Theme
Star Wars
Year Released

Rarity
Uncommon to Rare. While the set was mass-produced, it is now retired, and Boba Fett remains the primary driver of the set's aftermarket value.
Head
Modern Flesh tone head with a determined expression, featuring scars and a 'grumpy' mouth; topped with a traditional Mandalorian helmet in Sand Green with a rangefinder and silver battle-damage printing.
Torso
Sand Green Mandalorian armor printing over a dark gray jumpsuit; includes 'damaged' silver scuff marks and a brown utility belt. It features dark green arms representing sleeves and dark gray hands.
Legs
Sand Green legs with silver printing at the knees to represent knee pads/armor, joined by a dark gray hip piece.
Accessories
Classic EE-3 carbine blaster rifle (built with a black lightsaber hilt and a nozzle element) and a Sand Green jetpack with matching metallic scuff printing.
Color Scheme
Primary: Sand Green and Dark Gray. Accents: Silver (battle damage), Dark Brown (utility belt), and Yellow (shoulder insignias).
Printing Details
High-quality modern pad printing. Features detailing on the helmet, torso (front and back), and legs. No arm printing on this specific version (sw1022).
Variants
This is a modern variant. It differs from the 2003 original (sw0054) which had solid colors and the 2015 UCS version (sw0610) which featured arm printing.
Condition Notes
Look for stress marks in the heels of the legs and cracks on the sides of the torso. The Sand Green plastic on the jetpack can sometimes show swirl marks from the molding process.
Estimated Value
$45 - $65 USD for the figure alone in used condition; $75+ for New/Mint condition.
Price (New)
Included in set 75243 which retailed for $119.99 USD.

Character Background
The galaxy's most notorious bounty hunter, Boba Fett is a clone of Jango Fett. He captured Han Solo for Jabba the Hutt and eventually fell into the Sarlacc pit (before surviving in later lore).
Design Notes
This design bridges the gap between the hyper-detailed UCS version and the simpler play-scale versions, making it a favorite for many collectors due to the color accuracy.
Similar Minifigures

Collectibility
High. Boba Fett figures are historically the most recession-proof investments in the LEGO Star Wars theme.
History
LEGO has produced Boba Fett since 2000. This 2019 version represents mid-era excellence before the 'The Book of Boba Fett' redesigns.
Interesting Facts
Though the set was for the 20th anniversary, this Boba Fett is not the 'retro' style figure included in the set; that was a special Lando Calrissian. This Boba is the updated 'modern' inclusion for the build.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed standing on the boarding ramp of the 75243 Slave I or in a display case alongside a carbonite-frozen Han Solo piece.
Modification Potential
Collectors often swap the arms with printed arms from the Cloud City (75222) version for the 'ultimate' play-scale figure.
Overall Assessment
An 8.5/10 figure. It is the definitive 'Empire Strikes Back' version for fans who don't want to pay the $500+ premium for the UCS version.
