Year Released
Released in 2015 as part of the set 75087 Anakin's Custom Jedi Starfighter. This release occurred during the transitional period before the Force Awakens marketing took over, revisiting The Clone Wars and Prequel era designs with updated printing standards.
Rarity
Uncommon to Rare. While not an exclusive convention figure, it only appeared in a single, now-retired set. Its rarity is bolstered by high demand for the 'Sith Eyes' face print, which is a specific character moment many collectors desire for 'Revenge of the Sith' dioramas.
Head
Light Nougat, Dual Sided. Side 1 features a determined Jedi expression; Side 2 features the 'Sith Apprentice' expression with yellow/red Sith eyes, furrowed brows, and a snarl. It uses the reddish-brown swept-back hair piece (part 98385).
Torso
Dark Brown Jedi Robes with dark tan undershirt. Features highly detailed printing including a utility belt with a silver buckle and kaps on both the front and back. The arms are dark brown with light nougat hands.
Legs
Black legs with dark brown hip piece. The legs feature detailed printing continuing the robe aesthetic and utility belt lines from the torso; printing is restricted to the front of the legs.
Accessories
Trans-Light Blue lightsaber blade with a flat-bottom 4-ring silver chrome/metallic hilt. In the set context, he appeared with a starfighter, but the minifigure's sole handheld accessory is his signature lightsaber.
Color Scheme
Primary colors are Dark Brown and Black, representing Anakin's darker Jedi attire from the end of the Clone Wars. Accent colors include Dark Tan for the tunic and Metallic Silver for the belt buckle.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing. The detail on the Sith eyes is precise with distinct yellow and red rings. Torso and leg printing alignment is excellent, creating a seamless transition from the belt on the torso to the belt on the hips.
Variants
This is the specific 2015 version. Other Sith Anakin variants include sw0419 (2012) which has different torso detailing and sw1259 (2023) from the Ahsoka series/UCS Venator which features significantly upgraded leg and arm printing.
Condition Notes
Common wear points include the silver hilt (chrome fading) and cracks in the dark brown torso under the arms (a common fragility in dark brown LEGO plastic from this era). The hair piece is prone to minor scuffs on the peaks.
Estimated Value
Used: $35 - $50 USD. New (extracted from set): $60 - $75 USD. Value has increased steadily as it is one of the few ways to obtain an Anakin with Sith eyes.
Price (New)
The set 75087 originally retailed for $39.99 USD in 2015. The minifigure was one of three in the set, making its original 'calculated' value approximately $13.33.

Character Background
This represents Anakin Skywalker at the end of the Clone Wars/beginning of Revenge of the Sith. Specifically, the 'Sith eyes' expression represents his fall to the dark side after being knighted as Darth Vader by Chancellor Palpatine.
Design Notes
This figure bridged the gap between the 'Clone Wars' stylized look and the more realistic modern Star Wars aesthetic. The use of black legs for the dark brown robes was a specific design choice to emphasize his transition to the aesthetic of Darth Vader.
Similar Minifigures
sw0419 Anakin Skywalker (Sith Eyes, 2012), sw1259 Anakin Skywalker (2023), and sh0641 Darth Vader (Tan Head).
Collectibility
High collectibility. Anakin is a core character, and 'Sith Anakin' is a specific sub-niche for collectors. It maintains strong value due to the popularity of the 2003 Clone Wars series which inspired the set it came in.
History
Anakin has been produced since 1999 (sw0007). This particular version represents the mid-2010s design philosophy where LEGO prioritized facial detail and torso-to-leg continuity. It is a milestone for being the most accurate 'Evil Anakin' for nearly a decade.
Interesting Facts
Despite the set being based on the 2003 'micro-series' where Anakin didn't have Sith eyes in that specific ship, LEGO included the Sith face to increase the figure's play value and appeal to movie fans.
Display Suggestions
Display on a translucent stand to simulate a lightsaber duel. Pairs perfectly with an Obi-Wan Kenobi (sw0612) or a Chancellor Palpatine figure to recreate the 'Mustafar' or 'Choice' scenes.
Modification Potential
Excellent for 'purist' customs. The head is frequently swapped onto the 2023 body (sw1259) to create the 'Ultimate' Sith Anakin with arm printing.
Overall Assessment
A standout minifigure for any Star Wars fan. The dual-sided head makes it versatile for display, and its connection to a unique 'Legends' style starfighter adds a layer of niche appeal. Rated 9/10 for character accuracy and collector desirability.
