When Hot Toys announced a new line of Star Wars figures inspired by the Clone Wars animated series, fans all had one question - where's the Ahsoka figure? Well, the wait is over. Hot Toys has finally unveiled its take on the iconic Star Wars heroine, and it's every bit as amazing as you'd expect. Sideshow Collectibles revealed the next two additions to Hot Toys' Clone Wars line, both of which are inspired by the climactic Siege of Mandalore storyline in Season 7. In addition to Ahsoka herself, Hot Toys will also be releasing a 501st Battalion Clone Trooper. You can take a closer look at both figures in the slideshow gallery below: [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=star-wars-hot-toys-reveals-ahsoka-tano-and-clone-trooper-figures&captions=true"] The Ahsoka figure poses an interesting challenge for Hot Toys' artists. While the Clone Wars line is inspired by the animated series, the figures themselves are meant to be lifelike and movie-accurate. But in Ahsoka's case, there's no physical actress on which to base the design (at least until we finally see Rosario Dawson's version of Ahsoka in The Mandalorian). We think the company has done an admirable job of creating a more realistic take on Ahsoka without losing the flavor of the animated series, but definitely let us know in the comments what you think. The 501st Battalion Clone Trooper figure should please any collector hoping to do a bit of Clone Wars army building. The deluxe edition comes with three different helmets - the Episode II-era Phase 1, the Episode III-era Phase 2 and the modified, orange-colored helmet from The Siege of Mandalore. The figure will certainly pair nicely with the previously revealed Captain Rex figure. One of the Ahsoka photos shows her battling a Season 7-inspired Darth Maul, so don't be surprised if that's the next Clone Wars figure to be announced. These figures are slated for release in sometime between October and December 2021. You can find pre-order links for all three below, as well as links for the previously announced Clone Wars figures:
Several of Hot Toys' upcoming Clone Wars figures were on display at Sideshow Con in July, along with some incredible new additions to Sideshow's Star Wars Mythos series. Between that and a new Walmart-exclusive wave of Star Wars: The Black Series figures, the next few years are shaping up to be very expensive for Clone Wars collectors.
