Well, it sure is a nice sculpt, but is nothing like Rosario Dawson, and it's supposed it's her, not a random interpretation of the character.
Not even the white marks are accurate..

Re: Star Wars The Mandalorian - Ahsoka Tano & Grogu Collectible Set
Really? I haven't noticed that. I think they tend to use a standard body regardless of the character, so depending on the actress the legs can either look too long or too short. Nebula comes to mind, as I thought the legs weren't long enough. Hela was another one with short legs. OK, I guess maybe they do skew to the short side, as I can't think of any where the legs seemed too long.
Easier to add extensions than chop off the legs, so if they're going to err that's the way to go.

Holy crap does the likeness come to life with eyes looking to the side, especially that top pic. Okay never mind about the sculpt and PERS, total homerun figure IMO!
That really does look like a living person
Amazing how even some 1/4 scale don?t look that real.

Rosario Dawson herself seems impressed with it as she keeps posting on her instagram about it, so if she's happy with it so am I.

Yeonsun Jeon? I like these sculpts, to be honest, but I?ve never heard of this sculptor.
These pics look pretty darn good

The sculpt gives off a slight Arnold Terminator determination look right.
She’s got his neanderthal eyebrow feature accentuated by the white stripe...

Re: Star Wars The Mandalorian - Ahsoka Tano & Grogu Collectible Set
Since Hot Toys decided not to include the base I want with the deluxe grogu release, I am considering 3D printing and painting to make my own for myself.
With some effort I could probably model something similar. I do already own an FDM printer, which would be fine for the stone parts.
I don't have a resin printer but I may actually get one before this figure releases, which would be better for the clear water parts.
I'd skip the nameplate entirely. It's not like I don't know who it is.
I may have to start firing up maya here and there in my spare time! We'll see.

Opening scene of her show, Ahsoka walks into the Cantina nude and taps Dr. Evazan on the shoulder, "I'm gonna need your clothes, your boots, and your speeder bike".

Fantastic looking figure, over-all.
Not sure I'll get her, though. Still waiting (indefinitely?) for a Kuiil...

What exposed elbow? She's wearing the same kind of arm wraps as Rey.

I wish I had room for this but I?ve already committed to TCW version of Ahsoka and Anakin. Congrats to those getting it.

Re: Star Wars The Mandalorian - Ahsoka Tano & Grogu Collectible Set
The water effect HT have used is more symbolic than naturalistic. It's so blue that it's like a swimming pool with underwater lighting. It's a nice effect, but the courtyard ponds were darker, and murkier looking. Those scenes seem to have been filmed with a yellowy green filter, like a poisonous looking fog, so I'm surprised HT didn't make their stand less grey.
I'll have to leave the water out, and just imagine its down there on the shelf.
I gave my stand another dry brushing of grey to lighten it further, and I think it'll do for me.

Does anybody here actual use those cardboard backdrops on permanent display with their figures? I’m trying to think if I’ve actually ever seen pics of people using them.

Re: Star Wars The Mandalorian - Ahsoka Tano & Grogu Collectible Set
The only one I ever used for a while was the DX11 cell walls. I had two figures so used two diorama backdrops to make a three-sided cell.
Every other backdrop stayed in the box, which is where those cell walls eventually went as well.

I went ahead and preordered both versions. I?ll pose one in the cloak holding Grogu and the lantern. The other one will be in an action pose with lightsabers.

Re: Star Wars The Mandalorian - Ahsoka Tano & Grogu Collectible Set
My only real gripe (besides thinking the sculpt could use some minor tweaks) is that the DX doesn’t include Both stands and backdrops. Will I use them? Unlikely, but the point remains that the DX should include both. Doesn’t make sense in my mind that the regular has something the DX doesn’t. Especially without any light up features.
