Rarity
Rare. Exclusive to a single set that has been retired for over a decade. High demand due to the character's popularity and the unique printing style of this era.
Head
Light Nougat head with a prominent black 'smiling' or 'smirking' facial expression and stubble. It is topped with a Dark Blue Mandolorian helmet with Silver/Grey markings and a hole for accessories.
Torso
Dark Blue torso with Dark Bluish Gray Mandalorian armor plating and brown utility belt printed on the front and back. Blue arms and Dark Bluish Gray hands.
Legs
Blue legs with a Dark Bluish Gray hip joint. Features a simple vertical line print on the crotch/hip area representing the flight suit detail, but lacks the foot printing found on some other Fetts.
Accessories
Includes a Pearl Light Gray rangefinder attached to the helmet. While not shown in the image, the official set included two small silver blasters and a dark bluish gray jetpack.
Color Scheme
Primary colors are Blue and Dark Bluish Gray, representing Jango Fett's pilot/combat gear from Attack of the Clones. Metallic silver accents appear on the helmet and chest armor.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing typical of 2013. The helmet features crisp silver detailing and a dark blue T-visor surround. The torso has sharp linework for the armor plates.
Variants
This is the 'Smile' variant. A similar version (sw0468a) exists from the same year but with a 'Frown' or angry expression. It is distinct from the 2002 'Balaclava' versions and the later 2017 versions.
Condition Notes
Prone to silver paint wear on the helmet crest and cracks in the torso under the arms. The rangefinder peg can become loose or snap if handled roughly.

Character Background
Jango Fett is the legendary bounty hunter and the genetic template for the Grand Army of the Republic. This version depicts him as seen during the Battle of Geonosis in Star Wars: Episode II.
Design Notes
This figure marked a significant upgrade from the 2002 version, introducing much higher detail in the chest plate and a more accurate blue color (replacing the sand blue of the original).
Similar Minifigures
Boba Fett (sw0396), Mandalorian Super Commando (sw0494), and older Jango Fett (sw0053).
Collectibility
High. Jango Fett is a top-tier collectable character, and this specific 2013 version is often considered the 'definitive' version of the character by many LEGO Star Wars fans.
History
Followed the 2002 original; this 2013 redesign was part of the 'Yoda Chronicles' packaging era and updated the character to modern detail standards.
Interesting Facts
Despite being an 'Attack of the Clones' character, this figure was released during the height of 'The Clone Wars' LEGO branding, leading to the stylized face printing.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside a LEGO Geonosian or a young Boba Fett. Use a clear stand to mimic a jetpack flight pose if a jetpack accessory is added.
Modification Potential
Excellent for purist customs; parts can be used to create custom Mandalorians for MOCs (My Own Creations) regarding the Siege of Mandalore.
Overall Assessment
An A-tier minifigure for any Star Wars collector. Its value has appreciated significantly due to its set exclusivity and the iconic status of the character.
