Character Background
Gial Ackbar, the legendary Mon Calamari leader famous for the line 'It's a trap!', appearing here as a Resistance leader in the Sequel Trilogy.

A significant update from the classic 2009 mold, offering more accurate proportions and deeper colors to match the darker cinematic palette of The Force Awakens.
Similar Minifigures
Admiral Ackbar (sw0247), Admiral Ackbar (sw0493), Mon Calamari Officer (sw0808).
Collectibility
High. Ackbar is a fan-favorite legacy character. This specific version is desirable for collectors completing the Resistance fleet or Sequel Trilogy casts.
History
First Ackbar appeared in 2009. This 2016 version represents the first major change to his uniform color to match the Resistance era.
Interesting Facts
Despite his high rank, this figure uses a very simple torso print that mimics generic Resistance officers, making the head piece the primary value driver.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed alongside General Leia Organa or inside the 75140 Transporter. Use a clear acrylic stand to highlight the unique Mon Calamari head mold.
Modification Potential
The head can be swapped onto any Rebel/Resistance body to create custom Mon Calamari officers or MOC starship crews.
Overall Assessment
A solid B-tier collectible. While the torso is simple, the character's icon status and set exclusivity make it a valuable addition to an adult collection.
