Rarity
Uncommon. While exclusive to one specific set, that set was a popular retail battle pack, making them widely available upon release but rising in value post-retirement.
Head
Standard Mandalorian 'T' visor helmet in sand blue with dark blue and grey printing. Underneath is a black 'trans-black' head piece representing the visor depth, as this figure does not have a human face print.
Torso
Sand blue torso with printed dark blue and grey beskar-style armor plates. Includes fine line detailing of the bodysuit and back plate printing. Arms are sand blue with blue hands.
Legs
Sand blue legs with printed knee guards and armor plating details. The hip piece is dark blue to match the secondary armor color.
Accessories
Standard black blaster pistol (small) or blaster rifle (medium). The figure is often equipped with a jetpack in sand blue or dark blue, though jetpacks are detachable.
Color Scheme
Primary Sand Blue with accents of Dark Blue and Light Bluish Gray. This scheme represents Bo-Katan Kryze's Nite Owl faction/Loyalists.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the torso (front and back), legs (front), and helmet. The printing accurately captures the geometric patterns seen in the animated series.
Variants
This specific figure is often confused with sw1088 (Mandalorian Warrior from the same set), which features a different helmet print and cape. This version (sw1089) has the 'Nite Owl' style helmet pattern.
Condition Notes
Common wear points include the 'chin' of the helmet and the heel of the legs. The sand blue plastic is generally durable and not prone to significant yellowing.
Estimated Value
Used: $12 - $18 USD; New/Mint: $20 - $25 USD. Prices vary based on whether the jetpack and weapons are included.
Price (New)
$14.99 USD (Retail price for set 75267, which included 4 assorted Mandalorians).

Character Background
These are Mandalorian warriors who remained loyal to Bo-Katan Kryze and the traditional values of Mandalore during the Siege of Mandalore project in The Clone Wars Season 7.
Design Notes
The figure uses the modern Mandalorian helmet mold with holes on the sides for rangefinders or visors, though none are included in the base set. The print is a clean translation of animation to ABS plastic.
Similar Minifigures
Bo-Katan Kryze (sw1163), Mandalorian Super Commando (sw0494), Pre Vizsla (sw0416), and the other warriors in set 75267.
Collectibility
High. Mandalorian figures are consistently some of the most sought-after in the Star Wars theme for army building and display.
History
Released during the peak of 'The Mandalorian' hype on Disney+, despite being based on The Clone Wars designs. It marked a return to affordable Mandalorian army building after years of high-priced exclusives.
Interesting Facts
Though these figures appeared in a set inspired by the live-action show's aesthetic, their armor patterns are direct references to characters from the animated series.
Display Suggestions
Ideal for dioramas depicting the Siege of Mandalore or urban combat scenes. They look best when displayed in flight using transparent 'action' stands.
Modification Potential
Extremely high. These are the gold standard for 'Mando-mercs' customizers. Parts can be swapped with other sets to create a diverse 'Covert'.
Overall Assessment
An excellent 9/10 figure for its price point. It offers great detail, a beautiful color palette, and high compatibility with other Star Wars sets.
