Rarity
Common to Uncommon. While it appeared in several popular sets, it remains highly sought after for army building and is currently superseded by newer molds.
Head
Tan head wrap with detailed printing representing goggles and silver 'spikes' molded at the top. This version features a molded-in dark brown mask area with silver breather details.
Torso
Tan torso with detailed robe printing. It includes a double bandolier printed in reddish brown across the chest and waist, with detailed pouch designs. Back printing continues the robe texture.
Legs
Tan legs with hip piece. Features front printing of robe wraps and tattered edges, providing a more detailed look than earlier plain-legged versions.
Accessories
Typically comes with a Gaderffii (Gaffi Stick) built from a black technician's connector and a silver hook/spear head. This specific item is missing in the image provided.
Color Scheme
Primary color is Tan. Accents include Dark Brown for the mask/pouches and Flat Silver for the mechanical hardware and head spikes.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing. The bandolier alignment across the torso and hips is a key detail. This version (sw0620) is noted for having more intricate texture lines on the robes compared to the 2002 original.
Variants
Variants include the classic sw0052 (2002) with simple printing, sw1074 (2020) which has a slightly updated molded head, and sw1183 (2022) with updated robe details for The Book of Boba Fett sets.
Condition Notes
Common wear points include silver paint rubbing off the head spikes and goggles. The tan plastic is susceptible to UV discoloration (yellowing) if displayed in sunlight.
Estimated Value
Used: $4.00 - $6.00 USD; New: $7.00 - $9.00 USD. Value is stable due to the character's status as a 'grunt' unit for dioramas.
Price (New)
N/A (Individual figure). Originally bundled in sets ranging from the T-16 Skyhopper ($24.99) to the Sandcrawler ($299.99).
Compatible Sets
75081 T-16 Skyhopper (2015), 75059 Sandcrawler (2014), 75173 Luke's Landspeeder (2017), 75198 Tatooine Battle Pack (2018).
Character Background
Fearsome desert dwellers of Tatooine, also known as Sand People. Known for their aggression and mastery of the Tusken Gaderffii stick and Cycler rifles.
Design Notes
The sw0620 head mold was a significant upgrade from the earliest versions, adding 3D texture and depth to the Tusken's iconic breathing apparatus and goggles.
Similar Minifigures
Jawa (sw0590), Luke Skywalker (Tatooine), Obi-Wan Kenobi (Old), and newer Tusken Raider (sw1074).
Collectibility
High for army builders but moderate for rare-figure investors. It is an essential component for any Tatooine or Original Trilogy collection.
History
Follows the evolution of the 1999/2002 classic. This mid-2010s version represents the peak of 'pre-modern' Tusken detail before the 2020 face-lift.
Interesting Facts
The silver 'spikes' on the head represent blood-pressure sensors and moisture traps used by Tuskens to survive the desert wastes.
Display Suggestions
Display in groups of 3 or more on a tan (sand-colored) baseplate. Looks best paired with a Bantha or Luke's Landspeeder.
Modification Potential
Excellent for custom capes. Adding a brown fabric neck cape significantly enhances the 'nomad' aesthetic of this figure.
Overall Assessment
A solid, highly accurate representation of the character. While not the rarest figure, it is a high-quality staple for the LEGO Star Wars line.
