sw0443
Theme
Star Wars
Year Released
2013 (Released in the set 75001 Republic Troopers vs. Sith Troopers)
Rarity
Uncommon to Rare. While it appeared in a mass-market battle pack, 'The Old Republic' sets have been discontinued for a long time, and market demand for Expanded Universe/Legends characters is high.
Head
Light Flesh head with printed dark bluish gray Sith mask/breather apparatus. The mask covers the lower half of the face with detailed venting and metallic highlights.
Torso
Dark Red torso with black and silver armor plating print, featuring a control panel with blue and red buttons. Dark bluish gray arms and black hands.
Legs
Dark Red legs with black and dark bluish gray armor printing on the hips and front of the legs.
Accessories
Commonly equipped with a red-bladed lightsaber (missing in image). The figure features a unique black Sith helmet with a silver Imperial-style crest on the forehead and side-flared shaping.
Color Scheme
Primary: Dark Red. Secondary: Black and Dark Bluish Gray. Accents: Silver/Metallic highlights based on the Sith Empire from the MMO game.
Printing Details
High detail for the era, featuring crisp lines on the chest control panel and symmetrical armor plating on the legs. One-sided head printing.
Variants
None. This specific print is unique to the 2013 Sith Warrior, though it shares design DNA with the Sith Eradicator from cinematic trailers.
Condition Notes
Susceptible to 'heel cracks' on the back of the legs and torso cracks under the arms. Silver printing on the helmet can rub off with excessive handling.
Estimated Value
Approximately $15.00 - $22.00 USD for Excellent/New condition; $10.00 - $14.00 USD for used condition.
Price (New)
Original set 75001 retailed for $12.99 USD in 2013, which included four minifigures ($3.25 per figure).
Compatible Sets
75001 Republic Troopers vs. Sith Troopers.
Character Background
Representing the Sith Warrior class from the Bioware MMORPG 'Star Wars: The Old Republic' (Legends continuity). These warriors served the Sith Empire during the Great Galactic War, approximately 3,600 years before the movies.
Design Notes
Notable for the 'Old Republic' specific helmet mold which mimics the Eradicator and Acolyte masks seen in the 'Hope' and 'Deceived' game trailers.
Similar Minifigures
sw0416 Pre Vizsla (due to the cape/armor aesthetic), sw0440 Republic Trooper, and sw0413 Darth Malgus.
Collectibility
High. 'Legends' era minifigures are rarely produced by LEGO now, making this a staple for collectors of the Expanded Universe.
History
Released in the second wave of LEGO's short-lived Old Republic sub-theme (2012-2014) meant to capitalize on the BioWare game's launch.
Interesting Facts
The helmet crest is actually the emblem of the True Sith Empire, which predates the Galactic Empire's symbol seen in the films.
Display Suggestions
Ideal for an army-building display or paired with Darth Malgus. Use a red lightsaber and a black cape to enhance the 'Eradicator' silhouette.
Modification Potential
Frequently used for 'Darth Vader' prototypes or custom ancient Sith MOCs. The head is popular for wasteland/post-apocalyptic custom figures.
Overall Assessment
A standout figure from the battle pack era. Its unique helmet and striking dark red color scheme make it a high-quality representation of the source material. Rating: 8.5/10.
