Theme
Star Wars
Year Released
Released in 2012 as part of the Star Wars: The Clone Wars wave, coinciding with the third season of the animated series.
Rarity
Rare. This minifigure has only ever appeared in one single retail set and has never been remade, leading to high secondary market demand.
Head
Light Flesh dual-sided head with high-detail printing. Features an angry expression, specific grey scarring around the eyes/cheeks, and pointed ears molded as part of the head piece. Includes the tan/dark tan hair piece (Part 95226).
Torso
Dark Red Torso with Jedi Robes pattern in reddish brown and dark brown. Features a dark grey belt with a silver communicative device printed on the front. No back printing was standard for this specific era's simple Jedi robes.
Legs
Basic black short legs (Part 41879) used to represent his shorter stature as a Lannik.
Accessories
Trans-Bright Green Lightsaber blade with a Metallic Silver hilt. In the image, the hilt appears to have a Flat Silver 1x1 round plate and dish attached at the bottom (custom modification), which is not part of the original set.
Color Scheme
Primary Dark Red and Black, with Light Flesh skin tones and Dark Tan hair. The lightsaber provides a Trans-Green accent.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the head to capture the complex facial scars. Torso printing is crisp but follows the simpler aesthetic of early 2010s Clone Wars figures.
Variants
None. This is the only version of Even Piell ever produced by LEGO.
Condition Notes
Prone to hairline cracks in the dark red torso (a common issue with that color plastic). The hair piece is unique and expensive to replace; the short legs should have high clutch power.
Estimated Value
Used: $35.00 - $45.00 USD. New: $55.00 - $65.00 USD. Value is driven by its exclusivity to one retired set.
Price (New)
Originally available in set 9498 which retailed for $24.99 USD in 2012.
Compatible Sets
Set 9498: Saesee Tiin's Jedi Starfighter (2012).
Character Background
Even Piell was a Lannik Jedi Master who served on the High Council. He is best known in the Clone Wars for the 'Citadel' story arc, where he died heroically to protect the Nexus Route coordinates.
Design Notes
One of the few Star Wars minifigures with a unique molded head that includes integrated ears, rather than a standard minifigure head shape.
Similar Minifigures
Saesee Tiin (sw0308), Yoda (sw0446), and other Jedi Council members from the Clone Wars line.
Collectibility
High. Because he is a named Jedi Council member and only appears once, he is a 'check-box' figure for Star Wars completionists.
History
Piell's inclusion in 2012 marked LEGO's effort to expand the Jedi Council roster during the peak of The Clone Wars TV show popularity.
Interesting Facts
The scarring on the minifigure head accurately reflects the character's appearance from the show, including the blind left eye which is printed slightly differently than the right.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside other Jedi Council members or inside a Jedi Temple MOC. UV-protected cases are recommended to prevent the Dark Red torso from fading.
Modification Potential
The image shows a modified lightsaber hilt; users often swap the black short legs for dark brown to better match cinematic appearances.
Overall Assessment
A standout 'exclusive' minifigure for its era. While the torso is generic, the unique head mold makes it an essential piece for any serious Star Wars collector.
