Figure ID
sw0107
Theme
Star Wars
Year Released
2003 (Debut in Set 10123)
Rarity
Ultra-Rare. This is widely considered the "Holy Grail" of mass-produced Star Wars minifigures due to its arm and leg printing, which was revolutionary and exclusive for the time.
Head
Classic yellow head with simple black dots for eyes and a standard smile; no facial hair or detail printing. It is topped with the iconic Mandalorian helmet in sand green with T-visor printing.
Torso
Sand blue torso with intricate printing of Boba's armor, scuffs, and a brown utility belt. The standout feature is the printed arms—a first for 2003—featuring the bounty hunter's shoulder insignias and gauntlet details.
Legs
Sand blue legs with detailed printing on the hip piece, front of the legs, and side of the legs. The printing depicts knee pads, pockets, and tool detail, matching the complex aesthetic of the character.
Accessories
Includes a sand green jetpack (one-piece), a dark gray classic blaster rifle (often the "long" camera-piece style in 2003), and a tan fabric cape worn under the jetpack over one shoulder.
Color Scheme
A mix of sand blue (suit), sand green (helmet/armor), reddish brown (belt), and yellow (shoulder/knee accents). The metallic t-visor adds a reflective quality.
Printing Details
Exceptional pad printing for the era. This was the first Star Wars figure to feature both arm and leg printing simultaneously. The detail is dense, featuring heavy weathering effects and mechanical symbols.
Variants
Modern versions (sw0610, sw0396) exist with flesh-toned heads and updated molds, but they lack the specific classic aesthetic and investment value of the 2003 original.
Condition Notes
Highly susceptible to torso cracks under the arms and stress marks in the heels. The sand blue plastic can brittle over time. Arm printing is often found scratched if play-worn. Authentic versions MUST have the 'LEGO' logo on the neck stud.
Estimated Value
$1,500 - $2,500 USD (Used, Excellent Condition); $4,000+ (Pristine/Certified). Incomplete or damaged versions still command $1,000+ due to the rarity of individual parts.
Price (New)
Originally released in set 10123 Cloud City, which retailed for $100 USD in 2003. The set had a low production run, contributing to the figure's skyrocketing value.
Compatible Sets
Set 10123: Cloud City (2003). This is the only official set containing the variant with arm and leg printing.
Character Background
Famed bounty hunter Boba Fett as seen in The Empire Strikes Back. This figure represents him during the capture of Han Solo on Bespin.
Design Notes
LEGO broke their 'standard' design rules of the era to produce this figure, likely due to the high price point of the Cloud City set. The decision to print on the sides of limbs was a major milestone in minifigure evolution.
Similar Minifigures
Cloud City Boba Fett (sw0107) is often compared to the UCS Slave I Boba Fett (sw0610) and the original 2000 Boba Fett (sw0002).
Collectibility
Highest tier of collectibility. It is often the center-piece of professional LEGO Star Wars collections. Its value has consistently appreciated for two decades.
History
Launched in the sunset period of the 'Classic Yellow' Star Wars era before the transition to flesh-toned figures in 2004. It proved that customers would pay a premium for high-detail printing.
Interesting Facts
For years, many fans believed the arm printing was a custom addition or a myth until the set's legacy was cemented online. Fake 'knock-off' versions are extremely common on the market today.
Display Suggestions
Should be kept in a UV-protected acrylic case. A 'Bespin' themed baseplate or a rotating stand to show off the arm printing is recommended.
Modification Potential
Extremely low. Any modification or 'purist' part swapping (like adding a modern head) will drastically decrease its collector value.
Overall Assessment
10/10. It is a legendary figure that defines a collector's status. If authentic, it is the single most valuable piece of LEGO Star Wars history for many enthusiasts.
