Set after the fall of the Empire, Ahsoka follows former Jedi Knight Ahsoka Tano as she investigates an emerging threat to a vulnerable galaxy.
Are there any men in Star Wars: Ahsoka? How does Hasbro defend producing so many female characters for a line of an IP designed for young boys? It won’t be too much longer until The Black Series 6-inch line implodes, and it’s all because of the crappy content from which Hasbro designs these action figures. A Star Wars action figure line comprised of all female characters doesn’t have the support to sell through and be financially solvent. And then add to this disaster repacks and repaints, it’s no wonder that people are dropping The Black Series line like a hot potato. You can barely give them away on eBay these days. That said, Hasbro added Shin Hati to the line. The character looks like a hybrid of Pris from Blade Runner, Lynda Carter, and Strawberry Shortcake. And what in the world is up with her awful hairstyle? The action figure wields a red lightsaber, so it’s like she’s an evil person. But who knows? Hasbro made the action figure well. It comes with 28 points of articulation. Hasbro also removed the swivel thighs from this figure, something they’ve been doing since their recent release. The figure’s portrait looks excellent, but we’re not sure if this figure will do well at the retail level between the drab costume and the lack of any exciting accessories. Where is the figure’s cape, for example? Hasbro cannot go this cheaply on an action figure line that is this expensive. The figure looks great, but what good will that do when collectors feel the high MSRP is ripping them off? Hopefully, Shin Hati will perform well and be a popular action figure. But we almost fell asleep by writing this review of the figure. And it feels like it will be a dull action figure to display in your collection.
