Figure ID
sw1085
Theme
Star Wars
Year Released
2020 (Released in Set 75292 'The Razor Crest')
Rarity
Uncommon. While not limited to a convention, this specific version was exclusive to early luxury sets like the Razor Crest and the AT-ST Raider, later replaced by the Beskar version.
Head
Solid Black Head. Underneath the helmet is a plain black head piece as the character's face was not revealed at the time of the figure's initial design.
Torso
Dark Brown Torso with reddish-brown armor plates, ammo belt, and weathering. Arms are dark brown with light bluish gray hands.
Legs
Light Bluish Gray Legs with printed armor detailing on the thighs, featuring mismatched brown and yellow plates to represent the early 'scrap' armor look.
Accessories
Flat Silver Mandalorian Helmet with T-visor print, Dark Gray Cape (frequently included but missing or tucked in some photos), and typically a long sniper rifle (Amban Phase-pulse blaster).
Color Scheme
A mix of Dark Brown, Light Bluish Gray, and Flat Silver, accented by reddish-brown and mustard yellow highlights on the armor.
Printing Details
Highly detailed pad printing on the torso and legs including battle damage (scratches). No back printing on the head; standard Mandalorian helmet print quality.
Variants
This is the 'Durasteel' version. Variants include sw1135 (Beskar armor), sw1212 (Beskar with face print), and sw1164 (Beskar with cape and jetpack).
Condition Notes
Check for 'helmet chin' stress marks from the neck stud. The cape is prone to fraying at the edges. Monitor the silver metallic print on the helmet for rubbing/fading.
Estimated Value
Used: $8 - $12 USD; New: $15 - $20 USD. Value is held back by the high popularity of the later Beskar versions.
Price (New)
Contained in sets ranging from $49.99 (AT-ST Raider) to $129.99 (Razor Crest).
Compatible Sets
75292 The Razor Crest, 75254 AT-ST Raider, and formerly available in some LEGO Star Wars Magazines.
Character Background
Din Djarin, a Mandalorian bounty hunter who protects a child (Grogu). This outfit represents his appearance in early Season 1 before receiving his full Beskar upgrade.
Design Notes
Significant for being the first-ever LEGO version of the titular character. The choice of a black head reflects the 'This is the Way' creed of never removing the helmet.
Similar Minifigures
sw1135 (Beskar Mando), sw1166 (Paz Vizsla), sw10th (Boba Fett - Classic), sw1193 (The Armorer).
Collectibility
High for completionists wanting every version of Mando. Moderate for casual fans who usually prefer the more iconic shiny Beskar version.
History
Debuted in late 2019/early 2020 alongside the launch of the Disney+ series. It marked LEGO's shift into the 'Mando-verse' era of sets.
Interesting Facts
Early leaks of this figure were highly sought after. Despite being the main character, he did not get a revealed face print in LEGO form until several years later.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside Grogu (Baby Yoda) and a Razor Crest micro-build. Use a transparent stand to mimic the jetpack flight (though this version lacks a jetpack).
Modification Potential
Commonly modified by fans adding a brown cape or custom printed arms. The head can be swapped with a Pedro Pascal-like face from other lines.
Overall Assessment
A solid, detailed figure that perfectly captures the 'gritty' aesthetic of the show's beginning. Essential for any Star Wars collection.
