Rarity
Uncommon but highly sought after. Released only in a mid-range set during the first season of the Rebels show.

Features a dual-sided flesh-toned head with a confident smirk on one side and a determined expression on the other. Includes a bright orange hairpiece and a unique medium blue Mandalorian helmet with graffiti-style printing.
Torso
Dark bluish gray torso with sand blue Mandalorian chest plates, a brown utility belt, and colorful 'artist graffiti' markings. Back printing continues the armor and belt detail.
Legs
Dark bluish gray legs with printing showing knee guards, holster straps, and continued graffiti detailing in light blue and brown.
Accessories
Comes with two light bluish gray Westar-35 blasters. In the pictured set, she is often equipped with the large heavy weapon (a black stud shooter assembly) and a yellow/tan fabric cape.
Color Scheme
A complex mix of dark bluish gray, medium blue, sand blue, and orange, accented with purple and brown to reflect her artistic personality.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the helmet, torso (front/back), and legs (front). The helmet printing is particularly notable for its intricate 'owl' or star-bird variant design.
Variants
There are several versions of Sabine. This version (sw0616) features the medium blue helmet. Others include a version without a helmet (sw0742) and a later version with a different hair color and updated armor (sw0863).
Condition Notes
Watch for frayed edges on the cloth cape and scratches on the helmet printing. The stud shooter's spring mechanism can weaken over time.

Character Background
Sabine Wren is a Mandalorian warrior, explosives expert, and graffiti artist who joined the Ghost crew in Star Wars Rebels. She later became a key figure in the liberation of Lothal and a protagonist in the Ahsoka live-action series.
Design Notes
The helmet was a brand new mold for this wave to accurately capture the sleek feminine Mandalorian profile, distinct from the bulkier Boba Fett molds.
Similar Minifigures
Bo-Katan Kryze (sw1163), The Armorer (sw1161), and other Sabine Wren variants like sw1289 from the Ahsoka sets.
Collectibility
High. Mandalorian figures consistently hold value, and Sabine is a primary character with a dedicated fan base.
History
This was the first-ever version of Sabine Wren released by LEGO, marking the transition of Rebels characters from animation to brick form.
Interesting Facts
The 'eyes' on her helmet are a tribute to Convorees (owl-like birds) which have deep mystical significance in the Star Wars Rebels series.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed alongside Ezra Bridger and the rest of the Ghost crew. Use a clear stand to highlight the colorful helmet printing.
Modification Potential
Excellent for Mandalorian MOCs or 'The Mandalorian' era customs by swapping the head for more recent 'flesh' tones or updated hair pieces.
Overall Assessment
A quintessential Star Wars Rebels figure. While later versions have more accurate hair, this original 'helmeted' version remains a crown jewel for Mandalorian collectors.
