Rarity
Uncommon: This figure was exclusive to one mid-priced set, though Poe Dameron as a character had many variants during the sequel era.
Head
Light Flesh dual-sided head with high eyebrows and cheek lines. Facial expressions include a determined smirk and a worried/scared look. Black hair piece in the 'spiky messy' style.
Torso
Dark Red flight suit with a printed chest flap, gray belt, and Resistance insignia on the left arm. Detailed front and back printing representing a pilot's jumpsuit under-suit.
Legs
Dark Red legs with black boots. Features detailed printing on the hips and the front of the legs showing pockets and boot line transitions.
Accessories
Small black blaster pistol (though pictured here with a larger rifle piece / megaphone style assembly). Note: This specific variant is often packaged in-set with a helmet, but the hair is the primary accessory for this version.
Color Scheme
Predominantly Dark Red and Black with Light Flesh skin tones. Accent colors include Dark Gray for the utility belt and White for the Resistance logo.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing. Features include a detailed belt, creases in the pilot suit, and a small, crisp Resistance emblem on the left shoulder (arm printing).
Variants
Numerous variants exist: sw0658 (X-wing Pilot), sw0926 (Leather jacket), sw1063 (Rise of Skywalker). This specific 'Red flight suit' is unique to The Last Jedi line.
Condition Notes
Common wear includes torso cracks in the side from arm movement and neck stress marks. The arm printing of the Resistance logo is susceptible to rubbing wear if handled frequently.
Estimated Value
$5.00 - $8.00 USD (Used); $10.00 - $15.00 USD (New/Unassembled). Value is relatively stable due to the character's popularity and set exclusivity.
Price (New)
Originally included in the Resistance Bomber (Set 75188), which retailed for $109.99 USD.

Character Background
Poe Dameron is a commander in the Resistance's Starfighter Corps and one of General Leia Organa's most trusted operatives. This outfit represents his look during the evacuation of D'Qar.
Design Notes
The inclusion of arm printing was a notable upgrade for sequel-era minifigures. This figure accurately captures Oscar Isaac's likeness through more specific cheekbone printing.
Similar Minifigures
sw0677 (Resistance Pilot X-wing), sw0658 (Poe Dameron Pilot), sw1063 (Poe Dameron with satchel).
Collectibility
Moderate. Mandatory for completionists of 'The Last Jedi' cast, but less iconic than his standard X-wing pilot orange jumpsuit or his leather jacket look.
History
Poe Dameron's minifigure history began in 2015 with 'The Force Awakens.' This 2017 version reflects the aesthetic shift towards darker tones in the second film of the trilogy.
Interesting Facts
The Resistance Bomber set he comes in was subject to a minor controversy/re-release because the 'First Order' version of some characters was updated mid-production, but this Poe remained constant.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside Admiral Holdo or a Resistance Bomber MOC. Looks best on a clear stand to simulate the deck of a capital ship.
Modification Potential
Excellent. The Dark Red torso is popular for custom Resistance troopers or civilian rebels in MOCs. The head is arguably the best 'generic handsome male' head for customs.
Overall Assessment
A solid, well-printed minifigure that represents a key character's specific film look. Rated 7/10 for detail and 6/10 for investment potential.
