Rarity
Uncommon. Exclusive to a single mid-range set, though widely available during its retail production run.
Head
Specially molded olive green head with large yellow tusks/horns protruding from the sides and chin. Features small black eyes and detailed wrinkled skin textures. This is a unique species-specific mold.
Torso
Medium Nougat torso with sand-weathered Jakku scavenger gear. Printing includes a harness, buckles, and a small control panel. Back printing continues the harness and gear detail. Dark Brown hands and Medium Nougat arms.
Legs
Medium Nougat legs with printing that continues the orange and dark brown scavenging harness and utility straps from the torso. The hips match the base leg color.
Accessories
Commonly packaged with a brick-built staff (spear) and and a Luggabeast (set-scale build), though as a standalone figure, he typically carries a staff.
Color Scheme
Medium Nougat, Olive Green, and bright Yellow. Accents of Orange and Dark Brown represent the desert scavenger aesthetic.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the front and back of the torso, as well as the front of the legs. The head features minimal but precise eye and mouth printing over a complex mold.
Variants
None. This is the only version of Teedo produced by LEGO to date.
Condition Notes
The yellow tusks are made of a slightly softer plastic/rubber material (dual-molded) which can attract dust or show bite marks more easily than hard ABS plastic. Check for torso side-cracks.
Estimated Value

Character Background
Teedo is a Jakku scavenger of the same species name. In The Force Awakens, he is seen capturing BB-8 with a net before Rey intervenes and demands the droid's release.
Design Notes
Teedo represents an excellent example of LEGO's dedication to unique alien molds during the Disney era. The head mold capture's the character's distinct organic mechanical look without being a full 'helmet' piece.
Similar Minifigures
Unkar's Thugs, Rey (Jakku), and other scavenger types like the Jawas or Tusken Raiders.
Collectibility
Moderate. Highly desired by fans completionist Star Wars collectors, particularly those building Jakku-themed dioramas or 'The Force Awakens' collections.
History
First and only appearance in the 2016 summer wave. It marked the expansion of the Jakku marketplace scene beyond the initial 2015 Millennium Falcon release.
Interesting Facts
In the film, Teedo rides a semi-mechanical creature called a Luggabeast, which LEGO included in the set as the figure\'s primary 'accessory' and transport.
Display Suggestions
Display on a tan baseplate alongside Rey and a brick-built Luggabeast. Use warm, desert-toned lighting to highlight the Medium Nougat and Olive Green tones.
Modification Potential
The head is a very specific part; however, the torso and legs are excellent for 'Apocalypseburg' or generic wasteland/Post-Apocalyptic MOCs.
Overall Assessment
An excellently designed figure with a unique mold that remains highly accurate to the source material. A must-have for Star Wars: Episode VII fans.
