Head
Unique molded Kaminoan head/neck piece. White with large black almond eyes, subtle gray facial markings, and a long slender neck integrated into the piece.
Torso

The figure pictured includes a custom or non-standard cloth cape. The official release does not come with a cape; it features a printed high collar on the torso piece.
Color Scheme

High-quality pad printing on the head, torso, and the front of the slope/skirt piece. Features excellent registration on the delicate silver metallic lines.
Variants
This is the first and only official Taun We minifigure produced by LEGO. No official variants currently exist.
Condition Notes
The neck/head mold is somewhat top-heavy; check for stress marks at the neck base. The white plastic is prone to yellowing if exposed to UV light.

Character Background
Taun We is the administrative aide to Prime Minister Lama Su of Kamino. She greeted Obi-Wan Kenobi upon his arrival to inspect the Clone army.
Design Notes
LEGO waited 20 years from the release of Attack of the Clones to produce this character. The unique head mold solves the height/elongation issue of the species perfectly.
Similar Minifigures
Lama Su (if/when released) and other tall species like the 2023 Chewbacca or various Star Wars aliens with unique head molds.
Collectibility
High for Star Wars completionists. As a long-requested character, she is a cornerstone of Prequel-era collections.
History
Taun We's debut in 2022 marked a significant milestone as it completed the 'missing' main characters from the Kamino sequence of Episode II.
Interesting Facts
For years, fans made customs using thin tubes; LEGO eventually opted for a solid neck/head mold that sits on a standard torso stud.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside Obi-Wan Kenobi (sw1217) and R4-P17 on a clinical white baseplate or inside a Starfighter landing pad MOC.
Modification Potential
The figure in the image has been modified with a custom cloth collar/cape. Standard figures use the printed torso detail alone.
Overall Assessment
An excellent, highly accurate representation of a difficult-to-translate character. A must-have for Episode II fans.
