Year Released
2010; debuted in set 8085 Freeco Speeder during the height of The Clone Wars animated series' popularity.
Rarity
Uncommon; exclusive to a single retail set from early in the Clone Wars line, though common enough in the secondary market due to the set's high sales.
Head
Light Flesh color with facial printing showing Anakin's signature scar over the right eye and a determined expression. It is a single-sided print.
Torso
Dark Stone Grey (Dark Bluish Gray) torso with Parka/Cold Weather gear printing. Features dark brown sleeves and black hands. Back printing includes the continuation of the parka hood.
Legs
Dark Stone Grey (Dark Bluish Gray) plain unprinted legs with dark grey hips.
Accessories
Trans-Light Blue lightsaber blade with a Metallic Silver hilt. In the original set, he also came with a grey hood piece instead of hair, though the image shows him with the standard dark brown tousled hair piece.
Color Scheme
Earth Brown, Dark Stone Grey, and Light Flesh. This represents his cold-weather outfit from the planet Orto Plutonia.
Printing Details
Moderate detail level typical of late 2000s/early 2010s Clone Wars figures, featuring 'large eye' stylization specific to the animated series line.
Variants
Standard version sw0263 has dark brown arms. A rarer variant exists with different arm colors in some production runs, and there are several other 'Clone Wars' Anakin variations.
Condition Notes
Prone to silvering/wear on the metallic silver hilt. Check for torso cracks (standard for 2010-era plastic) and print fading on the facial scar.

Character Background
Based on Anakin Skywalker's appearance in the Season 1 Episode 'Trespass' of Star Wars: The Clone Wars. He wears this gear while traveling on the ice world Orto Plutonia.
Design Notes
First instance of Anakin having specialized cold-weather gear in LEGO form. Uses the stylized 'Clone Wars eyes' which are polarizing among collectors today.
Similar Minifigures

Collectibility
Moderate; a staple for Clone Wars completionists but generally less valuable than Anakin's episode-specific movie figures or rarer 'Jedi' variants.
History
Released during the transition era where LEGO began adding more torso and back printing but had not yet moved to dual-molded legs or high-detail arm printing.
Interesting Facts
This specific figure is often found with a hood piece (part 30381) instead of hair, as he wears the hood for the majority of the episode he is based on.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside Obi-Wan Kenobi in cold-weather gear and Captain Rex on a snow-themed MOC or in a Star Wars: The Clone Wars dedicated shelf.
Modification Potential
Excellent for 'purist' customs of cold-weather bounty hunters or smugglers due to the generic yet detailed look of the parka torso.
Overall Assessment
A solid, era-accurate representation of a niche character look. While not highly valuable, it remains a nostalgic piece for fans of the 2008-2014 Clone Wars era.
