Star Wars
Year Released
2003
Rarity
Ultra-rare; as one of the most famous LEGO minifigures, it was exclusive to set 10123 Cloud City and is highly sought after by collectors.
Head
Standard black head cylinder (no face printing) meant to act as a visor/shadow behind the helmet; Sand Green Boba Fett helmet with distinctive red and black T-visor printing.
Torso
Dark Green torso with bounty hunter armor print (chest plates, braided wookiee scalps, and belt); unique dark green arms featuring side-printing representing shoulder pauldrons; light gray hands.
Legs
Sand Blue (often appearing gray-ish) hip and leg assembly with unique front and side printing for knee pads, pockets, and tool pouches.
Accessories
Brown fabric cape (pauldron) worn over the left shoulder and a black blaster rifle (standard 2003 era blaster).
Color Scheme
A mix of Dark Green, Sand Green, Sand Blue, and Dark Brown with silver/grey metallic accents.
Printing Details
Historically significant high-detail printing; this was the first Star Wars minifigure to feature both arm and leg printing, which was extremely rare at the time.
Variants
Standard Boba Fett (sw0002) has no arm/leg printing; sw1158/sw1217 are modern high-detail versions but lack the vintage aesthetic and value.
Condition Notes
Watch for fraying on the cape, arm cracks near the torso, and fading on the leg printing. The sand green helmet and dark green torso are prone to bite marks on used copies.
Estimated Value
Used: $1,500 - $2,500; New/Mint: $3,000 - $5,000 depending on the quality of prints and cape condition.
Price (New)
$100 USD (The price of the original 698-piece 10123 Cloud City set in 2003).
Compatible Sets
10123 Star Wars Cloud City (2003).
Character Background
The legendary bounty hunter Boba Fett, as seen in the Carbonite Freezing Chamber on Bespin during Empire Strikes Back.
Design Notes
A landmark in LEGO design; the introduction of arm printing was seen as a premium feature that wouldn't become common for another decade.
Similar Minifigures
Cloud City Luke Skywalker (sw0103), Cloud City Princess Leia (sw0104), and Lando Calrissian (sw0105).
Collectibility
Top-tier; considered the 'Holy Grail' for many Star Wars LEGO collectors alongside the solid gold C-3PO.
History
Initially released at a time when LEGO Star Wars was moving away from yellow heads to more detailed, film-accurate coloring and printing.
Interesting Facts
The arm printing on this figure was so expensive and difficult for LEGO to produce in 2003 that it was omitted from most other figures for years.
Display Suggestions
Should be kept in a UV-protected acrylic case; ideally placed on a Bespin-themed MOC or a high-end minifigure stand.
Modification Potential
None recommended due to high value; replacing any part with a modern version (even official) drastically reduces the collector value.
Overall Assessment
10/10 Score. This is the single most iconic and valuable 'standard' production Star Wars minifigure in existence. It is a mandatory buy for 'completionist' whales.
