Rarity
Common to Uncommon; though the specific arm-printed version was initially exclusive to one set, it has since become more accessible in various Mandalorian-themed sets.
Head
Plain black head element used to maintain the 'mask-always-on' lore of the character in early waves (later versions sw1212 included a flesh-toned face).
Torso
Beskar armor plates print with integrated bandolier across the chest and back. This version features highly detailed silver metallic ink on the armor plating and, crucially, printing on both arms representing Beskar shoulder pauldrons.
Legs
Dark brown legs with silver-toned Beskar thigh plate printing and detailed knee armor; printing extends to the hip piece for a continuous armor look.
Accessories
Typically includes a dark gray cloth cape and a black blaster pistol, or a long Amban sniper rifle (depending on the set).
Color Scheme
A palette of Metallic Silver, Flat Silver, Dark Brown, and Black, accurately reflecting the Beskar alloy aesthetic seen in the Disney+ series.
Printing Details
Premium quality; features full torso printing front and back, leg/hip printing, and most notably, side-arm printing which was a significant upgrade over the initial sw1085 version.
Variants
Variants include sw1085 (Pre-Beskar/Durasteel), sw1135 (Beskar with black head), and sw1212 (Beskar with Din Djarin's face and updated helmet).
Condition Notes
The silver metallic printing on the torso and arms can be prone to scratching or 'flecking' over time. Check for fraying on the dark gray cape at the neck hole.
Estimated Value
Used: $5 - $8. New: $10 - $15. Prices vary based on the specific weapon accessories included.
Price (New)
Originally available in Set 75299 (Trouble on Tatooine) for $29.99, which was a very affordable entry point for such a detailed figure.
Compatible Sets
75299 Trouble on Tatooine, 75312 Boba Fett's Starship, 75315 Imperial Light Cruiser, 75319 The Armorer's Mandalorian Forge.
Character Background
Din Djarin, a lone bounty hunter working in the outer reaches of the galaxy, who becomes the protector of a child (Grogu) and eventually a leader among his people.
Design Notes
The introduction of metallic silver ink specifically for the Beskar series provided a much higher level of screen-accuracy than previous flat-silver attempts.
Similar Minifigures
Boba Fett (sw1158), Paz Vizsla (sw1161), Bo-Katan Kryze (sw1163).
Collectibility
High; as the main protagonist of the most successful modern Star Wars media, this figure is a cornerstone for any modern LEGO Star Wars collection.
History
Represents the first major 'upgrade' of the Mandalorian figure to Beskar armor, replacing the brown 'Durasteel' version from 2019/2020.
Interesting Facts
The arm printing on this figure was highly sought after by fans because, for a short time, it was the only way to get a 'complete' Beskar Mando without paying for the Ultimate Collector Series (UCS) Razor Crest.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed alongside Grogu (sw1113) or within the cockpit of the 75325 N-1 Starfighter.
Modification Potential
Excellent for purist customs; collectors often swap the black head for a bearded flesh-toned head or add a jetpack element.
Overall Assessment
An essential modern minifigure that marks a high point for detail in the retail Star Wars line; the Beskar shine and arm printing make it a standout.
