Year Released
2016 - Released in set 75157 Captain Rex's AT-TE; coincided with Season 2 of the Rebels animated series.
Rarity
Rare. This minifigure was exclusive to a single, relatively expensive set that has since been retired (75157). Its value has increased significantly due to character popularity and set exclusivity.
Head
Light Aqua head with dark grey and black markings representing the character's facial tattoos and Pau'an features. It features a unique Flat Silver helmet/hat piece specific to this character design.
Torso
Dark Bluish Gray torso with detailed front and back printing of Inquisitor armor. It includes a specialized Dark Bluish Gray shoulder armor neck bracket piece (6135278) that adds bulk and holds the lightsaber on the back.
Legs
Dark Bluish Gray legs with black and light gray topographical printing representing the combat tunic and boots seen in the Rebels series.
Accessories
Unique Inquisitor lightsaber hilt in Pearl Dark Gray with two Trans-Red lightsaber blades. The hilt is a specialized circular mold designed to resemble the spinning blades from the animation.
Color Scheme
A muted palette of Dark Bluish Gray, Black, and Light Aqua, accented by the Pearl Dark Gray hardware and Trans-Red blades.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the head, torso (front and back), and legs. The alignment is typically very precise, consistent with mid-2010s Star Wars premium figures.
Variants
There are no official variants of this specific sw0747 version. He was later redesigned for the 'Obi-Wan Kenobi' series (sw1230), but that is a live-action styled figure and distinctly different from this Rebels version.
Condition Notes
The Dark Bluish Gray plastic is durable, but the helmet piece can suffer from 'play wear' scratches. Check for stress marks in the neck bracket and ensures the lightsaber hilt isn't bent, as it is a thin mold.
Estimated Value
Current market value is approximately $65 - $85 USD for a used complete figure. New/Mint condition can exceed $100 USD. The lightsaber hilt alone is a high-value part.
Price (New)
The original set (75157) retailed for $119.99 USD in 2016. The figure was never sold individually.
Compatible Sets
75157 Captain Rex's AT-TE (2016).
Character Background
The Fifth Brother is a member of the Inquisitorious, a group of dark-side Force sensitive agents who hunt surviving Jedi for the Galactic Empire. He debuted in Star Wars Rebels and later appeared in the Obi-Wan Kenobi live-action series.
Design Notes
Features a unique helmet mold and shoulder armor. The design perfectly captures the 'animation' aesthetic of Rebels, which used more angular and simplified shapes compared to the movie-based figures.
Similar Minifigures
Seventh Sister Inquisitor (sw0748), The Grand Inquisitor (sw0625), and Eighth Brother (custom or later iterations).
Collectibility
High. Inquisitors are highly sought after by Star Wars completionists. With the expansion of the 'Inquisitorius' lore in Disney+ shows, demand for the original Rebels versions has surged.
History
Part of the second wave of Star Wars Rebels sets. It marked the first time the Fifth Brother was immortalized in LEGO form, utilizing then-new mold technology for the circular hilt.
Interesting Facts
The lightsaber hilt is designed so it can be attached to the back of the shoulder armor, mirroring how the characters store their weapons in the show.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside the Seventh Sister and the Grand Inquisitor on a black sleek stand to represent the Inquisitorius. Looks best against a grey/Imperial themed MOC backdrop.
Modification Potential
The head and helmet are frequently used by customizers to create other Pau'an characters. The torso is excellent for generic dark-side warrior or sci-fi soldier MOCs.
Overall Assessment
An excellent 9/10 figure for collectors. It features unique molds and high-quality printing. It is a standout piece of the Rebels sub-theme and a solid investment for Star Wars fans.
