Similar Minifigures
Bistan (sw0780), Rebel Commando (sw0671), Cassian Andor (sw0791).
Collectibility
High. As a named character from a popular standalone film with only one figure produced, he is a primary target for Star Wars completionists.
History
Released during the first wave of Rogue One sets which introduced more diverse alien species to the LEGO Star Wars Rebel ranks.
Interesting Facts
The character's full name is Paodok'Draba'Takat Sap'De'Neb Piti Fillis Sed Laka. LEGO simplified this to just 'Pao' for packaging.
Display Suggestions
Display with other Rogue One rebels like Jyn Erso and Chirrut Îmwe on a Scarif beach MOC or with Krennic's Shuttle.
Modification Potential
Great for custom alien rebels or Cantina patrons due to the unique head sculpt and tactical torso.
Overall Assessment
Overall quality: 9/10. A fantastic, highly detailed alien minifigure that remains one of the best 'background' hero figures from the Disney era of Star Wars.
