just late enough to make you mad. They're popular characters, but last year's - and now this year's
Ahsoka Tano came out when her show was too far away from being new or recent. This one has some minor deco changes, and will be most likely marked down and out of Target before the second season trailer for
Ahsoka makes its debut. This is unfortunate, as the figure collection is decent for the money.
This 2025 release is similar to the 2024
Ahsoka Tano [FOTD #3,117] on a single card, but with some extra paint. The paint doesn't make a lot of sense, but it looks cool. The 5-jointed figure added some "Force lightning" crackles to her gloves, lightsaber hilts, and oddly lightsaber blades. It's actually kind of cool on the lightsabers - it looks like she's absorbing Sith lightning. This would look super cool if they could integrate this kind of deco on specific collector figures, too - but here it's just kind of a head-scratcher. It makes the figure look new and different if you pay attention to this sort of thing, but given how many were sitting on shelves in Q4 last year I think people just overlooked it. Individually carded figures are in short supply, and nobody is supporting the cheaper vehicles - so people are ignoring the gift sets.
They're missing out. Ahsoka still has great face paint with nice blue markings on her lekku. The sculpting of her outfit still looks great, and all the joints move smoothly. Her pose isn't too extreme, or too generic, so you can have some fun posing her or putting her in unrelated vehicles. She stands, she sits, and she can hold her gear well. There's a hole in her back for expansion accessories, but for whatever reason Hasbro didn't take advantage of their various pegs and holes.
If you got last year's figure, you're probably a completist and will want this one too. It seems silly to buy another copy of a figure that Walmart blew out under $3, but it's well-made and I don't mind a weird deco variant if it's interesting. This one is barely interesting - skippable for some, but Hasbro rarely does energy deco on its figures. It's kind of a shame we don't see more of it, because Quantum Surges or Emperor's Wrath lightning can look really good as two-dimensional paint applications rather than blue twigs or boogers. Ahsoka's a good figure, and this set is interesting enough at its regular price that I would certainly recommend it at a discount. I just don't expect the line to have much of a future, so go get the set and backfill the line while you still can.
Collector's Notes: I got mine from Target on sale for $24.49. If I didn't overpay for Walmart's exclusives last year, I probably would've bought this one at full price and not complain. I needed that karmic price adjustment.
