Head
Molded Mon Calamari head in Dark Orange with large yellow eyes and specialized gills; unique mold first used for Nahdar Vebb.

Tan Jedi robes with sand-colored tunics, brown belt with silver buckle, and dark orange hands to match the Mon Calamari skin tone.
Legs
Plain dark tan legs representing standard Jedi trousers, featuring no printing.

Color Scheme
Dark orange, tan, and dark tan. The blue lightsaber provides a striking color contrast against the earthy Jedi palette.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the torso (front and back). The head mold includes intricate textured details but relies on eye printing for character definition.
Variants
No official variants exist for this specific character ID, though he shares similarities with Admiral Ackbar (sw0247).
Condition Notes
Check for 'bite marks' or scratches on the specialized head mold, and silver paint wear on the lightsaber hilt. The neck joint can loosen due to the weight of the mold.

Character Background
A Mon Calamari Jedi Knight and former Padawan of Kit Fisto; famously killed by General Grievous in the Clone Wars episode 'Lair of Grievous'.
Design Notes
The figure was praised for the accurate Mon Calamari mold, though some collectors noted the skin tone is significantly darker than Ackbar's.
Similar Minifigures
Admiral Ackbar (sw0247), Kit Fisto (sw0163), and various Mon Calamari Officers.
Collectibility
High for Clone Wars completionists and Jedi collectors due to his status as a 'named' Jedi and single-set exclusivity.
History
Nahdar Vebb represents LEGO's trend of expanding the Jedi roster with specific alien species during the early 2010s 'The Clone Wars' line.
Interesting Facts
The headpiece is slightly longer than the standard Ackbar mold to represent Vebb's specific facial structure seen in the show.
Display Suggestions
Ideal for a 'Grievous's Lair' diorama or a Jedi High Council lineup. Keep out of direct UV light to prevent dark orange discoloration.
Modification Potential
The head can be used for custom Mon Calamari Jedi or Sith; the torso is a versatile tan robe piece for any custom Jedi MOC.
Overall Assessment
An excellent, highly detailed figure that captures the unique look of the Mon Calamari species. A must-have for fans of the Star Wars expanded universe.
