Sand green rubberized material with black eyes; unique mold for Baby Yoda featuring large ears and forehead wrinkles.
Torso
Bright red torso with Christmas sweater print; features white snowflake patterns and a printed green and dark red scarf.
Legs
Standard red tiny non-articulated legs (shorthand 1x1 brick style base used for Grogu figures).
Accessories
Usually comes with a hover-pram build or a small white sack in the set; the figure itself includes no held gear.
Color Scheme
A festive mix of Red, Sand Green, White, and Dark Green accents.
Printing Details
High quality pad printing on the front of the red chest piece; no printing on back. Head is base-molded color with eye prints.
Variants
Standard Grogu (sw1113) has a tan robe; this is the specific festive variant.
Condition Notes
The rubbery texture of the head is prone to dust and pet hair; the tiny scale makes it easy to lose or for paint to rub off ears.

Collectibility
High for holiday completionists; stable value due to the popularity of 'The Mandalorian' series.
History
Debuted just as 'The Mandalorian' was becoming a cultural phenomenon, marking LEGO's first holiday version of the character.
Interesting Facts
The sweater pattern is actually designed to look like a 'Loth-cat' or Rebel Alliance starbird in a pixelated style.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed in a Winter Village/Christmas scene or alongside the UCS Razor Crest.
Modification Potential
Low due to the specialized tiny torso; head can be swapped onto any 1x1 stud connection.
Overall Assessment
9/10 for charm. It is a must-have for Star Wars fans looking to add some whimsical humor to their collection.
