Rarity
Uncommon to Rare. While the design returned in slightly modified forms, this specific 2012-2013 variant was limited to mid-to-high price point sets that are now retired.
Head
Light Flesh, dual-sided printing: one side with a scowling/angry expression and the other with a determined look (with eye scar). Features the tousled mid-length reddish-brown hair piece (part 92081).
Torso
Dark brown tunic with dark tan/brown sash. Features detailed belt printing with silver pouches and lightsaber hook. Back printing continues the tunic and belt lines. Dark brown arms and light flesh hands.
Legs
Black legs with dark brown hip joint. Printing on the legs includes the lower extension of the tunic/tabards in dark brown with thin grey/white lining for depth.
Accessories
Includes a standard chrome/light bluish gray lightsaber hilt with a trans-blue blade. This version usually carries the blue blade representing his Jedi weapon.
Color Scheme
Primary: Dark Brown and Black. Accents: Light Flesh, Reddish Brown, and Silver. This darker palette reflects his wardrobe in the latter half of the Clone Wars and Revenge of the Sith.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing. The torso and lower-tunic printing on the legs align to form a continuous garment. Features sharp detail on the belt buckle and utility pouches.
Variants
Variants include sw0139 (classic Episode III), sw1020 (without leg printing), and sw0526 (TCW armor). This specific figure (sw0419) is distinguished by the combination of the 2012 face print and full leg printing.
Condition Notes
Watch for silver paint wear on the lightsaber hilt (if chrome) and hairline cracks on the heels or back of the torso. The reddish-brown hair piece is prone to loose fit over time.
Estimated Value
Used: $18-$25; New/Mint: $30-$45. Value has increased significantly since the set was retired.
Price (New)
Originally released in set 9526 ($89.99) and set 75021 ($119.99), making him an expensive figure to obtain at retail time.

Character Background
As depicted in the transition between The Clone Wars and Revenge of the Sith, this figure represents Anakin Skywalker as a seasoned Jedi Knight, bearing the scar from his duel with Asajj Ventress.
Design Notes
This version saw the transition from the 'bug-eyed' Clone Wars aesthetic to a more realistic/movie-accurate face print, while retaining the complex dark brown tunic details.
Similar Minifigures
sw0488 (Anakin with headset), sw1020 (Anakin 20th Anniversary), and sw0829 (Anakin from 75183 Transformation).
Collectibility
High demand. This is often considered the 'definitive' late-war Anakin for play-scale collection due to the leg printing and expressive face.
History
Launched during the 'Golden Era' of LEGO Star Wars (2012-2014) where detail levels like torso and leg continuity became standard for main characters.
Interesting Facts
The face print on this figure is actually the first time Anakin's eye scar was depicted with such fine line work in the realistic style rather than the cartoon TCW style.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed alongside SW0416 Pre Vizsla or a Chancellor Palpatine figure to recreate the 'Arrest' scene. UV protection is recommended for the dark brown plastic.
Modification Potential
Excellent for MOCs. The torso/legs provide a perfect base for many custom Jedi or dark-toned warriors.
Overall Assessment
A top-tier Anakin Skywalker variant. The printing continuity between the torso and legs makes it superior to many newer 'budget' versions of the same character.
