Year Released
2021; debuted in the set 75318 The Trouble on Tatooine, though technically released as part of the 2021 Winter wave alongside the expansion of Disney+ Star Wars content.
Rarity
Uncommon; exclusive to only one retail set (75299) and a microfighter (75321). Its value is bolstered by the popularity of The Mandalorian Season 1.
Head
Unique molded head piece made of dual-molded light flesh and light bluish gray plastic. It features highly detailed printing of his goggles pushed up, facial wrinkles, and his signature Ugnaught jowls.
Torso
Sand blue torso with printed dark blue vest, brown utility belt with silver buckle, and light flesh hands. The printing includes realistic fabric creases and a small communicator device detail.
Legs
Dark brown unprinted mid-sized legs (slightly shorter than adult legs but with poseable joints), accurately reflecting the shorter stature of an Ugnaught.
Accessories
Typically comes with a small pearl dark gray blaster; however, in most scenes, he is associated with his Blurrg mount (not included in all sets).
Color Scheme
A muted palette of sand blue, dark brown, and light flesh, mirroring the grounded, 'lived-in' aesthetic of the outer rim planets in the Star Wars universe.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the torso front and back. The head mold is the standout feature, utilizing complex geometry and multi-layered printing to capture his alien likeness.
Variants
There are no official variants of this specific figure to date; all sw1155 figures across sets 75299 and 75321 are identical.
Condition Notes
The molded head is the most vulnerable part; check for paint rubbing on the goggles and nose. The sand blue torso can occasionally show stress marks at the arm joints.
Estimated Value
Used: $5 - $8 USD; New/Mint: $10 - $12 USD. Prices are stable but may rise as the original sets reach retirement.
Price (New)
Appeared in set 75299 'Trouble on Tatooine' ($29.99) and 75321 'The Razor Crest Microfighter' ($9.99). The Microfighter offered the cheapest way to acquire the figure.
Compatible Sets
75299 Trouble on Tatooine (2021), 75321 The Razor Crest Microfighter (2022).
Character Background
An Ugnaught vapor farmer on Arvala-7 who helped the Mandalorian. A former indentured servant of the Empire, his catchphrase 'I have spoken' became an instant cultural icon.
Design Notes
The use of the mid-sized poseable legs is a design win, allowing him to sit on a Blurrg while maintaining a height difference from Mando. The head mold is remarkably accurate to the animatronic mask used in the show.
Similar Minifigures
Ugnaught (sw0710), The Mandalorian (sw1135), and Grogu (the Child).
Collectibility
High for 'The Mandalorian' fans. While not extremely expensive, he is a primary character from Season 1, making him essential for a complete cast collection.
History
Kuiil marks only the second time LEGO has produced an Ugnaught-style figure, following the Cloud City version in 2016. This version is significantly more detailed.
Interesting Facts
The voice of Kuiil was provided by Nick Nolte, and the character's face was modeled after Nolte’s features, which LEGO designers captured in the facial wrinkles on the mold.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed next to the Razor Crest or in a desert MOC featuring a brick-built Blurrg. Use warm LED lighting to mimic the binary sunset of Tatooine.
Modification Potential
The head piece is popular for custom Ugnaught workers for Cloud City dioramas. The sand blue torso is also useful for various Star Wars rebel or civilian customs.
Overall Assessment
A fantastic, character-accurate figure that perfectly utilizes LEGO's modern molding capabilities. He is a must-have for Star Wars collectors at a very accessible price point.
