Year Released
2017 - Debuted in set 75179 (Kylo Ren's TIE Fighter) alongside the theatrical release of Episode VIII.
Rarity
Uncommon - Exclusive to two sets from The Last Jedi wave; while not limited-edition, it is the only version to feature this specific combination of the scarred head and plain cape.
Head
Light Flesh dual-sided head with a distinct red facial scar across the right eye, black eyebrows, and a small mouth. Reversible showing determined and angry expressions. Includes medium-long black wavy hair piece.
Torso
Dark Stone Grey with detailed silver and black printing representing the padded tunic and belt seen in The Last Jedi. Back printing includes more tunic detailing and the continuity of the belt line.
Legs
Dark Stone Grey with printed patterns on the front and hips to match the tunic extensions and armored boots.
Accessories
Includes the signature crossguard lightsaber with a Trans-Red blade and a Light Bluish Gray hilts. Comes with a dark blueish gray sponge-style soft fabric cape.
Color Scheme
Dominant Dark Stone Grey (Dark Gray) and Black, accented with Light Flesh face tones and Trans-Red for the weapon.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the torso (front/back) and legs (front/hips). The facial scar detail is a precision print that differentiates it from the Force Awakens version.
Variants
Standard version (sw0885), masked version (sw0847), and Rise of Skywalker version with the reforged mask (sw1063/sw1085). The version in the image is the maskless Last Jedi iteration.
Condition Notes
The soft fabric cape is prone to fraying at the edges or wrinkling if stored poorly. Check for 'cape creep' where the neck hole stretches. Common wear on the lightsaber hilt chrome (if metallic) or plastic teeth marks.
Estimated Value
Used: $12 - $18 USD; New/Mint: $22 - $30 USD. Value is driven currently by collectors completing the sequel trilogy character rosters.
Price (New)
Originally included in sets retailing for $79.99 (75179) and $119.99 (75216), making it a mid-to-high tier investment at retail.
Compatible Sets
75179 Kylo Ren's TIE Fighter (2017) and 75216 Snoke's Throne Room (2018).
Character Background
Ben Solo, son of Leia and Han, as he appears after his duel on Starkiller Base. He serves as the primary antagonist/anti-hero in The Last Jedi under Supreme Leader Snoke.
Design Notes
This version reflects the 'unmasked' transition of the character. The leg printing is particularly effective at simulating the long robes/tunic without using a restrictive cloth piece.
Similar Minifigures
Luke Skywalker (sw0887), Rey (sw0866), and Supreme Leader Snoke (sw0874) from the same wave.
Collectibility
Moderate to High. As the central antagonist of the sequels, this maskless version is essential for recreations of the Snoke Throne Room scene.
History
Follows the initial 2015 hooded/masked version. This 2017 version marked the first time the facial scar was correctly positioned according to Ridley Scott's directorial changes.
Interesting Facts
The scar was moved slightly for the film The Last Jedi because the director thought the original placement from The Force Awakens looked 'goofy'; LEGO adjusted the printing to match.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed in a Snoke's Throne Room MOC or atop a display stand alongside Rey to represent their 'force dyad' connection.
Modification Potential
The head is often swapped onto Sith-style MOCs; the torso is excellent for generic dark-side acolytes or medieval knights because of its neutral dark plating.
Overall Assessment
An excellent representation of the character at his most conflicted state. The printing is crisp and the choice of a soft fabric cape was a significant upgrade over the stiff capes of the early 2010s.
