Year Released
Released in late 2017 as part of the initial wave for Star Wars: The Last Jedi. This period marked a transition in LEGO Star Wars design toward higher-detail facial prints and specialized hair pieces like the mid-length wavy mold seen here.
Rarity
Uncommon. While it is a major character, this specific variant with the tattered tunic printing was only included in one large, relatively expensive vehicle set, limiting its circulation compared to the Episode 7 versions.
Head
Features a light flesh head with a dual-sided print. One side shows an angry/determined expression with his signature vertical facial scar (post-Episode VII); the other side shows an intensely enraged expression with yellow Sith-like eyes. Accurate mole placement is included.
Torso
Black torso with a detailed robe print, featuring silver/grey outlines for the belt and tattered fabric edges. It includes printing on the back to continue the belt line and robe texture. Arms are black with light flesh hands.
Legs
Standard black legs with detailed printing that continues the aesthetic of his tattered tunic and belt sash from the torso. The printing is high-contrast against the black plastic but focuses only on the front.
Accessories
This figure was originally packaged with a specialized crossguard lightsaber featuring a trans-red hilt and blades. Note: The figure in the image is missing its lightsaber and its unique tattered black fabric cape.
Color Scheme
Primary color is Black, symbolizing the Dark Side and the First Order. Accents are Light Flesh for skin and Metallic Silver/Dark Grey for printing details.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the head, torso, and legs. The alignment of the belt between the torso and hips is a key indicator of quality. Detail level is high, capturing the 'scars' and 'distressed' look of the fabric from the film.
Variants
Several other Kylo Ren variants exist, including sw0663 (masked), sw0716 (masked with cape), sw0975 (Episode 9 version with repaired helmet), and sw1066 (with cape and scar, no helmet). This specific variant is defined by the tattered tunic print and unmasked scarred face.
Condition Notes
Common wear points include hair-rub marks on the back of the head, torso cracks under the arms, and loose hip joints. The thin silver lines on the belt are prone to fading or scratching over time.
Estimated Value
Approximately $10.00 - $15.00 USD for a used figure in good condition. New/Mint examples can reach $20.00+. Value is significantly reduced if the specific tattered fabric cape and lightsaber are missing.
Price (New)
This figure debuted in set 75179 (Kylo Ren's TIE Fighter) which retailed for $79.99 USD. It was not sold as a standalone figure.
Compatible Sets
Official appearances include LEGO set 75179: Kylo Ren's TIE Fighter (2017).
Character Background
Ben Solo, son of Han Solo and Leia Organa, known as Kylo Ren. This version represents him during 'The Last Jedi' after he has smashed his helmet and is embracing his personal path under Supreme Leader Snoke (before betraying him).
Design Notes
This figure uses a hairpiece (part 21268) specifically chosen to reflect the character's long, dark hair from the sequels. The scar printing on the face was updated from earlier concepts to match the movie's retconned placement.
Similar Minifigures
Supreme Leader Snoke (sw0856), General Hux (sw0715), and the masked version of Kylo Ren (sw0663).
Collectibility
Medium. Kylo Ren remains a popular character for sequel trilogy fans, and this is considered one of his more 'screen-accurate' unmasked looks for The Last Jedi. Prices have remained stable but are not skyrocketing.
History
First introduced in 2015 for The Force Awakens, Kylo Ren underwent several design changes as his character evolved. This 2017 version marked the first release showing his facial scar without his helmet.
Interesting Facts
The scar on this minifigure was a point of discussion among fans because the wound was moved slightly in the film between Episode 7 and Episode 8, and this figure correctly reflects the 'updated' movie scar position.
Display Suggestions
Display next to Rey (Jedi Training) or Snoke to recreate the 'Throne Room' scene. Use a dark-themed or grey-brick stand to emphasize the First Order aesthetic. UV protection is recommended to prevent the flesh tone from fading.
Modification Potential
Excellent for creating custom Ben Solo figures or Knights of Ren MOCs. The torso printing is generic enough to be used for other dark-clothed warriors or custom Sith.
Overall Assessment
A solid, highly-detailed representation of a pivotal character. While common compared to rare exclusives, its unique torso and leg printing make it a standout for collectors of the Sequel Trilogy. Rating: 7.5/10.
