Rarity
Rare. Exclusive to a single, retired set from the Star Wars Rebels sub-theme. His popularity in the Ashoka series and the legendary status of the character in EU/Legends has driven high demand.
Head
Medium Azure skin tone with glowing red eyes and black eyebrows. Cheeks are defined with subtle contour lines. This head piece is unique to this character.
Torso
White Imperial Grand Admiral tunic with gold epaulettes printed on shoulders. Detailed rank insignia plaque (six red, three blue, three yellow tiles) and two code cylinders. Back features seam printing. Plain white arms with medium azure hands.
Legs
White hips and legs with a black belt print and silver buckle detail. No side or back leg printing.
Accessories
Usually comes with a black small blaster (pistol). The figure in the image is shown holding a standard black blaster.
Color Scheme
A striking contrast of White (uniform), Medium Azure (skin), Dark Blue (hair), and black/gold accents. This reflects his Chiss physiology and high Imperial rank.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing. The rank insignia and epaulettes are sharp. The red eye printing is vibrant and well-aligned.
Variants
None. This is currently the only official LEGO minifigure of Grand Admiral Thrawn ever produced.
Condition Notes
Susceptible to yellowing of the white plastic if exposed to UV light. Check for torso cracks under the arms and neck. The azure hands can sometimes show bite marks or loose grip over time.
Estimated Value
$150 - $220 USD for used complete; $250+ USD for new/pristine condition. Individual torso and head are the most valuable components.
Price (New)
The original set (75170) retailed for $29.99 USD in 2017. The figure alone is now worth nearly 7 times the original price of the entire set.

Character Background
A high-ranking Imperial officer of the Chiss species known for his tactical genius and appreciation for art. He was the main antagonist of the Star Wars Rebels animated series and has since appeared in the live-action Ahsoka series.
Design Notes
LEGO accurately captured his stern expression and the distinct Chiss features. This was a highly anticipated figure because Thrawn was a fan-favorite 'Legends' character brought back into official canon.
Similar Minifigures
Imperial Officers (sw0582), Admiral Yularen (sw0633), or Governor Tarkin (sw0741).
Collectibility
Extremely High. It is a centerpiece for Star Wars Rebels collectors and Imperial army builders. Value has consistently trended upward since the character's re-emergence in live-action media.
History
First and only release in 2017. It marked a milestone as one of the most requested characters from the expanded universe to be immortalized in plastic.
Interesting Facts
Despite his massive popularity, LEGO has never re-released this figure in subsequent waves, making the 2017 version an 'accidental' high-value investment.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside Ezra Bridger and Hera Syndulla to recreate Rebels scenes, or inside a UCS Imperial Star Destroyer. Keep away from direct sunlight to preserve the white plastic.
Modification Potential
Some collectors swap the hair for more textured dark blue variants, but most keep it original due to the high resale value. Ideal for Grand Admiral office MOCs.
Overall Assessment
A 10/10 collector's item. Its exclusive nature, iconic character status, and clean design make it one of the most desirable Star Wars minifigures from the late 2010s.
