Theme

Year Released
2022 (Released in August alongside the Obi-Wan Kenobi Disney+ series wave)
Rarity
Uncommon point-of-entry; it is exclusive to a single mid-priced set, making it harder to find individually than standard Jedi variants.
Head
Light Nougat tone with a dual-sided print: one side features a calm, stoic expression, while the other shows a subtle, concentrated look. Topped with Dark Brown swept-back long hair (part number 64798).
Torso
Dark Brown torso with Light Nougat hands. The front features a highly detailed print of a Tan Jedi tunic covered by a tattered Brown poncho, including a utility belt and metallic gold buckle. Back printing continues the poncho detail.
Legs
Dark Brown legs with detailed printing that continues the Jedi robes and poncho aesthetic. Includes Light Bluish Gray highlights on the boots and torso-wrap extensions on the hips.
Accessories
Typically comes with a translucent green lightsaber with a silver (flat silver) hilt. Note: The poncho is printed on the plastic rather than being a cloth accessory piece.
Color Scheme
Primary colors are Dark Brown, Tan, and Reddish Brown, reflecting the earthy tones of the Tatooine desert disguise seen in Episode I.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing with excellent resolution on the belt buckle and the frayed edges of the poncho. Features detailed leg printing which is a significant upgrade from the 1999 version.
Variants
This is a 2022 redesign. Previous variants include the classic 1999 version (sw0021) and the 2017 version (sw0810). This 2022 version (sw1211) is unique for its printed-poncho torso.
Condition Notes
Prone to hairline micro-cracks on the sides of the torso (under the arms) over time. Check for typical Light Nougat hand fading or teeth marks on the hairpiece.
Estimated Value
Current market value is approximately $12.00 - $18.00 USD for a used complete figure; $20.00+ for a new/unplayed version.
Price (New)
The figure was included in set 75334, which had an original retail price of $49.99 USD.
Compatible Sets
Appears exclusively in Set 75334: Obi-Wan Kenobi vs. Darth Vader.
Character Background
A venerable Jedi Master and the mentor of Obi-Wan Kenobi. This specific attire represents his appearance on Tatooine in 'The Phantom Menace' but was released as a 'Force Spirit' or flashback inclusion in the Kenobi series line.
Design Notes
Uses modern LEGO Star Wars aesthetic choices, including updated skin tones (compared to the pre-2004 yellows) and more complex layering in the torso print to simulate depth without a physical cloth piece.
Similar Minifigures
sw0810 Qui-Gon Jinn, sw1212 Obi-Wan Kenobi (2022), and sw1093 Anakin Skywalker (Podracer Pilot - 20th Anniversary).
Collectibility
High demand. Qui-Gon is a fan-favorite character with relatively few modern updates, making any new variant a target for completionists.
History
Follows a 23-year history of Qui-Gon figures, showcasing the evolution from simple yellow faces to high-definition printing and torso detailing.
Interesting Facts
Despite being an Episode I design, this version was technically released under the 'Obi-Wan Kenobi' TV show sub-theme, representing Obi-Wan's memory/vision of his master.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed on a sandy baseplate to mimic Tatooine, or alongside a 75334 vignette to recreate the emotional resonance of the Kenobi series.
Modification Potential
Excellent for 'purist' MOC designers. The head and hair are often swapped onto basic Jedi robes to create a modern 'Standard' Qui-Gon for Jedi Council scenes.
Overall Assessment
A top-tier modern Star Wars minifigure. The printing depth and character accuracy score a 9/10, though inclusion in only one set makes it a 'buy now' before it retires and climbs in price.
