Rarity
Uncommon. While exclusive to one mid-range set, the set was widely available and the character is a fan favorite, maintaining steady circulation.
Head
Plain black head block used to create the visor effect under the helmet. The helmet is a unique Sand Blue mold with intricate printing for the T-visor and cooling vents.
Torso
Sand Blue with heavy Mandalorian plate printing. Features a printed brown utility belt and weathered armor scuffs. Dark gray arms with black hands. Includes a bulky Sand Blue shoulder armor piece.
Legs
Sand Blue with detailed gray plate printing and yellow accent stripes near the knees. No side printing on this specific variant.
Accessories
Brick-built heavy blaster cannon (Z-6 rotary blaster equivalent) using black technic and plate pieces. He also traditionally includes a brick-built jetpack with a printed tile, though not fully visible in this photo.
Color Scheme
Primary color is Sand Blue; accents include Dark Gray, Black, Brown (belt), and Yellow (knee detailing).
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the helmet, torso, and legs. The registration is typical of 2020s LEGO Star Wars, featuring crisp lines and subtle weathering effects.
Variants
This is currently the only official version of Paz Vizsla produced by LEGO. A similar but larger-scale version appeared in the Star Wars Microgalaxy line by other manufacturers, but this is the definitive LEGO minifigure.
Condition Notes
Inspect the neck of the torso for cracks common in minifigures with neck-bracket armor. Check the helmet for silver paint rubbing on the visor area.
Estimated Value
Complete used: $15 - $22 USD. New/Mint: $25 - $35 USD. Value is driven by the fact that he was exclusive to a discontinued set.
Price (New)
The set he appeared in (75319) retailed for $29.99 USD in 2021. Generally, he accounts for nearly 60% of the set's current secondary market value.

Character Background
A descendant of Tarre Vizsla, Paz is a member of the Tribe on Nevarro. Known for his heavy armor and combat prowess, he initially clashed with Din Djarin before sacrificing himself for the survival of the Mandalorians.
Design Notes
Uses the 'bulky armor' piece originally developed for themes like Nexo Knights to differentiate his heavy stature from standard Mandalorians. The helmet mold is standard, but the print design makes it distinct.
Similar Minifigures
Pre Vizsla (sw0416), Mandalorian Tribe Warrior (sw1077), and the Armorer (sw1172).
Collectibility
High. As a named character from a popular Disney+ series with a definitive ending, the demand among Star Wars collectors remains strong.
History
Released during the peak of 'The Mandalorian' Season 2 hype. It represented LEGO's effort to move beyond generic 'Mandalorian Warriors' into specific supporting cast members.
Interesting Facts
Paz Vizsla was voiced by show creator Jon Favreau. This minifigure is often called 'Heavy Infantry Mandalorian' in older catalogs because his name wasn't confirmed on-screen until later episodes.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside The Armorer and Din Djarin on a Nevarro forge baseplate. Use a clear trans-black stand to simulate his jetpack flight.
Modification Potential
Many collectors swap the legs for custom UV-printed versions to add side-leg plating. The brick-built gun can be enhanced with custom 'Mando' heavy weapon 3rd-party parts.
Overall Assessment
9/10. An excellent translation of a screen character into brick form. The choice of Sand Blue is accurate to his appearance in Season 1 and the figure feels appropriately 'heftier' than others.
