Year Released
Released in 2016. It debuted in set 75148 - Encounter on Jakku. This was during the height of the Star Wars sequel trilogy merchandise wave.
Rarity
Uncommon. This figure is exclusive to a single set (75148) which has since been retired. While not ultra-rare, it is highly specific to the Jakku landscape and hasn't been reissued.
Head
Features a unique olive green rubberized head mold with four integrated yellow horns/tusks and a distinct mask-like face with small black eyes. It covers the neck area entirely.
Torso
Medium Nougat torso with sand-blue and orange harness strap printing. Includes back printing of the equipment backpack and dark brown hands representing gloves.
Legs
Medium Nougat legs with detailed orange and gray strap printing that continues the harness design from the torso down to the upper shins.
Accessories
Commonly equipped with a brick-built staff or staff-like scrap stick. Note: In the image provided, the figure is missing its staff.
Color Scheme
Dominant Medium Nougat (tan/brownish) body with Olive Green head and Bright Yellow horn accents. Secondary colors include orange and dark brown.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on torso (front/back) and legs (front). The detail level reflects the rugged, scavenged look of Jakku's planetary Bewohner.
Variants
This is the only version of Teedo produced by LEGO. There are no known official variants or redesigns.
Condition Notes
The rubberized head piece can attract dust and is prone to slight discoloration if exposed to UV. Check for 'play wear' on the torso-hip joint which can cause the strap prints to misalign.
Estimated Value
Used complete: $8 - $12 USD. New: $15 - $20 USD. Value is largely driven by completion (having the head piece and staff).
Price (New)
Original set 75148 retailed for $59.99 USD in 2016. The figure was one of four included in the box.

Character Background
Teedo is a small reptilian scavenger species from the planet Jakku. In 'The Force Awakens,' a Teedo on a Luggabeast captures BB-8 before Rey intervenes.
Design Notes
The head is a highly specialized mold that capture's the alien's wrap-around mask and tusks. It is one of the more unique Star Wars alien molds from the 2010s.
Similar Minifigures
Unkar's Thug (sw0720), Rey (Scavenger version), and Tusken Raiders from the Tatooine sub-themes sharing the desert scavenger aesthetic.
Collectibility
Medium. Desirable for fans of The Force Awakens or collectors aiming to complete the 'Encounter on Jakku' scene, but niche compared to main characters like Kylo Ren or Rey.
History
Released during the first full year of Star Wars Sequel Trilogy sets. It represents LEGO's move toward more specialized molded heads for alien background characters.
Interesting Facts
The character Teedo is actually a telepathic species where all individuals share the name 'Teedo' and a hive-like connection.
Display Suggestions
Ideal for a desert diorama or on a custom Luggabeast MOC. Looks best when displayed alongside BB-8 and Rey's Speeder.
Modification Potential
The unique head mold is popular for custom fantasy or alien MOCs, while the harness-printed torso is useful for wasteland or post-apocalyptic custom figures.
Overall Assessment
A highly accurate representation of a minor but memorable character. The unique head mold makes it a standout for alien species collectors.
