Year Released
2016 - Released in set 75150 Vader's TIE Advanced vs. A-wing Starfighter. This era marked a transition into more complex torso and leg printing for Star Wars Rebels characters.
Rarity
Uncommon to Rare - Exclusive to an expensive mid-range set that is now retired. As a popular character from the Rebels series, she remains highly sought after.
Head
Light Flesh, dual-sided printing with a smirking expression and a grimacing/determined expression. It features thin brown eyebrows and dark orange eyes. The hair is a unique swoop mold in Dark Purple.
Torso
Dark Brown with detailed Mandalorian armor printing. Design includes orange, purple, and silver chest plates, plus a utility belt. The back has matching armor plate detail. Arms are dark brown with black hands.
Legs
Dark Brown with extensive printing featuring silver kneepads, orange accents on the thighs, and holsters for her blasters. The printing covers the hips and the front of the legs.
Accessories
Includes a Silver Metallic (Flat Silver) lightsaber hilt with a Trans-Bright Green blade (as pictured, representing Ezra's lightsaber) and originally came with two black blasters and a Mandalorian helmet in dark blue and orange.
Color Scheme
Primary Dark Brown with vibrant accents of Bright Orange, Dark Purple, and Silver Metallic. This reflects Sabine's artistic personality and custom-painted Mandalorian armor.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the head, torso (front and back), and legs. This version is notable for the intricate layering of color on the dark brown base piece without color bleed.
Variants
There are several Sabine variants: sw0596 (Series 1, no helmet), sw0616 (Series 1, with helmet), and sw1282 (Ahsoka series). This specific variant (sw0742) is identified by the purple hair and dark brown armor base.
Condition Notes
Watch for 'heeled' leg wear where the printing rubs off the feet. The neck area of the torso is prone to micro-cracks if the head is removed frequently. Check hair piece for paint chips on the purple surface.
Estimated Value
Used: $35.00 - $55.00 | New/Mint: $65.00 - $80.00. Value fluctuates based on the inclusion of the unique Mandalorian helmet.
Price (New)
The set 75150 retailed for $89.99 USD in 2016. Considering it contained four minifigures, the initial 'value' of the figure was roughly $22.50 at retail.

Character Background
Sabine Wren is a Mandalorian warrior, explosives expert, and graffiti artist. A former Imperial cadet turned rebel, she is a member of the Ghost crew and played a pivotal role in the liberation of Lothal.
Design Notes
The use of Dark Purple for the hair was a specific choice to reflect the character's look in Season 2 of Rebels. The leg printing is particularly dense compared to earlier 2014 versions.
Similar Minifigures
sw1282 Sabine Wren (Ahsoka Version), sw0616 Sabine Wren (Early season version), and sw0522 Inquisitor (another Rebels-themed exclusive).
Collectibility
High. LEGO Star Wars Rebels fans are dedicated, and as Sabine has transitioned into live-action (Ahsoka), interest in her animated-style minifigures has increased significantly.
History
Sabine's hair color changed almost every season of Rebels, leading to LEGO releasing three distinct 'animated' versions. This purple-haired version represents her Season 2/3 appearance.
Interesting Facts
Despite being a Mandalorian, this specific figure is often displayed with a lightsaber because she trained with the Darksaber and Ezra Bridger’s green lightsaber in the show.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside the Ghost crew (Hera, Kanan, Ezra, Zeb, and Chopper). A clear acrylic case is recommended as her hair and helmet are prone to dust collection in the recessed molds.
Modification Potential
The head and hair are frequently used for custom 'Mandalorian' MOCs. The torso/legs provide a perfect base for custom bounty hunter figures.
Overall Assessment
A top-tier Star Wars figure for any collector. The printing is busy and vibrant, accurately capturing the character's aesthetic. Rating: 9/10 for design and accuracy.
