Year Released
2021 context: Debuted in set 75299 'Trouble on Tatooine'. This version marked a significant upgrade in Mandalorian minifigure detail, specifically introducing official arm printing to the character.
Rarity
Common to Uncommon. While it appeared in a relatively affordable retail set, sw1135 is specifically noted for its arm printing which is absent in earlier and some later cheaper versions.
Head
Silver Metallic Mandalorian Helmet with T-visor printing. Beneath the helmet is a plain black 'head' piece (standard for early Mandalorian figures before the Din Djarin face print was introduced in 2022).
Torso
Dark Brown Torso with Silver Beskar armor plates, brown bandolier, and belt printing. This specific variant (sw1135) features detailed armor and sigil printing on the right arm.
Legs
Dark Brown legs with printing continuing the Beskar thigh armor and knee plates. No side leg printing.
Accessories
Standard Black blaster pistol (small) and a jetpack (often included, though the image shows a rangefinder/antenna attached to the helmet which is a common customization or included part). Includes a black 3x4 CMF-style display stand in the photo.
Color Scheme
Primary colors are Dark Brown and Metallic Silver (Beskar). Accents include reddish-brown for the leather straps and black for the visor and joints.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the torso (front/back), legs, and specifically the right arm. The silver ink has a reflective metallic finish to simulate Beskar steel.
Variants
sw1085 (No arm printing), sw1212 (Printed face with different helmet shade), sw1164 (Chrome helmet from UCS Razor Crest). This specific version is identifies by the arm printing and solid black head.
Condition Notes
The silver metallic ink on the helmet and torso is prone to scratching. Check for 'silvering' wear on the edges of the helmet and cracks in the dark brown plastic (hips/torso) which can be brittle.
Estimated Value
New: $12 - $18 USD; Used: $8 - $12 USD. Prices fluctuate based on the availability of the newer 2023 versions with face prints.
Price (New)
Originally available in Set 75299 for $29.99 USD, which included the Child (Grogu) and a Tusken Raider.
Compatible Sets
75299 Trouble on Tatooine, 75312 Boba Fett's Starship (Slave I), 75315 Imperial Light Cruiser.
Character Background
Din Djarin, a bounty hunter and ward to Grogu. This figure represents his appearance after receiving his full set of Beskar armor from the Armorer on Nevarro.
Design Notes
The arm printing was a major fan request fulfilled in this wave. The helmet mold is the standard modern Mandalorian mold with a slightly more refined silver finish than the 2019 version.
Similar Minifigures
Boba Fett (sw1158), Bo-Katan Kryze (sw1163), Paz Vizsla (sw1172).
Collectibility
High demand among Star Wars fans. While common, the 'Beskar' look is the character's most iconic appearance, making it a staple for any modern LEGO Star Wars collection.
History
Follows the 'Durasteel' Mandalorian (sw1077) from late 2019. This version represents the evolution of the character into his shiny 'hero' armor.
Interesting Facts
The black head underneath was used to maintain the mystery of the character's face before the Season 2 finale reveal led to the creation of a 'flesh' colored head variant.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside Grogu (sw1113) and the Razor Crest. Looks best under cool-white LED lighting to catch the metallic silver printing.
Modification Potential
Commonly modified by adding the Beskar spear from later sets or the upgraded Din Djarin face (part 3626cpb3149).
Overall Assessment
An essential minifigure for the modern era. The addition of arm printing makes this specific ID (sw1135) superior to the initial Beskar release. Quality rating: 9/10.
