Theme
Star Wars
Year Released
2013 (Released in January with set 75002 AT-RT and 75017 Duel on Geonosis)
Rarity
Uncommon. While primarily distributed in mid-range sets during 2013, it was later replaced by the newer 'Clone Wars' stylized versions and the more modern 'soft ear' rubberized molds.
Head
Olive Green rubberized material with printed eyes and forehead wrinkles. This specific mold features the 'realistic' style used for Prequel-era and Original Trilogy sets, distinct from the 'big-eyed' Clone Wars animated versions.
Torso
Tan torso with brown and dark orange tunic printing. The design features a layered robe look with a dark orange inner shirt and a dark brown belt line. Back printing continues the robe fold details.
Legs
Short Tan legs, non-articulated. These are the fixed 'small' legs used to represent shorter characters like Yoda or Ewoks.
Accessories
Includes one green lightsaber with a metallic silver (chrome-look) hilt. In the pictured set, the blade is trans-bright green.
Color Scheme
The primary palette consists of Olive Green (skin), Tan (robes), Dark Orange (undershirt), and Dark Brown (accents).
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the torso (front and back). The eyes are precisely printed on the olive green head mold with white highlights and black pupils.
Variants
Variants include sw0707 (similar but with different robe shades) and the older sw0001 (Classic Yellow) and sw0113 (Sand Green). This sw0446 is the definitive 'realistic' olive green version from the early 2010s.
Condition Notes
The rubberized head can attract dust and is prone to slight discoloration if exposed to UV. Check for 'neck cracks' on the tan torso and ensure the silver hilt hasn't lost its metallic sheen.
Estimated Value
New: $15-$25 USD; Used Complete: $8-$12 USD. Prices fluctuate based on the condition of the rubber head piece.
Price (New)
Originally available in sets ranging from $19.99 (75002) to $39.99 (75017).
Compatible Sets
75002 AT-RT, 75017 Duel on Geonosis, and the 2013 Star Wars Advent Calendar (75023).
Character Background
Yoda, the Grand Master of the Jedi Order. This specific outfit represents his appearance during the Prequel trilogy (Episodes II and III) and The Clone Wars, emphasizing his role as an active warrior and general.
Design Notes
This version marked a significant transition from the 'cartoony' Clone Wars face to a more cinematic, accurate representation. The use of Olive Green was a major color-matching update for the character.
Similar Minifigures
sw0113 (Sand Green Yoda), sw0707 (Yoda with updated torso), and sw1145 (The Child/Grogu).
Collectibility
High. This is often considered the 'standard' modern Yoda for many collectors who prefer the realistic style over the 2008 animated series aesthetics.
History
Follows the evolution from the 2002 yellow-skinned Yoda to the 2004 sand green transition, finally landing on olive green in 2013 to better match his on-screen puppet and CGI counterparts.
Interesting Facts
The image provided is actually from the official box art of set 75002. Note the 'motion blur' effect applied to the lightsaber which is only present in marketing materials, not the actual physical toy.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside Count Dooku (sh0472) to recreate the Duel on Geonosis, or place within a Jedi Council MOC. Keep away from direct sunlight to protect the rubber head composition.
Modification Potential
The head is interchangeable with other small figures; the tan robes are excellent for custom Jedi padawan MOCs using short legs.
Overall Assessment
A quintessential Star Wars minifigure. It successfully captures the wisdom and power of the character while utilizing what was then a brand-new color palette for the species.
