Rarity

Head
Unique molded rubber head piece in Light Bluish Gray with a dark grey miter-style hat attached as part of the mold. Features gold and red eye printing and Neimoidian facial wrinkles.
Torso
Dark Red base with Orange arms. Printing features a decorative Trade Federation ceremonial robe with a central panel showing Neimoidian patterns and jewelry.
Legs
Plain Dark Red standard legs without printing.
Accessories

Color Scheme
Dark Red, Orange, and Light Bluish Gray. This palette mimics the opulent but alien attire of the Neimoidian ruling class.
Printing Details
Moderate detail on the torso front and back. The head utilizes specialized pad printing on a soft-plastic/rubber mold which is prone to minor alignment shifts.
Variants
None. This is the only version of Lott Dod ever produced by LEGO.
Condition Notes
The rubber head is susceptible to dust collection and 'stickiness' if kept in humid environments. Check for paint rubbing on the eyes and the tip of the hat.

New: $25-$35 USD; Used: $15-$22 USD. Prices fluctuate based on the popularity of Clone Wars era collectibles.

Character Background
Lott Dod was the Senator representing the Trade Federation in the Galactic Senate. He is a secondary antagonist known for using bureaucratic red tape to hide the Federation's illegal activities.
Design Notes
Uses the same head mold as the Neimoidian Warrior (sw0536) and Vice Chair Mas Amedda (sw1237 variant), but with distinct color and print applications for this specific character.
Similar Minifigures
Nute Gunray (sw0242), Onaconda Farr (sw0315), and Neimoidian Warrior (sw0536).
Collectibility
High for 'The Clone Wars' completionists. He is a unique named character that filled out the 'Separatist' roster during the mid-2010s years of the theme.
History
Part of the 10th anniversary of the Prequel trilogy era sets, this figure was released during a period where LEGO was aggressively expanding the roster of political characters from the show.
Interesting Facts
Despite being a Trade Federation representative, this minifigure appeared in a Darth Maul set from Episode I, even though his design here is specifically based on his Clone Wars animated appearance.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside a Senate podium MOC or with other Separatist leaders like Count Dooku and Nute Gunray.
Modification Potential
The torso is often used for custom high-ranking fantasy mages or other 'regal' alien dignitaries due to its ornate robe printing.
Overall Assessment
B+. A solid, accurate representation of a niche character. The unique head mold is the standout feature, though the lack of leg printing keeps it from being an A-tier figure.
