Figure ID
sw0446
Theme
Star Wars
Year Released
2013: Released during the transition from The Clone Wars animated style back to a realistic aesthetic.
Rarity
Uncommon: It appeared in multiple mainstream sets but has since been replaced by newer prints and head molds.
Head
Olive green rubberized head mold with printed small white eyes with black pupils. It features a realistic mold compared to the stylized Clone Wars 'big eyes' version.
Torso
Tan torso with printing representing Jedi robes with a dark tan/brown inner shirt and belt detailing. Arms are tan with olive green hands.
Legs
Short, non-bending tan legs. Unprinted, which is standard for most Yoda iterations of this era.
Accessories
Typically paired with a small lime green or metallic green lightsaber with a 1L chrome or silver hilt. Cane (brown bar) is also common.
Color Scheme
Primary colors are Tan and Olive Green. This was a significant shift from the 'Sand Green' skin tone used in earlier LEGO Yoda figures.
Printing Details
Simple but clean pad printing on the torso front and back. The eyes are the primary focus of the head mold printing, using a 'realistic' rather than 'animated' pupil style.
Variants
Variants include sw0707 (printed white hair on back of head), sw0051 (Classic Sand Green/Classic Eyes), and sw0219 (Clone Wars stylized eyes). This specific sw0446 has the plain olive head.
Condition Notes
The rubberized head is prone to attracting dust and can become sticky if exposed to direct sunlight or humidity. The tan torso is susceptible to 'torso cracks' on the sides under the arms.
Estimated Value
Used: $5 - $8 USD | New/Mint: $10 - $15 USD. Value is stable as it is a common 'modern classic' Yoda used for army building or MOCs.
Price (New)
N/A - Primarily available in sets ranging from $25 (75002) to $100 (75017) at retail.
Compatible Sets
75002 AT-RT (2013), 75017 Duel on Geonosis (2013), and 75142 Homing Spider Droid (2016).
Character Background
Grand Master of the Jedi Order. This version represents him as seen in Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith, during the height of the Clone Wars.
Design Notes
This figure marked the permanent shift to Olive Green as the official skin tone for Yoda, moving away from the Sand Green used for the previous 10+ years.
Similar Minifigures
sw1163 (Yoda with printed toes), sw0219 (Animated Yoda), sw0707 (Yoda with gray hair printing).
Collectibility
Moderate. It is the 'standard' Yoda for many collectors who dislike the stylized Clone Wars eyes but don't want to pay for the original 2002 version.
History
Followed the widely criticized 'giant bug eye' Yoda from the 2009-2012 Clone Wars era; seen as a return to form for the character's appearance in brick form.
Interesting Facts
Despite Yoda's age, this was one of the first versions of the figure to feature a mold that actually captures his 'sad/thoughtful' expression accurately.
Display Suggestions
Ideal for a Geonosis arena diorama or a Council Chamber MOC. Looks best standing on a plate alongside Prequel-era Obi-Wan or Anakin.
Modification Potential
Excellent for purist customs. The head can be swapped onto the sw0707 torso for a more detailed 'hair' look, or onto the 2021 torso for leg printing.
Overall Assessment
A solid, essential minifigure for any Star Wars fan. While not highly valuable, its accuracy to the source material makes it the definitive Yoda for many.
