Halloween Edition Dathomir Witch

Target managed to get their 2025 Halloween Edition exclusive out in August, and Walmart got theirs in September, meaning it's only the "Fan Channel" exclusive that actually came out in October. Celebrate the season with specially designed Star Wars figures from The Black Series. It's such a shame that coming up with specific text about all these various Holiday Edition releases would cost actual pennies per figure, or else Hasbro, a multi-billion-dollar company, would be able to afford it. Don't you feel bad for them? Don't you just want to look past them raising prices while lowering value? Don't you want to start a GoFundMe to buy CEO Chris Cocks a private plane so he doesn't have to use his own money? O, poor Hasbro, "only" able to post a profit of $386 million in 2024! Those poor babies! Please, Mr. Hasbro, sell me less toy for more money so that next year number go up! (Capitalism, like Conservativism, is a brain disease.) This figure uses molds we've reviewed before, the Clone Wars Asajj Ventress. But do note that this figure is decidedly not Ventress: the official name on the packaging is simply "Dathomir Witch," so this is merely another member of the Nightsisters. Were they all shaved, or was that just Asajj's fashion choice? It's possible more than one woman would be bald, either way. The figure is still wearing her long softgoods dress, though the material it's made from is different this time. Asajj's was fairly lush and soft, while this is a thinner, stiffer material, not quite "plasticky" but not far off from it, either. The transition from cloth to sculpted plastic is hidden by her crossed belts and their ornate loincloth (or whatever you call that thing) with its raised pattern. Her arms and stomach are bound in sculpted cloth wraps, and her shirt has a cutout in the front to really show off the goods - hey, not every witch wants to lure children, so gingerbread houses aren't always the answer! To really turn this figure into a witch, her skin is a dark avocado green, and her dress is mostly black. Her belt is purple with orange destails, presumably because those are vaguely "Halloweeny" colors? Her face is painted with the same markings Ventress had, though since her skin is darker to begin with, it's hard to see them; the lines ate the corners of her mouth are plain enough, but the marks on her scalp barely look like anything more than smudges or scrapes. The articulation is the same as before - ankles, knees, thighs, hips, torso, wrists, elbows, shoulders, neck, and head - and the dress still doesn't block anything important. They really went all-out with the accessories! She has her usual curved lightsaber hilts, which can still plug into the center of her belt. The blades on those are again orange and purple, continuing the theme begun by the loincloth. To further her witchy connection, they've designed her a new softgoods hat, made from the same material as the skirt It's tall and pointy, with a wide brim, as a witch hat should be. She also has two versions of the electrostaff that came with the armored version of Moff Gideon: one of them is plain, but the other has a new, long-fibered, faux-fur piece wrapped around the end, turning it into a broom! How awesome! Not sure what the non-broom version is adding to the set, but this one at least is awesome. Just like the the Holiday Edition figures before them, the Halloween Edition figures include a small pack-in figure. There are only so many tiny characters available, so we keep cycling through the same few ones. The witch doesn't even get a unique mold among the 2025 Halloween figures, coming with the second bogling of the year. Hers is different in one way, at least. Boglings are adorable little fox-birds introduced for the Jedi Fallen Order videogame. Until now all the uses of the mold have been at least minorly colorful, but this one is solid black, with only some yellow paint for the eyes. The intention, obviously, is that it would be the witch's black cat, but it underscores the fact that between the Rebels and Ahsoka lines, they've had lots of opportunities to make a Black Series Loth-cat, which would have been a great thing to include here. The progression from "Nightsister" to "Sith Witch" to "just an actual witch" is an easy train of thought to follow, and it's made for a really nice seasonal action figure. The fact they went to the trouble of fabricating a new hat for her and found a way to give her a broom and a black cat is awesome. The only thing she's missing is a cauldron, and there's no easy way they could have gotten one of those into the standard box. -- 10/26/25 What would they even make a cauldron out of?
