Star Wars Black Series Ahsoka Tano — Every Figure, Every Era, Which to Buy

Ahsoka Tano is the most important character in the Star Wars Black Series outside the original film trilogy — with 10 figures across five sub-lines and four distinct visual eras, her collecting story is one of the most complex and rewarding in the line. No other character spans as many formats: pre-Photo Real Red Line, animated-style Galaxy Collection, live-action Photo Real, Credit Collection exclusive, Archive reissue, Force FX lightsaber prop. Understanding which Ahsoka figure to buy requires understanding who she is, how she changed across her appearances, and what each figure is designed to represent.

Who Is Ahsoka Tano?

Ahsoka Tano is the Togruta Jedi Padawan who debuted in the Star Wars: The Clone Wars animated film in 2008 as Anakin Skywalker’s apprentice — a character created by Dave Filoni who was not in any of the Prequel Trilogy films but became, through seven seasons of The Clone Wars, one of the most beloved characters in the franchise. Her story across that series — rising from brash Padawan to formidable warrior, being wrongly accused of a crime and leaving the Jedi Order before the Order 66 purge, and returning to fight in the Siege of Mandalore — gave her a dramatic arc that the films themselves didn’t have space to tell.

She then appeared in Star Wars Rebels as a white-clad warrior operating outside the Jedi Order’s structures, her twin white lightsabers a visual signal of her position between the Jedi and the wider Force. Her confrontation with Darth Vader in the Rebels season two finale — the moment where she recognises her old master inside the black armour — is one of the most emotionally devastating scenes in Star Wars animation.

Her live-action debut came in The Mandalorian season two in 2020, portrayed by Rosario Dawson, and she received a dedicated Disney+ series in 2023 that continued the post-Return of the Jedi story threads of Rebels. The Black Series figure range tracks this entire journey — from the 2016 Red Line figure using her Clone Wars animated design, through animated-specific releases in three sub-lines, to the fully Photo Real live-action figures of the Mandalorian and Ahsoka series era.

All Ahsoka Tano Figures

Ahsoka Tano — Red Line, 2016 The first Black Series Ahsoka — her Clone Wars-era animated design in red packaging. Pre-Photo Real, hand-applied face paint. This is the only Phase 3 Ahsoka and reflects her Togruta facial markings in the orange and white Clone Wars colour scheme. Superseded by later releases for display but historically significant as the first 6-inch Ahsoka.

Ahsoka Tano (Clone Wars) — Clone Wars sub-line, 2020 (Walmart exclusive) The Siege of Mandalore Ahsoka — blue and white facial markings, the older Clone Wars design from the series’ final arc. Animated-style face printing tuned to her Clone Wars aesthetic. The definitive animated Clone Wars-era Ahsoka for display. Walmart exclusive making it modestly harder to find than standard mainline.

Ahsoka Tano (Rebels) — Rebels sub-line, 2020 (Fan Channel exclusive) The white-robed Rebels season two Ahsoka — the mature, post-Order 66 design with white lightsabers and the white montrals and lekku that signal her departure from the Jedi Order. Animated-style face printing for the Rebels aesthetic. Fan Channel exclusive available through Entertainment Earth and similar retailers.

Ahsoka Tano — Credit Collection, 2021 (Target exclusive) The Mandalorian era Ahsoka in live-action Corvus white robes — this was the first live-action Ahsoka figure, released under the Credit Collection programme before the dedicated Mandalorian sub-line version arrived. Photo Real face printing for Rosario Dawson’s likeness. Target exclusive.

Ahsoka Tano (Corvus) — The Mandalorian sub-line, 2022 The standard mainline live-action Ahsoka in her Mandalorian season two Corvus appearance — white robes, twin white lightsabers, Photo Real Rosario Dawson likeness. This is the definitive Mandalorian-era Ahsoka and the most widely available live-action version.

Ahsoka Tano (Archive) — Archive Collection, 2023 Archive reissue of the Mandalorian Corvus figure, making it available at standard retail without Target exclusivity markup. If you missed the Credit Collection version, the Archive release is the accessible alternative.

Ahsoka Tano Force FX Elite Dual Lightsabers — Force FX, 2023 The premium lightsaber prop collectible rather than an action figure — Ahsoka’s twin white hilts with electronic lighting and sound effects. For collectors focused on lightsaber props alongside their figure displays.

Ahsoka Tano (Ahsoka Series) — Ahsoka sub-line, 2023 The primary Ahsoka Disney+ series figure — white robes, twin white lightsabers, Photo Real Rosario Dawson likeness. The definitive live-action Ahsoka for display. Distinct from the Corvus version in specific costume details reflecting the 2023 series’ design evolution.

Ahsoka Tano (Padawan) — Clone Wars sub-line, 2023 The younger Padawan Ahsoka in orange and white markings — her early Clone Wars configuration rather than the mature Siege of Mandalore version. A distinct second Clone Wars figure covering the character’s earlier arc.

Ahsoka Tano (Peridea) — Ahsoka sub-line, 2024 The alternate galaxy of Peridea configuration from the second half of the Ahsoka series — same character, slightly different outfit and context for the Peridea arc scenes.

Which Ahsoka Figure to Buy

This is the most common Ahsoka question in the Black Series collector community because the wrong choice is genuinely easy to make if you don’t know the difference.

For animated Clone Wars display: Ahsoka Tano (Clone Wars) (Siege of Mandalore, mature design) or Ahsoka Tano (Padawan) (earlier orange and white design). Choose based on which arc of the series you want to represent. The Siege of Mandalore version is the more dramatic display piece.

For animated Rebels display: Ahsoka Tano (Rebels) — the white-robed Fan Channel exclusive. There is no other Rebels-era Ahsoka.

For live-action display (Mandalorian or Ahsoka series): Ahsoka Tano (Ahsoka Series) is the current recommendation — most recent, Photo Real, standard mainline availability.

The single most important thing to understand: Animated and live-action Ahsoka figures are not interchangeable display choices. The animated versions use stylised face printing tuned to her drawn design; the live-action versions use Photo Real photography of Rosario Dawson. They are visually distinct and both are “correct” for their respective contexts. Most collectors eventually want both.

Ahsoka on the Shelf — Display Approaches

A complete Ahsoka display across her full story arc requires figures from four sub-lines: Clone Wars (Padawan) → Clone Wars (Siege of Mandalore) → Rebels (white robes) → Ahsoka Series (live-action). This four-figure display tells the entire character journey in plastic, from apprentice to fully realised independent Force user. Few other Black Series characters can have their complete story told in a four-figure sequence this clearly.

For collectors who want only one Ahsoka, the Ahsoka Series version represents the most mature, current version of the character at the highest production quality the line has produced.

What is the difference between the Clone Wars and Ahsoka series figures? Clone Wars figures use animated-style face printing for the Filoni animated aesthetic.

Which Ahsoka has white lightsabers? The Rebels figure, the Credit Collection, the Corvus (Mandalorian), the Archive, the Ahsoka Series, and the Peridea versions all feature white lightsabers — reflecting Ahsoka’s post-Order 66 identity.
