Star Wars: Is This the Best Ahsoka Tano Figure Yet?

Good news for fans of The Mandalorian and Star Wars Rebels. Hasbro has revealed several new waves of Star Wars: The Black Series action figures featuring bounty hunter Din Djarin aka the Mandalorian and the entire main cast of Rebels, including fan-favorite heroine Ahsoka Tano. The new Rebels-themed wave comes as part of an ambitious overhaul of the Black Series line. Upcoming waves will feature redesigned packaging with color-coded box art that connects to form a larger collage image. Along with the new Rebels and Mandalorian waves, Hasbro is also teasing another Empire Strikes Back-themed wave as the company continues celebrating the 40th anniversary of that Star Wars sequel. From Ahsoka to Hera Syndulla to Darth Vader, check out the new Black Series figures revealed in the slideshow gallery below: [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=star-wars-ahsoka-tano-the-mandalorian-and-more-incredible-black-series-figures&captions=true"] While many of the Rebels characters featured here have already had Black Series figures in the past, Zeb Orrelios is a newcomer to the line. Even the returning characters are being upgraded with improved head sculpts using Hasbro's "Photo Real" digital scanning technology. As for Din Djarin, this new figure will be a welcome release for anyone still struggling to find Hasbro's previous Mandalorian figure in stores. This isn't a re-release of that figure, however, but instead a new version featuring the lone gunfighter wearing his upgraded Beskar armor. He'll be accompanied by a new Imperial Remnant Stormtrooper figure, and hopefully we'll continue to see more characters from Season 1 get Black Series figures. All of these figures are slated for release in Fall 2020 and will range in price from $19.99 to $29.99. Earlier this year at ToyFair, Hasbro unveiled its elaborate Baby Yoda animatronic action figure, and it's just as adorable as you'd expect. See it in action in the video below: [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/02/20/hasbros-baby-yoda-animatronic-figure-in-action"] In other recent collectibles news, Knights of the Old Republic villains Darth Revan and Darth Malak are getting new Funko Pop! figurines, while Joaquin Phoenix's Joker is being immortalized in the form of an insanely expensive statue.
