Overview
Ahsoka Tano (Padawan) at #TCW 13 is the TCW Collection’s second Ahsoka figure — the earlier Clone Wars Padawan configuration at the 2023 Phase 4 production standard that supersedes the 2020 Walmart exclusive (#TCW 02) in articulation and portrait quality. Dual lightsabers. Standard retail. $24.99. 2023. Well-received at release. The accessible version of the TCW Collection’s most important character at current production quality.
Dual lightsabers. $24.99. 2023. Standard retail. No exclusivity complications.
Two Ahsokas: The Collector’s Decision
The TCW Collection having two Ahsoka Tano figures is not redundancy — it is the collection acknowledging that its most important character deserves both a specialist early-release and a current-standard accessible version. The 2020 Walmart exclusive (#TCW 02) was the first Phase 4 Ahsoka, produced at the 2020 articulation standard in an exclusive channel. The 2023 standard retail Padawan (#TCW 13) is the current-standard version: better articulation, current Phase 4 portrait quality, no Walmart sourcing required.
For collectors who have the #TCW 02 already: the #TCW 13 is a quality upgrade in standard retail form. For collectors building fresh: #TCW 13 is the starting point, with #TCW 02 as the optional specialist addition.
The Padawan Configuration Specifically
The “Padawan” designation in this figure’s title distinguishes a specific visual configuration from the general “Clone Wars” designation at #TCW 02 — the specific costume and age-appropriate design of Ahsoka at an earlier point in her Clone Wars timeline. The costume details communicate an Ahsoka who is still in the midst of her training, not yet the near-completed Padawan of the Siege of Mandalore arc’s final episodes.
The 2023 Production Standard
The 2023 Phase 4 production standard brings Ahsoka’s articulation and portrait into alignment with the current quality ceiling for the TCW Collection — the butterfly shoulders, rocker ankles, and current Photo Real animation-to-figure process improvements that the 2020 release predates. For display purposes, the 2023 standard shows clearly in dynamic combat poses.
Ahsoka Across the Phase 4 System
Ahsoka Tano is the most widely produced character across the Phase 4 animated collections — Clone Wars configurations, Rebels configurations, and her own series. The Padawan at #TCW 13 is the earliest timeline version in Phase 4 plastic, the Ahsoka before the Siege of Mandalore, before Order 66, before everything the later configurations represent. Display all three configurations chronologically and the growth of one of the franchise’s best characters is visible across the shelf.
Secondary Market
Modest to above-retail secondary market prices — standard retail 2023. Well-received release. Verify both lightsabers. No production variants documented.
Our Verdict
Ahsoka Tano Padawan at #TCW 13 is the TCW Collection’s most accessible version of its most essential character — the 2023 production standard at standard retail pricing, no Walmart sourcing required. Buy her as the current-standard Ahsoka and display her at the centre of the TCW Collection’s Siege of Mandalore ensemble.
The 2023 Ahsoka and the Quality Comparison
We want to be specific about what the 2023 production standard adds over the 2020 Walmart exclusive. Primarily: the articulation upgrade, the butterfly shoulders that the 2020 figure doesn’t have, the current Phase 4 portrait technology rather than the 2020 version. These are incremental improvements that are visible in direct comparison and meaningful for collectors who prioritise display quality.
The 2020 Walmart exclusive is still a good figure. The 2023 standard retail Padawan is better, more accessible, and the version we’d recommend to anyone starting the TCW Collection fresh.
Ahsoka at Every Phase 4 Collection Stage
The TCW Collection’s two Ahsoka figures — the 2020 Walmart exclusive and this 2023 standard retail Padawan — bracket the collection’s production evolution. The gap between them communicates the Phase 4 articulation and portrait improvements across three years. For collectors who want to trace Phase 4’s production progression, these two figures are a useful comparison. For collectors who just want the best Ahsoka for their display: buy the 2023 version.
Ahsoka Tano Padawan at $24.99 standard retail is the accessible current-standard version of the TCW Collection’s protagonist — no Walmart sourcing, no exclusivity friction, the 2023 production quality that supersedes the 2020 exclusive. If you’re building the TCW Collection now, this is your Ahsoka.
Ahsoka Tano’s Phase 4 TCW presence across two figures tells the story of what three years of production development looks like: the 2020 Walmart exclusive and the 2023 standard retail Padawan are both the same character at different production ceilings. The 2023 version is better. It is also easier to buy. It is the one we recommend.

Ahsoka Tano grew up across The Clone Wars. The Padawan figure at #TCW 13 is the specific configuration of that growth — earlier, younger, still in the middle of the arc that will shape everything she becomes.

Ahsoka Tano left the Jedi Order because the Order failed her.
