Year Released
First released in 2015 via the 75081 T-16 Skyhopper set.
Rarity
Uncommon. While not a limited promotional item, it was only included in three specific sets between 2015 and 2017.
Head
Tan head piece with detailed printing of wraps, goggles (with silver centers), and a dark gray rebreather at the mouth. It is a standard minifigure head shape (not a molded cowl).
Torso
Tan torso with brown bandolier (tousled straps) and specialized rebreather/chest equipment print. Features dark gray hands and tan arms with wrap-line printing details on the back.
Legs
Tan plain legs with a dark gray hip joint. Does not feature toe or side-leg printing.
Accessories
Typically comes with a Gaderffii (Gaffi Stick) made of a dark gray technics connector and a staff, or a long rifle. The figure in the photo is missing its accessories.
Color Scheme
Primarily Tan (Tan) and Dark Brown, with Dark Gray (Dark Stone Grey) hands and hips. Accents of metallic silver on the head printing.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing. Features 'frazzled' wrap edges on the toros and head, accurately depicting the worn desert robes of the Tusken Raiders.
Variants
This is sw0620 (2015). It differs from the earlier sw0052 (yellow heads/basic) and the later molded-head versions like sw1074 (2020) which utilize a unique rubberized head mold.
Condition Notes
Common wear includes 'play wear' on the head stud and cracking under the arms. The silver print on the rebreather is susceptible to rubbing or scratching.
Estimated Value
Used: $4.00 - $6.00 USD; New: $8.00 - $10.00 USD. Prices are stable given the newer molded-head version is now more common.
Price (New)
Originally available in Set 75081 ($24.99), Set 75173 ($19.99), and Set 75198 ($14.99).
Compatible Sets
75081 T-16 Skyhopper (2015), 75173 Luke's Landspeeder (2017), 75198 Tatooine Battle Pack (2018).
Character Background
Native Nomads of Tatooine, also known as Sand People. Known for their aggression and survivalist culture in the Jundland Wastes.
Design Notes
This version was a significant upgrade from the 2002 version, adding torso printing back-detail and a much more realistic face print before LEGO transitioned to dedicated head molds.
Similar Minifigures
sw0052 (Classic version), sw1074 (Molded head version), sw0895 (Tusken Raider with head spikes).
Collectibility
Moderate. It is essential for collectors wanting to represent the evolution of Star Wars figures, though many modern collectors prefer the newer molded-head versions.
History
Follows the second design generation of the Tusken Raider (2015–2018), bridging the gap between the 'Classic' look and the 'Modern' molded look.
Interesting Facts
Though they looks like masks, the printing on this head represents the actual facial wrappings and ocular enhancers required for Tuskens to survive the twin suns.
Display Suggestions
Display on a tan baseplate to simulate Tatooine sands, paired with a Bantha MOC or Luke's Landspeeder.
Modification Potential
Excellent for 'army building' sand-dwelling characters. The head print is popular for post-apocalyptic or wasteland MOCs.
Overall Assessment
A solid, mid-tier Star Wars figure. It represents a specific era of LEGO Star Wars design where printing detail exceeded the need for specialized molds.
