2024 TVC AHSOKA E-Wing Fighter with KE4-N4

[Ryan]

Looks great! This wouldn't have been at the top of my TVC vehicle list, but I've always liked the design and am very excited to get this in the line. I preordered two for now, not sure if the droid is carded, but also wanted a pair of the fighters. I'd have to think we are getting both pilots eventually.

It is.

[Nicklab]

I was tempted to buy a second E-Wing in order to get the droid carded.  But then I was just able to find the Mandalorian that's packed with the N-1 for sale on eBay for under $40.  I'll probably do the same for this droid.  And hopefully Bib Fortuna, as well.

While the preorder window from Hasbro Pulse is limited, it looks like Shop Disney will be carrying the E-Wing when it arrives in the fall.  I'm just wondering if it's going to be in the parks before I receive my order?  Because I have a trip to WDW planned for the fall.

I really do like this one... I expect we'll see it in more shows, and repainted several times over the next few years.

[Mister Skeezler]

Yeah, this vehicle is sexy as ****. This is why I love when Filoniverse uses things from the EU, because we have a shot at getting them in the line. Really hoping we get a Headhunter at some point too.

I ordered a pair of these things. I hope Hasbro leans into this selling model, so maybe we can get some ships again. **** the clearance vultures.

Definitely. Even just looking at the main two shown in Ahsoka, the wing markings & blue accents are different (just like the Rebel X-Wings). Even if it only appeared in Ahsoka, there is already another on-screen version repaint that Hasbro can get out of it.

Captain Porter's E-Wing:



The markings are most noticeably different on the ends of the wings.

Surprising that Hasbro's coming out with it and happy they're expanding their portfolio. I considered getting a second to customize but i figure this ship will be re-released in all sorts of deco.

It's interesting that Chris made a point of highlighting the cargo space in the aft section of the E-Wing's fuselage.  And he seems to be aware that we need some storage for accessories.  It's nice to see it here, but I think that concept would be better explored with crates and containers in the deluxe figure / worldbuilding part of The Vintage Collection.

I took him explaining the storage space more as a function of him having explain the big hole he had to expose as a step in plugging the astromech into the socket. He also explained the front landing gear didn’t work as intended on the model while showing us how the rear gear retract. For once using the designers as video presenters made sense and allowed for some insight.

I'll have to go dig out my Dark Empire comics but I believe there was supposed to be a cannon in that storage space.

The design in Ahsoka was modified, the original EU version had a third canon over the cockpit:

[Rob]

I like it better without the top cannon.

[Matt_Fury]

Thanks for looking that up Ryan.  I also agree with Rob, the version we got in Ahsoka looks awesome and I prefer it without the cannon.

[Nicklab]

Agreed on the cannon.  How would the pilot be able to get in and out of the ship with that thing mounted right above the cockpit?

[Muftak]

The canopy slides forward to open as opposed to lifting up like the X-Wing, so it's not that impractical...just have to mind your noggin.
