Year Released
2013: Released as part of the 75015 Corporate Alliance Tank Droid during a period when LEGO was modernizing Star Wars designs with high-fidelity printing.
Rarity
Rare: Only appeared in one mid-range set. As the last highly-detailed Jango Fett released by LEGO for over a decade, demand significantly exceeds supply.
Head
Medium Flesh skin tone with a unique smiling expression and 'stubble' print. Includes a standard Mandolorian helmet with dark blue visor highlights and a rangefinder.
Torso
Flat Silver armor plates over a sand blue jumpsuit. Includes a brown utility belt and back printing. Features dark bluish-gray arms with black hands representing gauntlets.
Legs
Sand Blue with Flat Silver armor printing on the thighs and knees. Includes intricate belt and holster detailing continuing from the torso piece.
Accessories
Two short light bluish-gray blasters (pistols) and a dark bluish-gray jetpack (Mandalorian type). A light bluish-gray rangefinder is attached to the helmet.
Color Scheme
Sand Blue, Flat Silver, and Dark Blue. This scheme accurately reflects the cleaner, brighter armor worn by Jango in Episode II compared to Boba's green.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on torso (front/back), legs (front), and head. Features metallic silver ink that has a slight reflective sheen.
Variants
The main variant is sw0467, which features 'Angry' face printing; sw0468 (this version) is the 'Smile' variant found in the Tank Droid set.
Condition Notes
Common wear includes 'heel cracks' on the legs and silver paint rubbing off the torso. The rangefinder is easily lost. Sand blue plastic is relatively durable against yellowing.
Estimated Value
New: $350 - $450; Used Complete: $220 - $280. Prices are highly volatile due to the character's popularity and lack of recent remakes.
Price (New)
The set 75015 originally retailed for $19.99 USD in 2013, making this one of the best financial appreciations for a non-exclusive minifigure.
Compatible Sets
75015 Corporate Alliance Tank Droid (2013).
Character Background
The prime clone template for the Grand Army of the Republic and legendary bounty hunter. He is the 'father' of Boba Fett and was killed by Mace Windu on Geonosis.
Design Notes
This version introduced the sand-blue color palette which is considered much more movie-accurate than the bright violet-blue used in the 2002 version.
Similar Minifigures
sw0053 (2002 Classic Jango Fett), sw0845 (Boba Fett - Pauldron), and sw1092 (Bo-Katan Kryze).
Collectibility
Extreme: This is considered a 'Grail' minifigure for Star Wars collectors due to Jango's limited appearances in the LEGO lineup since the early 2000s.
History
Follows the 2002 original (sw0053). It represented a massive leap in printing technology, moving from simple block colors to detailed metallic armor textures.
Interesting Facts
Despite being a major character, LEGO has produced fewer Jango Fett figures than minor characters like Greedo or IG-88. The jetpack was originally a separate piece from the armor.
Display Suggestions
Display in a UV-protected case. Pairs perfectly with Mace Windu or a Geonosian arena MOC. Avoid direct sunlight to protect the silver metallic ink.
Modification Potential
Commonly modified with custom capes or third-party chrome jetpacks to match the 'shiny' appearance seen in Attack of the Clones.
Overall Assessment
10/10. A masterpiece of the 2010s era of LEGO Star Wars. It combines rarity, accuracy, and high-quality printing into a highly desirable investment piece.
