Rarity
Uncommon. While mass-produced, this specific variant with the Mudhorn signet is limited to a smaller number of sets compared to the plain robe version.
Head
The head is a unique, molded soft-plastic piece in Sand Green. It features large black eyes with white glints, small ears, and minor wrinkles on the forehead. The piece is a customized mold specific to the character species.
Torso
The torso is a fixed micro-figure style piece with a tan robe design. It features exclusive printing of the Mudhorn signet on a silver medallion, a brown strap, and robe crease detailing.
Legs
This figure does not have traditional legs; it uses a 1x1 brick-sized base part of the micro-body, which is molded in tan to match the robe.
Accessories
Usually paired with a brick-built pram or a small specialized silver cup piece (representing his soup bowl), though this specific version is defined by the armor print on the torso itself.
Color Scheme
Sand Green for the skin and Tan for the clothing, accented by Metallic Silver and Dark Brown for the signet and strap.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the front of the torso. The metallic silver ink used for the Mudhorn signet is particularly crisp. There is generally no back printing on this micro-scale torso.
Variants
Standard plain robe (sw1090), Christmas sweater version (sw1131), and various head color shifts depending on the manufacturing batch of the soft plastic.
Condition Notes
The soft plastic head is prone to dust accumulation and can develop 'sticky' residue over time if exposed to heat. The tan micro-body is sturdy, but the medallion print can scratch if handled roughly.
Estimated Value
Used: $4.00 - $6.00 USD; New/Mint: $7.00 - $10.00 USD. Prices fluctuate based on the popularity of The Mandalorian TV series.
Price (New)
Originally available in set 75299 for $29.99 USD retail, making the figure roughly 1/3 of the value of the debut set.
Compatible Sets
75299 Trouble on Tatooine, 75315 Imperial Light Cruiser, 75312 Boba Fett's Starship.
Character Background
Grogu, born around 50 BBY, is a Force-sensitive member of the same species as Yoda. This version represents his bond with Din Djarin, symbolized by the Mudhorn signet given to them as a clan of two.
Design Notes
One of the smallest official Star Wars figures. The use of a specialized soft-material head allows for better detail and a 'cuter' aesthetic that hard plastic couldn't achieve at this scale.
Similar Minifigures
Yoda (sw0051), Grogu - Plain Robe (sw1090), Grogu - Holiday Sweater (sw1131).
Collectibility
High demand among Star Wars fans due to the character's massive popularity, though high set circulation prevents the price from skyrocketing for this specific variant.
History
First introduced in 2020 as sw1090; this 'Signet' version reflects his growth in Season 2 of the series. It marked a major milestone in LEGO's ability to produce highly detailed characters at micro-scale.
Interesting Facts
For a long time before the official name reveal, LEGO fans and the LEGO company simply referred to this figure as 'The Child'. The Mudhorn signet print is extremely small, measuring roughly 3mm in diameter.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed inside a 1x1x2 transparent display cube or standing on the shoulder of a Din Djarin (The Mandalorian) minifigure to show scale.
Modification Potential
The head is removable and can be placed on other standard stud-topped pieces, though it looks best on the intended micro-torso. Some fans paint the ears with pink highlights for added realism.
Overall Assessment
A must-have for Star Wars collectors. The tiny Mudhorn print makes it feel more 'deluxe' than the standard version. Quality is excellent, though the soft-plastic head requires careful cleaning.
