Review: LEGO Star Wars 75362 Ahsoka Tano's T-6 Jedi Shuttle

Today we take a quick tour of the content of the LEGO Star Wars set 75362 Ahsoka Tano's T-6 Jedi Shuttle, a box of 601 pieces currently in pre-order on the official online store at the public price of 74.99 € and which will be available from September 1st.

This is not the first interpretation of the T-6 Shuttle, LEGO had marketed a version based on the animated series. The Clone Wars in 2011 under the reference 7931 T-6 Jedi Shuttle (74.90 €). This new version is inspired by the series Star Wars: Ahsoka the broadcast of which begins on August 23, 2023 on the Disney + platform.

Even though the series has yet to air at the time of this writing, we already know what the ship looks like thanks to a mockup display during the last San Diego Comic Con and some sneak peek shots. of the ship in the trailer. This is a simple children's toy of barely 600 pieces and we can conclude that the designer is doing quite well given the reduced inventory and the target of the product.

We find the two integral and rotating wings, they pivot 360° around the cockpit. Too bad for the dressing of the lower face of the ship, LEGO does only the minimum and it will be necessary to be satisfied with it. If we forget this detail, the rest is rather well executed with a pretty pad-printed canopy, engines that are relatively simple but sufficiently detailed to be credible and wings in double layer of plates which remain very rigid during handling. Only one place in the cockpit, on this scale, impossible to do more.

It is a bit difficult to grab the ship by its central part and I can see from here the youngest grabbing it directly by the wings, no risk at this level. It is therefore not the ultimate exhibition model, but there is enough to please fans of the series and the character while waiting for a possible more opulent interpretation intended for adult fans.

Even if the set is very quickly assembled, the ship is fun to build and then we will have fun for a few minutes spinning the wings around the central section. The solution used to embody the main functionality of the ship is not very elaborate but it works perfectly.

LEGO unfortunately does not provide support to present the ship in flight configuration and that's a bit of a shame. I'm not worried, fans will take care of this problem with part-based supports and the various manufacturers of acrylic supports should not be left behind.

The landing gear is symbolized by two moving parts fixed to the central section of the ship and it will be necessary to fold them so that the wings can be positioned at 90°, it makes sense. Two Stud Shooters are installed at the end of the wings, you can remove them easily if you consider that they give a look too playsets overall, and there are two somewhat cramped compartments on the center section of the ship to store things like sabers or handguns.

We stick a handful of stickers but nothing excessive at the level of these stickers which bring a little finish to the construction. Too bad for the Turntable gray which remains clearly visible just behind the cockpit, but I think that the youngest will not hold it against LEGO.

This box allows you to obtain four characters: Ahsoka Tano in Rosario Dawson version, Sabine Wren in Natasha Liu Bordizzo version, the droid Huyang and Marrok the former imperial inquisitor turned mercenary in the service of Morgan Elsbeth. All these new figurines are successful, no doubt about it.

Legs stamped for everyone and new accessories for Marrok, LEGO was not stingy on this file. Marrok has no face, you have to be satisfied with a simple black head under the helm. I'm not sure if Huyang is the right color in the LEGO merchandise, but we'll have to wait to see more than his brief appearance in the trailer.

In short, it's a nice product that will easily find its audience and should satisfy several generations of fans. The public price charged by LEGO is only a starting point, it will be possible to find this box much cheaper elsewhere with a little patience.
