Figure ID
sw1164
Theme
Star Wars
Year Released
2021 (August), released in the Mandalorian Starfighter set during the final season wave of The Clone Wars line.
Rarity
Uncommon. While not limited to a convention, it appeared in only one mid-priced set (75316) that is currently retired, increasing its desirability among army builders.
Head
Standard Mandalorian black 'shadow' head used for helmeted figures to hide face details; topped with a Sand Blue Mandalorian helmet with dark blue and black printing.
Torso
Dark Blue torso with silver Mandalorian armor plating and a brown belt; the back features continuous armor printing and a small jetpack mounting point detail.
Legs
Dark Blue legs with hip and knee printing; features silver armor plates on the knees and shins with light blue highlights to match the clan aesthetic.
Accessories
Includes two black short blaster pistols and a grey rangefinder attachment (visible on the helmet in this image). Some versions also include a dark blue jetpack (missing in some displayed poses).
Color Scheme
Primary Dark Blue and Sand Blue with Silver (Metallic) accents. This palette represents the Bo-Katan Kriz led 'Loyalist' faction of the Nite Owls/Death Watch.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the helmet, torso, and legs. Features crisp silver metallic ink that reflects light well, and detailed line work on the helmet's T-visor.
Variants
This is the primary version; it is often compared to the Mandalorian Super Commando (Zabrak-influenced) or the specific Bo-Katan minifigure which shares similar colors but unique prints.
Condition Notes
Watch for 'helmet rub' where the printing on the visor can scratch against other bricks. The rangefinder attachment point (the small hole in the helmet) can become loose over time.
Estimated Value
New/Mint: $18.00 - $25.00 USD. Used Complete: $12.00 - $16.00 USD. The value has steadily increased since the set 75316 retired.
Price (New)
Retail price of set 75316 was $59.99 USD, which included three unique Mandalorian figures (Bo-Katan, Gar Saxon, and this Loyalist).
Compatible Sets
75316 Mandalorian Starfighter (2021).
Character Background
Part of the resistance group during the Siege of Mandalore in Season 7 of The Clone Wars. These soldiers remained loyal to the throne of Mandalore against Darth Maul’s takeover.
Design Notes
A significant upgrade over the 2011/2012 era Death Watch Mandos; uses more screen-accurate 'Dark Blue' rather than the older 'Regular Blue' and features much more intricate leg printing.
Similar Minifigures
sw1163 (Bo-Katan Kryze), sw0296 (Death Watch Mandalorian), sw1165 (Gar Saxon), and sw1085 (Mandalorian Warrior).
Collectibility
High. Mandalorian figures are currently the most popular 'army builder' sub-category in LEGO Star Wars, ensuring consistent demand and price stability.
History
Represents the evolution of Mandalorian design from the simplified 'Classic' looks to the modern, highly-detailed aesthetic seen in the Disney+ era of LEGO sets.
Interesting Facts
The 'Nite Owl' helmet print is slightly different from Bo-Katan’s to indicate a rank-and-file soldier rather than royalty/leadership.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed in a 'Siege of Mandalore' MOC alongside Bo-Katan and Ahsoka Tano, or in a tiered acrylic case with other Mandalorian factions.
Modification Potential
Excellent for purist customs; the helmet and legs are frequently used to create other custom Nite Owl members or generic warriors.
Overall Assessment
A top-tier soldier minifigure. The printing is dense and accurate, and the color palette is striking. A 9/10 for any Star Wars collector due to its specific historical context in 'The Clone Wars'.
