Head
Reddish Brown skin tone, dual-sided facial expression: one side worried/concerned, the reverse side determined/angry. Black textured hair piece (mid-length Afro).
Torso
White First Order Stormtrooper armor base with tan/brown sandy weathering 'bloodstreak' or dirt marks on the right side. Includes detailed printing of a utility belt and ammo pouches.
Legs
White legs with standard First Order Stormtrooper knee and boot printing, featuring matching sandy 'battle damage' weathered prints specifically on the thighs and knees.
Accessories
Includes one black Medium Blaster (Blaster Rifle). The figure does not come with a Stormtrooper helmet in its original polybag form, emphasizing the character's unmasked debut.
Color Scheme
Primary white and black with sandy tan (Dark Tan) weathering accents across the torso and legs to simulate the desert of Jakku.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the head, torso (front and back), and legs. The weathering is meticulously aligned across the waist joint from torso to hips.
Variants
This is the 'FN-2187' variant. Other versions include Finn in his brown jacket (sw0676) and Finn in First Order Officer disguise (sw0872).
Condition Notes
The white plastic is susceptible to yellowing if exposed to UV light. Check the neck and torso for hairline cracks. The tan weathering print can rub off with heavy play.
Estimated Value
Used: $5.00 - $8.00; New (Sealed Polybag): $12.00 - $18.00 depending on region and market platform.
Price (New)
Originally available as a 'gift with purchase' (GWP) for spending $50+ or as a pre-order bonus, so it had no direct retail price.
Compatible Sets
Polybag 30605 (Finn FN-2187) and included with Deluxe Editions of the LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens video game.
Character Background
FN-2187 is Finn's designation as a First Order Stormtrooper before his defection. This figure represents him specifically during the village raid on Jakku.
Design Notes
A very accurate representation of John Boyega's character. The 'bloody' helmet streak from the film is omitted here in favor of generic sand weathering, likely for LEGO branding guidelines.
Similar Minifigures
sw0667 First Order Stormtrooper, sw0676 Finn (Jacket), sw0920 Finn (Bacta Suit).
Collectibility
Moderate. It is a must-have for completionist Star Wars collectors and those building 'The Force Awakens' era dioramas.
History
Launched during the height of Force Awakens hype, marking the first time a main protagonist was released in a specific 'dirty' variant of a grunt soldier outfit.
Interesting Facts
The torso and legs are unique to this figure due to the weathering prints; standard First Order Stormtroopers lack the dark tan 'sand' marks.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside Rey and BB-8 on a desert-themed baseplate or inside a First Order Transporter (75103).
Modification Potential
Excellent for creating custom First Order deserters or battle-worn troopers; head can be swapped with any standard First Order helmet.
Overall Assessment
A solid, detailed promotional figure that perfectly captures the character's pivotal moment. Highly recommended for fans of the Sequel Trilogy.
