Year Released
Released in 2013, appearing in the LEGO Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones wave which updated many prequel-era designs.
Rarity
Uncommon. This specific version was exclusive to two sets released in 2013 and has since been retired for over a decade.
Head
Features a double-sided light flesh-colored head. One side depicts a determined, neutral expression with an orange-brown beard; the other side shows an angry/grit-toothed scowl. It includes the mid-length dark orange hairpiece.
Torso
Tan Jedi robes with dark brown undershirt details and a brown utility belt. The back includes continued robe printing. Dark brown hands represent gloves.
Legs
Dark tan legs with a printed hip piece and front-facing robe extensions in a lighter tan shade to match the torso's tunic.
Accessories
Trans-light blue lightsaber blade attached to a metallic silver hilt. Note: The image shows the hilt being held upside down by the emitter end.
Color Scheme
Dominant tan and dark tan shades with dark brown accents and dark orange hair/beard; accented by the iconic blue lightsaber.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the head (dual-sided), torso front/back, and hips/legs. The alignment on this era of figures is typically very sharp with no leg side printing.
Variants
This is a significant update to the earlier Episode II Obi-Wan (sw0174). Other variants include the Clone Wars version (sw0197) and the Episode III version (sw0493) released around the same time.
Condition Notes
Inspect the neck for hairline cracks and the torso sides for stress marks. The dark orange hairpiece is prone to minor scratching. Check the lightsaber hilt for chrome/silver wear and the blade for air bubbles.
Estimated Value
Used Complete: $10.00 - $15.00 USD; New/Mint: $20.00 - $25.00 USD. Prices can fluctuate based on local currency (e.g., the 150 kr. price tag in the image is approx. $14.50 USD).
Price (New)
Included in sets ranging from $24.99 (75012) to $39.99 (75021 context). Not sold as a standalone retail figure.
Compatible Sets
75012 BARC Speeder with Sidecar and 75021 Republic Gunship (2013 versions).
Character Background
Depicts Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi as seen in Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones, during his investigation of Kamino and the battle on Geonosis.
Design Notes
This version marked a transition away from 'classic' tan robes toward more accurate dark tan/tan color blocking. It successfully captured Ewan McGregor's longer hair from that film.
Similar Minifigures
sw0174 Obi-Wan (old version), sw0493 Obi-Wan (Duel on Mustafar version), and sw0532 Anakin Skywalker (Episode II).
Collectibility
Medium. While a popular character, this specific version was relatively easy to obtain in 2013. Its value is driven primarily by its accuracy to Episode II.
History
Follows the evolution from the first yellow-headed version (sw0055) to the first flesh-toned version in 2007, then to this more detailed 2013 iteration.
Interesting Facts
The hair mold used for this figure is often associated with this specific era of Obi-Wan but has since been used for many other characters like Shaggy from Scooby-Doo.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside an Episode II Anakin Skywalker and a Reek or Nexu beast to recreate the Geonosis Arena scene.
Modification Potential
Great for purist customs of Episode II Jedi; the head and hair are often used for custom 'General Kenobi' versions.
Overall Assessment
A highly accurate, well-printed representation of a key Star Wars character. Rated 8/10 for accuracy and a solid 'Buy' for prequel-era collectors at current market prices.
