Year Released
Released in 2010. This figure debuted during a period when LEGO was aggressively pursuing movie-licensed themes to appeal to older children and collectors.
Rarity
Uncommon. This figure was exclusive to the set 7572 Quest Against Time. While not limited-edition, the short lifespan of the Prince of Persia theme makes it harder to find today.
Head
Light flesh skin tone with a stern expression, black eyebrows, a concentrated gaze, and a unique printed beard/stubble around the mouth and jawline. No hair or headgear is present in the image.
Torso
White torso with front printing depicting a desert tunic with V-neck detail showing skin and a tan sash at the bottom. The arms are white with light flesh-colored hands.
Legs
In the image provided, the legs are missing. The correct legs for this figure are Tan, featuring dark tan and white printing depicting a wrapped cloth/sash and pants.
Accessories
Missing in image. Originally included two silver scimitars and potentially a dark brown hairpiece (Part 87671).
Color Scheme
Primary white and tan palette with light flesh accents, reflecting the desert setting of the source material.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing typical of the 2010 era. The torso features fold lines on the back as well as the front, and the sash printing aligns from the torso to the hips.
Variants
This is the shirtless/desert version. Other variants include the 'Battle Armor' version (pop001) and the 'Cape' version (pop005).
Condition Notes
The torso shows some potential play-wear. Collectors should look for torso cracks under the arms and fading of the tan printing on the waist sash.
Estimated Value
In its current incomplete state (missing hair and legs), it is worth approximately $2-$4 USD. A complete used figure is worth $10-$15 USD; New/Sealed value for the full set is over $80.

Character Background
Dastan is the main protagonist of the 2010 film 'Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time', portrayed by Jake Gyllenhaal. He is an adopted prince who finds the Sands of Time dagger.
Design Notes
This figure was notable for the highly detailed stubble printing and the first introduction of specific 'middle-eastern' inspired attire molds and prints in the modern flesh-tone era.
Similar Minifigures
Other Dastan variants (pop001, pop005), Nizam (pop004), and Zalm (pop008). Also resembles certain characters from the Indiana Jones Cairo sequences.
Collectibility
Moderate. While the theme was not a long-term success, Dastan is a cult-favorite for fans of the movie and MOC builders looking for desert-themed civilian clothing.
History
This figure represents the only time LEGO has held the Prince of Persia license, coinciding with the Disney film release. The theme lasted only one wave of sets.
Interesting Facts
The hair mold used for Dastan became a staple for many other licensed 'rugged' characters in the years following, including certain versions of Han Solo.
Display Suggestions
Place in a desert bazaar vignette or alongside a 'Dagger of Time' brick-built artifact. Use a light tan baseplate to mimic sand.
Modification Potential
The white tunic torso is highly sought after for purist customs of other desert-dwelling characters from Star Wars (Tatooine NPCs) or historical MOCs.
Overall Assessment
A solid movie-licensed figure with excellent torso printing. However, the specimen in the image is incomplete and lacks the distinctive hair and legs that determine its collector value.
