Figure ID
sw1158
Theme
Star Wars
Year Released
2021 (Debut in Set 75312)
Rarity
Uncommon. While appearing in a relatively affordable set initially, its high detail and status as a major character variant make it highly sought after compared to generic City or Ninjago figures.
Head
Plain black head beneath the helmet. This is the common 'faceless' placeholder used when the character is first revealed or to allow the helmet to look seamless through the visor slit.
Torso
Dark Green and Black with 'repainted' Beskar armor detail. The torso features intricate chest plate printing and a utility belt that extends to the hips. Arms are black with printed yellow shoulder pauldrons.
Legs
Medium Stone Grey/Black with detailed printing featuring knee armor and the lower part of the utility belt/kilt seen in the series. Printing covers the front and toes.
Accessories
Mandalorian Helmet (Sand Green) with Rangefinder (included in the mold/printed visor) and a Jetpack (Sand Green). This specific version typically includes a blaster and sometimes a gaderffii stick depending on the set context.
Color Scheme
Primary: Sand Green and Black; Secondary: Dark Red and Yellow. This represents the 'slick' repainted look after his return in The Mandalorian Season 2.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the torso (front and back), arms (shoulders), and legs (front). The arm printing for the pauldrons was a significant upgrade for this price-point figure.
Variants
This is the sw1158 version. Other variants include sw1164 (The Book of Boba Fett version with slightly different waist cloth printing) and various 'Classic' or 'Cloud City' versions with different armor colors.
Condition Notes
Inspect the arm printing for scratches, as side-arm prints are prone to wear. Check 'clutch power' on the rangefinder and jetpack. Sand green plastic is generally more durable than older brittle brown plastics.
Estimated Value
$10.00 - $15.00 USD (Used), $18.00 - $25.00 USD (New/New from Set). Prices remain stable due to the character's immense popularity.

Compatible Sets

Character Background
After surviving the Sarlacc pit, Boba Fett recovered his armor from Din Djarin and repainted it to reclaim his status and eventually seize the throne of Jabba's Palace on Tatooine.
Design Notes
LEGO achieved a much sleeker aesthetic here by utilizing black as the base suit color rather than the traditional grey or sand blue, accurately reflecting the 'The Mandalorian' visual style.

Collectibility
High. Boba Fett is a 'keystone' character for Star Wars collectors. The repainted armor version is a mandatory piece for fans of the modern Disney+ era of Star Wars.
History
This figure marks a shift in LEGO's approach to Boba Fett, moving away from the 'Original Trilogy' battle-worn look to the cleaner, high-contrast aesthetic of the Disney era.
Interesting Facts
The rangefinder on this mold is non-movable; higher-end versions occasionally use a separate accessory piece, but this integrated version ensures the iconic silhouette is never lost.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside Din Djarin (Mando) and Fennec Shand. Best showcased on a desert-themed baseplate or in front of a Microfighter/UCS scale Slave I.
Modification Potential
Swap the head with a printed 'Temuera Morrison' face (from the sw1164 version) to allow for helmet-off display. Arms can be swapped onto other Mandalorian MOCs.
Overall Assessment
An excellent, highly detailed figure that represents great value. The inclusion of arm printing in a standard retail set makes it a standout for modern collectors.
