Year Released
2003 (Released in set 10123)
Rarity
Ultra-Rare. This is widely considered the 'Holy Grail' of Star Wars minifigures produced for retail sets.
Head
Standard yellow head with black minimalist eyes and smiling mouth; hidden under a unique Sand Green Mandalorian helmet with T-visor printing and a rangefinder accessory.
Torso
Sand Green torso with detailed Mandalorian armor printing, a brown utility belt, and distinctive braided Wookiee scalps over the right shoulder. Features extremely rare arm printing on both sides.
Legs
Sand Green hips and legs with highly detailed printing including knee armor, utility pouches, and ankle-wraps. The presence of leg and arm printing was revolutionary for 2003.
Accessories
Includes a grey rangefinder, a black blaster rifle (standard short blaster with technician tool nozzle extension), and a rare dark grey cloth cape (pauldron).
Color Scheme
Sand Green, Dark Grey, Brown, and Yellow with accents of Red and Yellow in the printing detail.
Printing Details
Industry-leading for its time; features rare fine-line arm printing and front/side leg printing that was not standard for regular LEGO figures in the early 2000s.
Variants
This is the 'Cloud City' version (sw0107). Other variants include the non-printed leg/arm version (sw0002) and modern high-detail versions (sw1158), but sw0107 is the only one with this specific legacy print style.
Condition Notes
Prone to hairline cracks in the torso sides and heels. The arm printing can rub off with play. The cloth cape often frays at the edges. Value drops significantly if any cracks are present.
Estimated Value
New/Mint: $2,500 - $3,500; Used/Great Condition: $1,800 - $2,400. Prices fluctuate based on the crispness of the arm printing and lack of torso cracks.
Price (New)
Originally available in set 10123 Cloud City which retailed for $99.99 USD in 2003.
Compatible Sets
10123: Cloud City (2003 exclusive).
Character Background
Boba Fett is the notorious bounty hunter from the Star Wars Saga. This specific gear represents his appearance in The Empire Strikes Back during the Carbonite freezing sequence.
Design Notes
LEGO experimented with high-end printing for this 'Master Builder' style set. It was a massive leap forward in minifigure fidelity that wouldn't become standard for another decade.
Similar Minifigures
Boba Fett sw0002 (Plain legs/arms), Boba Fett sw0396 (Desert Skiff), and the White Prototype Boba Fett (2853835).
Collectibility
Maximum Tier. It is the centerpiece of most high-end Star Wars LEGO collections and has shown consistent price appreciation for two decades.
History
Launched in 2003 in a set that was initially a slow seller. Its rarity is due to the low production numbers of set 10123 and the unique parts not found in any other set.
Interesting Facts
For years, many collectors thought the arm printing was a custom fan modification because LEGO rarely did arm printing in that era. It remains one of the few figures where the legs alone can sell for over $500.
Display Suggestions
Should be kept in a UV-protected acrylic case. Do not display in direct sunlight as the sand green plastic and cloth cape are prone to fading.
Modification Potential
Low. Because of its extreme value, any modification or part swapping (other than with mint sw0107 parts) drastically reduces its market worth.
Overall Assessment
10/10. This is the definitive LEGO Star Wars collector's item. If genuine, it is a high-value asset and a masterpiece of early 2000s toy design.
