Figure ID

Theme
Star Wars
Year Released
2022. It debuted in Obi-Wan Kenobi's Jedi Starfighter (75333) marking the 20th anniversary of Attack of the Clones.
Rarity
Uncommon. While exclusive to one set, that set is a mass-produced, affordable retail set, making the figure accessible but unique.
Head
Unique molded Kaminoan head. A specialized piece features a long neck and head as one unit, with grey and white printing for eyes and facial details.
Torso
White torso with Sand Blue arms and white hands. Printing includes Kaminoan robes with a high collar and belt details on both front and back.
Legs
2x2x2 sloped brick (dress) instead of standard legs. Features Sand Blue and grey printing to represent the bottom of her formal robes.
Accessories
None included by default in the image. In the set, she is often accompanied by a holographic project plate representing a communication device.
Color Scheme
Primary white with accents of Sand Blue and Light Bluish Gray. This palette mimics the sterile, aquatic aesthetic of Kamino.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on a unique mold. Detailed patterns on the torso and the front of the sloped dress piece. The head has sharp eye prints.
Variants
Standard version as seen in 75333. There are no other official LEGO Kaminoan minifigures currently produced.
Condition Notes
Main concern is the specialized neck/head mold which can be prone to stress marks if twisted forcefully. Sloped bricks can show scratches more easily than standard legs.
Estimated Value
Used: $8 - $12 USD. New: $12 - $15 USD. The value remains stable due to the set still being relatively accessible in the secondary market.
Price (New)
$29.99 (Retail price of set 75333). This is the only way to acquire the figure officially through retail.
Compatible Sets
75333 Obi-Wan Kenobi's Jedi Starfighter.
Character Background
Taun We is an administrative aide on the planet Kamino. She greeted Obi-Wan Kenobi upon his arrival to inspect the clone army in Episode II.
Design Notes
A significant design milestone as it is the first ever official LEGO Kaminoan. It utilizes a custom mold to achieve the extreme height and slender neck of the species.
Similar Minifigures
Lama Su (Kaminoan character, though only available in LEGO video games/unreleased), or other tall/unusual mold figures like Dexter Jettster.
Collectibility
High. This was one of the most requested Star Wars characters for years. It is a 'must-have' for fans of the Prequel Trilogy.
History
For 20 years, Kaminoans were missing from the LEGO Star Wars lineup. Taun We's 2022 release finally filled a major gap in the Attack of the Clones roster.
Interesting Facts
The designers used a 2x2 slope for the dress instead of a standard gown piece to maintain the correct height ratio compared to a standard minifigure.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed inside a Kamino-themed MOC or alongside the 75333 Starfighter. Keep away from direct sunlight to prevent the white plastic from yellowing.
Modification Potential
The head/neck piece is highly sought after for MOC builders looking to create other Kaminoan characters like Lama Su or Nala Se.
Overall Assessment
9/10. An excellent execution of a long-awaited character. The unique mold and clean printing make it a standout addition to any collection.
