Rarity
Common to Uncommon. While widely produced within its specific sets, it is a key licensed character that maintains steady demand without being excessively rare.
Head
Light Flesh dual-sided head with dark orange eyebrows, beard, and mustache. Printed with two expressions: a calm look and an angry/grimacing face. Hair piece is Dark Orange mid-length 'swept back' style (Part 15500).
Torso
Tan tunic design with dark tan and light flesh printing. Features a V-neck opening showing a black undershirt. A dark brown belt with a metallic silver buckle and pouches is printed on the front. Includes tan arms and light flesh hands.
Legs
Dark Tan legs with hip piece. Front printing includes the continuation of the tan tunic tails and dark tan robes with some knee detailing. No side or back printing.
Accessories
Standard lightsaber with a metallic silver (flat silver) hilt and a trans-blue 4L blade. Note: The blade in the image appears to be the standard translucent light blue variant.
Color Scheme
A palette consisting primarily of Tan, Dark Tan, and Light Flesh, accented by Dark Orange hair and a splash of Trans-Blue via the lighstaber.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing typical of the late 2010s LEGO Star Wars line. Features crisp lines on the belt buckle and subtle shading on the fabric folds of the tunic and legs.
Variants
This specific version (sw1003) is distinguished from the 2014 version (sw0535) by the updated hair piece mold and slight variations in the head print and leg color (Dark Tan vs Tan).
Condition Notes
Look for 'silvering' or air bubbles in the translucent blue blade. Common wear includes minor scratches on the torso or loose arm joints. Stress marks may appear on the hands if the lightsaber hilt is left inserted for long periods.
Estimated Value
$6.00 - $12.00 USD (Used), $15.00 - $20.00 USD (New/New condition). Marketplace prices fluctuate based on platform (BrickLink vs eBay).
Price (New)
Originally included in sets ranging from $29.99 (75233) to $169.99 (75255). It was never sold as a standalone figure.
Compatible Sets
75233 Droid Gunship (2019), 75255 Yoda (2019 - as a display/statue figure accompaniment), and 75269 Duel on Mustafar (2020 version sw1082 is nearly identical save for 'burn' marks).
Character Background
Based on Obi-Wan Kenobi's appearance in Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith, during his transition from a General in the Grand Army of the Republic to the 'High Ground' master of the Mustafar duel.
Design Notes
This figure marks the transition to the more modern, detailed hair piece (Part 15500) which provides a much more accurate silhouette to Ewan McGregor's hairstyle in the film compared to previous versions.
Similar Minifigures
sw0825 (Obi-Wan with cape), sw1082 (Mustafar Battle-worn Obi-Wan), sw0535 (Episode III 2014 version).
Collectibility
High. Obi-Wan is a cornerstone character for LEGO Star Wars collectors. As Episode III remains a fan-favorite, this 'clean' version of the Jedi Master is essential for MOC builders and set purists.
History
LEGO has produced Episode III Obi-Wan figures since 2005. This 2019 iteration represents the peak of 'non-armored' Jedi design before the 2022/2023 updates to the head prints and more specialized molds.
Interesting Facts
The same head print was used on multiple versions of Obi-Wan across several years, showing LEGO's satisfaction with the 'angry' and 'calm' expression balance for the character.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed on a gray or tan baseplate in a combat stance against a General Grievous or Anakin Skywalker minifigure. Uses a standard 2x4 brick stand for stability.
Modification Potential
Excellent base for custom Jedi. The tan arms and neutral tunic allow this figure to be easily converted into other Jedi Knights by swapping the head and hair pieces.
Overall Assessment
A solid, high-detail representation of an iconic character. It captures the essence of Ewan McGregor's portrayal perfectly and is a must-have for any Prequel Trilogy enthusiast. 8/10 for design and accuracy.
