Theme
Star Wars
Year Released
2021-2022 (Debuted in set 75299)
Rarity
Common (Parts). While the character is iconic, this specific print appeared in high-volume sets.
Head
Missing from image. The official head (part 3626cpb2851) is a specialized tan mold featuring non-printed spikes, tusks, and goggles.
Torso
Dark Brown base with detailed print featuring a cross-body bandolier with tan pouches, dark orange tunic texture, and a silver buckle belt. Arm printing includes dark orange/reddish brown wrappings.
Legs
Dark Brown with front printing only. Features black boots and dark orange fold marks representing heavy desert robes.
Accessories
Missing from image. Officially includes a Gaderffii (Gaffi) stick made of a black handle and a brown spear tip, and sometimes a long-barreled blaster rifle.
Color Scheme
Primary Dark Brown with Dark Orange, Tan, and Silver accents. This represents the earthy, scavenging nature of the Tatooine Sand People.
Printing Details
High quality. Features detailed torso printing (front and back) and arm printing, which is a significant upgrade over older variants that lacked limb detail.
Variants
There are several modern variants (sw1074, sw1184) differing subtly in print alignment or set-exclusive gear. This appears to be the most recent version used in Mandalorian-themed sets.
Condition Notes
The figure is currently missing its head and hands. Dark brown plastic from this era is generally more durable than the infamous 'brittle brown' of 2007-2012, but torso cracks under the arms are still possible.
Estimated Value
Current market value used (complete) is $2.00–$3.50 USD. In its current headless/handless state, it is worth approx. $0.50–$1.00 as scrap parts.
Price (New)
Mostly found in 'Trouble on Tatooine' (75299) which retailed for $29.99, and 'Tusken Raider Encounter' (75307 Advent Calendar).
Compatible Sets

Character Background
Tusken Raiders, or Sand People, are nomadic tribes indigenous to Tatooine. This specific design is based on their appearance in 'The Mandalorian' and 'The Book of Boba Fett'.
Design Notes
The 2021 redesign introduced arm printing to the Tusken Raider for the first time, significantly increasing the visual complexity compared to the 2002 or 2012 versions.
Similar Minifigures
sw0052 (Classic yellow head), sw0629 (2015 version), sw1074 (2020 Tatooine variant).
Collectibility
Low/Moderate. Collectors often buy these in bulk for 'army building' to create desert dioramas, keeping demand steady but price low.
History
First appearing in 1999 as a simple figure, the Tusken Raider has seen four major design overhauls. This version is the pinnacle of the character's print detail.
Interesting Facts
The arm printing on this figure represents 'wraps' rather than skin, highlighting the character's survival gear in the harsh desert environment.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed in a group (4-6 figures) atop tan baseboards or 'Moc-ups' of the Dune Sea. Pairs perfectly with a Bantha or Boba Fett.
Modification Potential
Excellent for custom post-apocalyptic or wasteland MOCs due to the detailed, weathered aesthetic of the torso and arms.
Overall Assessment
This is a headless torso and legs of a modern Tusken Raider. While a great figure for army building, in its current incomplete state, it serves primarily as replacement parts for a collector.
