Star Wars
Year Released
2022, released in the Summer wave alongside the Obi-Wan Kenobi Disney+ series.
Rarity
Uncommon to Rare. While the set was widely available, he is exclusive to a single, relatively high-priced flagship set.
Head
White head with Sith-style red eyes, vertical red facial markings above and below eyes, and a grimacing expression with teeth showing. No hair/gear is present on this specific sample, though he originally includes a black cape and a unique helmet/chest-plate piece.
Torso
Dark Stone Gray (Dark Bluish Gray) torso with printed black breastplate armor, red Rank Insignia, and detailed sash/belt printing. Standard black hands.
Legs
Dark Stone Gray (Dark Bluish Gray) with detailed printing continuing the Inquisitor uniform's tunic/skirt effect and boots.
Accessories
Missing in image. Originally comes with a black fabric cape and a unique circular-hilted red double-bladed lightsaber. The black shoulder armor is present on the figure's torso.
Color Scheme
A monochromatic Imperial pallet: Dark Bluish Gray, Black, and White, accented with Sith Red.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing. Continuous detail from the torso through the hips to the legs. Excellent facial detail capturing the Pau'an species biology.
Variants
This is the 'realistic' live-action version (2022). A previous 'animated' version (sw0625) was released in 2015 for the Star Wars Rebels line with a different head shape and armor.
Condition Notes
Common wear includes cape fraying (not applicable here) and clicking/cracking in the torso sides/armpits. Dark gray plastic shows scratches easily.
Estimated Value
Used (incomplete as shown): $15-$25. New/Complete: $35-$50. Price remains strong due to exclusivity to one set.
Price (New)

Character Background
The leader of the Inquisitorius, a group of former Jedi turned Jedi-hunters serving the Galactic Empire under Darth Vader. This figure specifically represents his appearance in the Obi-Wan Kenobi series.
Design Notes
LEGO opted for a standard minifigure head mold for the live-action version, whereas the 2015 Rebels version used a tall, specialized head mold to match the animation style.
Similar Minifigures
Fifth Brother (sw1217), Reva/Third Sister (sw1216), Darth Vader (sw1214), and the original Rebels Grand Inquisitor (sw0625).
Collectibility
High. Inquisitors are popular with collectors, and as a named antagonist from a flagship series, he is a core piece of modern Star Wars LEGO collections.
History
Follows the evolution of the character from animation to live-action. Part of the first wave of figures representing the 2022 Disney+ media era.
Interesting Facts
Despite being a Pau'an (a species known for very tall heads), this minifigure uses a standard head to better reflect the actor's look in the show compared to the stylized animation.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed inside or next to the Inquisitor Transport Scythe (75336) with his cape and signature circular hilt lightsaber.
Modification Potential
Excellent. Many fans swap the head for the older sw0625 version to create a more 'species-accurate' tall-headed Grand Inquisitor.
Overall Assessment
A top-tier antagonist minifigure. Even in its incomplete state shown, the torso and leg printing are exceptionally detailed and desirable for collectors.
