Figure ID
90398pb008
Theme
Star Wars / Games
Year Released
2012 (Debuted in the LEGO Star Wars Battle of Hoth game)
Rarity
Uncommon to Rare; while mass-produced for a board game reaching the end of the LEGO Games line, it was never featured in traditional retail minifigure sets.
Head
Non-removable/Integrated. Features print of Chewbacca's face with brown eyes, black nose, and lighter brown fur highlights around the mouth.
Torso
Micro-scale bust design. Reddish brown base color with a characteristic silver/grey bandolier printed diagonally across the chest and back.
Legs
N/A; this is a 'Trophy' or 'Statue' micro-figure with a 1x1 stud footprint base instead of traditional legs.
Accessories
None included original to this mold, though sometimes displayed with 1x1 round plates as bases.
Color Scheme
Primary Reddish Brown with Metallic Silver and Black printing accents.
Printing Details
High-quality precision pad printing on a very small surface area. Includes 360-degree printing for the fur texture and bandolier continuity.
Variants
Standard version only; other 'Trophy' figures exist for characters like Darth Vader, Han Solo, and Boba Fett within the same sub-theme.
Condition Notes
Prone to 'chip' marks on the sharp edges of the base and nose due to the small size. Paint on the bandolier can rub off with heavy play.
Estimated Value
Used: $3.00 - $6.00 USD. New: $8.00 - $12.00 USD. Prices fluctuate based on the niche demand for micro-figures.
Price (New)
$24.99 (Original MSRP for the 3866 Battle of Hoth board game containing the figure).
Compatible Sets
3866 Star Wars: The Battle of Hoth (LEGO Games).
Character Background
Chewbacca, the legendary Wookiee co-pilot of the Millennium Falcon and loyal friend to Han Solo. This specific scale represents him as a game token.
Design Notes
Uses the 90398 'Trophy' mold, originally designed for the LEGO Games line to accommodate smaller-scale movement on brick-built boards.
Similar Minifigures
Han Solo (90398pb007), Rebel Trooper (90398pb005), Snowtrooper (90388pb009).
Collectibility
Moderate; highly sought after by Star Wars completionists and 'Micro-figure' collectors but often overlooked by standard minifigure enthusiasts.
History
Part of LEGO's experimental period from 2009-2013 where they produced board games with unique micro-scale components.
Interesting Facts
The scale of these figures is roughly 1:4 compared to a standard LEGO minifigure. This is one of the few ways to own a 'minimized' version of licensed Star Wars characters.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed inside a LEGO Star Wars MOC of a Rebel base or on a 1x1 pedestal inside a standard minifigure display case.
Modification Potential
Excellent for use as architectural statues in large-scale MOCs or as 'action figures' for standard-sized minifigures to hold.
Overall Assessment
A charming and affordable piece of LEGO Star Wars history. While not a true 'minifigure,' its unique mold and screen-accurate printing make it a 4/5 for niche collectors.
