Figure ID
sw0183
Theme
Star Wars
Year Released
2008. Debuted in Set 7669 Anakin's Jedi Starfighter during the early transition to The Clone Wars branding.
Rarity
Uncommon. While available in high-volume sets, this specific version with yellow skin and reddish brown hair was a transitional figure before LEGO switched exclusively to flesh-toned Star Wars characters.
Head
Standard yellow minifigure head with a black dot eyes and a standard smile. It features no dual-sided printing, reflecting the era's simpler design language.
Torso
Dark brown torso with Jedi tunic printing. Includes a printed tan inner shirt, dark brown outer robes with a belt, and a silver/grey utility buckle detail. Brown arms and yellow hands.
Legs
Reddish brown unprinted legs with a reddish brown hip piece.
Accessories
Missing in image. Originally included a blue lightsaber with a chrome or matte silver hilt depending on the production run.
Color Scheme
Dominant tones of Dark Brown and Reddish Brown, accented by Yellow skin and a White/Tan inner tunic. The hair is Reddish Brown.
Printing Details
Pad-printed torso front and back. The quality is typical for late 2000s LEGO, with crisp lines but limited depth compared to modern digital printing.
Variants
Standard yellow-skin Anakin (sw0120) with tan hair; flesh-toned Anakin (sw0139) from the same era; and the Clone Wars 'stylized' version with large eyes.
Condition Notes
Prone to hairline cracks on the sides of the torso and loose arm joints. The reddish-brown legs are from a plastic era known for becoming brittle over time.
Estimated Value
$8.00 - $15.00 USD (Used/Complete). The torso alone is worth roughly $3.00 - $5.00 USD.
Price (New)
Contained in set 7669 which retailed for $19.99 USD in 2008.

Character Background
Represents Anakin Skywalker during the transition between Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith, specifically as seen in early Clone Wars media.
Design Notes
This figure is a 'hybrid' design, using the classic yellow skin tone while moving toward the modern reddish-brown hair color palette.

Collectibility
Moderate. It is highly nostalgic for builders who grew up in the late 2000s, but often overshadowed by the flesh-toned or classic 1999 versions.
History
Part of the final wave of 'Classic Yellow' Star Wars figures before the license fully committed to realistic flesh tones for movie-based sets.
Interesting Facts
The hair piece used here (part 3901) is the classic 'male hair' mold that dates back to the 1970s, showing LEGO's long-term reuse of iconic parts.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed in a 2005-2008 era collection or alongside the 7669 Starfighter. Keep away from direct sunlight to prevent yellowing of the head and hands.
Modification Potential
Excellent for 'purist' MOCs of other Jedi. The torso is a versatile generic Jedi robe useful for custom character background figures.
Overall Assessment
A solid, mid-era LEGO Star Wars figure. It lacks the detail of modern figures but carries significant charm for collectors of the 'Yellow Skin' era.
