Theme
Star Wars
Year Released
2009. This figure debuted in the Corporate Alliance Tank Droid (7752) and the Mace Windu's Jedi Starfighter (8019) at the peak of the LEGO Star Wars 10th anniversary year.
Rarity
Uncommon. While highly recognizable, it was produced for several years (2009-2011) across multiple sets, making it widely available on the secondary market but increasingly desirable for fans of the animated aesthetic.
Head
Brown head with specialized 'Clone Wars' stylized eyes featuring white pupils and black irises. Single-sided printing with a serious/determined expression and subtle brow lines. No hair/headgear.
Torso
Dark tan Jedi robes with high neckline showing a dark brown undershirt. Simple robe fold lines on front and back. Dark tan arms with reddish-brown hands to match his skin tone.
Legs
Plain dark tan legs with dark tan hip piece. Note: The image provided shows some damage or staining on the right lower leg, which is not part of the official print.
Accessories
Missing in image. Originally came with a purple lightsaber with a chrome or metallic silver hilt. Some set appearances included a white clone trooper-style belt/armor piece or a jetpack depending on the set context.
Color Scheme
Primary colors are Dark Tan for the Jedi robes and Reddish Brown for the skin and hands. Accent colors include Dark Brown for the belt and undershirt.
Printing Details
Features the unique 'wide-eye' printing style exclusive to the 2008-2014 Clone Wars era. Front and back torso printing is present. Leg printing is absent (plain). The alignment is typically consistent with 2009-era pad printing standards.
Variants
This is the primary 'Clone Wars' variant. It differs from the 2005 version (sw0132) which had transparent eyes and the 2012+ versions (sw0417) which moved to realistic flesh tones.
Condition Notes
Common wear points include the reddish-brown hands (splitting) and the torso (cracking under arms). The torso print is prone to rubbing at the belt line. The sample in the photo shows significant staining/browning on the right leg.
Estimated Value
$10.00 - $18.00 USD for used complete; $25.00+ for new according to current BrickLink/eBay averages. Value is lowered significantly by the leg damage in the photo.
Price (New)
Retail sets ranged from $24.99 (7752) to $39.99 (8019). Figure value was originally roughly $4-5 out of the box.
Compatible Sets
7752 Corporate Alliance Tank Droid (2009), 8019 Mace Windu's Jedi Starfighter (2009), 7868 Mace Windu's Jedi Starfighter (2011), and 30050 Mini Republic Attack Shuttle (as a promotional pack-in).
Character Background
Jedi Master and member of the Jedi High Council. Mace Windu is world-renowned for his unique purple lightsaber and Form VII combat. This version represents his look in the animated 'Clone Wars' series.
Design Notes
A perfect example of LEGO's 'Big Eyes' experimental phase for animated characters. The mold is standard, but the graphic design intended to mirror the 3D animation of the TV show.
Similar Minifigures
sw0132 (Light Flesh Mace Windu), sw0417 (Pouldron Mace Windu), sw1146 (Skywalker Saga era Mace Windu), and other Clone Wars Jedi like sw0197 Obi-Wan Kenobi.
Collectibility
Moderate. It is a 'must-have' for completionists of the Clone Wars sub-theme, though many collectors prefer the modern 'realistic' faces over the stylized eyes of this period.
History
Represents the first major redesign of Mace Windu since the transition from yellow to flesh tones in 2004/2005. It was the standard Mace Windu for nearly four years during the show's prime.
Interesting Facts
The reddish-brown head piece for this figure was one of the most accurate skin-tone matches LEGO had produced for Samuel L. Jackson up to that point, despite the stylized eyes.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed with a translucent purple lightsaber blade. Pairs perfectly with 2009-style Clone Troopers and his signature Delta-7B Starfighter.
Modification Potential
High. The legs are plain, so collectors often swap them for modern printed legs from newer Mace Windu figures to create a hybrid 'Ultimate' Clone Wars version.
Overall Assessment
A nostalgic and distinctive minifigure from a transitional era of LEGO design. While the leg condition on this specific unit is poor, the figure remains a core piece of Star Wars prequel history. Rating: 7/10 for design, 5/10 for current value.
