Year Released
2013 (First appeared in Yoda's Jedi Starfighter and TIE Fighter & Planet sets)
Rarity
Common to Uncommon. While it appeared in several sets between 2013 and 2018, it is the standard 'modern' Yoda with the molded rubber-style head.
Head
Olive green rubberized material with detailed molded wrinkles and white hair printing on the back; features large printed eyes and a slight smirk.
Torso
Tan Tunic with dark brown neck area and belt printing; includes a small dark grey pouch and vertical equipment details; tan arms and olive green hands.
Legs
Short Tan legs (non-articulated), matching the tunic color to represent his robes.
Accessories
Usually paired with a 3L reddish-brown bar (cane) or a neon-green lightsaber with a chrome or metallic silver hilt.
Color Scheme
Tan, Olive Green, and Dark Brown; a muted palette reflective of Yoda's Dagobah and Clone Wars appearances.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the torso (front and back); the head uses a specialized molding process with secondary color application for the eyes and hair.
Variants
Similar to sw0707 (which has different torso printing for the Dagobah version) and sw1141 (which uses the newer hooded torso).
Condition Notes
The rubber head is prone to collecting dust and can become sticky or discolored if exposed to UV; check for 'bite marks' on the soft head material.
Estimated Value
Used: $5 - $8; New: $10 - $15. Prices vary based on the hilt type (chrome vs. matte silver) of the included lightsaber.
Price (New)
N/A (Included in sets ranging from $14.99 to $99.99 retail).

Character Background
Grand Master of the Jedi Order, Yoda is a legendary character who appeared in nearly every era of Star Wars media. This version represents his look in the Prequels and Clone Wars.
Design Notes
This design marked a shift from the 'bug-eyed' Clone Wars style (sw0219) to a more realistic, screen-accurate puppet aesthetic.
Similar Minifigures
sw0051 (Classic Pitted Yoda), sw0219 (Clone Wars Yoda), sw0707 (Ragged Tunic Yoda).
Collectibility
High volume of supply but consistent demand; it is a staple for any Star Wars collection.
History
Follows the 2002 original and the 2009 'Big-Eyed' version; this 2013 version remains the definitive style for modern LEGO Star Wars.
Interesting Facts
The head is made of a different, softer material than the standard ABS plastic used for the rest of the body to allow for the fine wrinkle detail.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside a R2-D2 or Luke Skywalker in a Dagobah scene, or in a Jedi Council lineup using a custom brick-built chair.
Modification Potential
The head is frequently used for custom 'Baby Yoda' (Grogu) builds before the official piece was released; the cane can be replaced with a lightsaber.
Overall Assessment
An excellent, accurate representation of the character that corrected the stylized 'Clone Wars' aesthetic of previous years. Highly recommended for any fan of the Prequel era.
