Rarity
Uncommon. While mass-produced in several sets during 2013-2014, this specific head mold with the curved mouth and olive green skin is no longer in production.
Head
Rubberized olive green material with white hair printing on the back/top. Detailed molded wrinkles, 'pouty' or downturned mouth, and large black/white eyes. This was a significant shift from the previous 'cartoony' Clone Wars eyes.
Torso
Tan torso with printing depicting Jedi robes and a dark tan undershirt. Back printing includes robe hood and fold details. Medium stone grey or olive green hands depending on specific set inclusion.
Legs
Short Tan legs, unprinted. The small stature is achieved through these non-articulated short leg pieces.
Accessories
Standard small green lightsaber with metallic silver hilt. Occasionally paired with a reddish-brown walking stick (small bar piece) in Episode II sets.
Color Scheme
Primary Olive Green (skin) and Tan (robes). The shift to Olive Green from Bright Green marked a move toward cinematic realism.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the rubberized head for the eyes and hair. Torso features fine-line detail for the robe fabric folds. No printing on legs or arms.
Variants
Earlier versions (sw0051) used a harder plastic head with a different mold. Later versions (sw0707) changed the head printing to a more 'content' or smiling expression. A 'Cartoony' eye version exists (sw0201) from early Clone Wars sets.
Condition Notes
The rubber material of the head is prone to gathering dust and can suffer from 'tackiness' if stored in high humidity. Check for bite marks or fading on the white hair printing. The short legs have high clutch power but can crack at the heel.
Estimated Value
New: $15 - $20 USD | Used Complete: $8 - $12 USD | Head Piece Only: $4 - $6 USD.

Compatible Sets
75002 AT-RT (2013), 75017 Duel on Geonosis (2013), 75142 Homing Spider Droid (2016).
Character Background
Grand Master of the Jedi Order. This version represents Yoda as he appeared during the Clone Wars and the Prequel era, characterized by his agility and wisdom.
Design Notes
This head mold is notable for using a dual-material approach—a hard inner connector for the neck stud and a soft rubberized outer shell to capture Yoda's unique organic features.

Collectibility
High. Yoda is a 'pillar' character of the Star Wars theme. This 2013 variant is favored by many for its more serious, realistic expression compared to the 'bug-eyed' versions.
History
LEGO Star Wars underwent a 're-skinning' in 2013, moving away from the stylized eyes of the 2008-2012 Clone Wars era. This figure was the bridge to the modern aesthetic.
Interesting Facts
The rubber used for the head is a different compound than standard ABS plastic, making it one of the few pieces that cannot be recycled in the same way as standard bricks.
Display Suggestions
Ideal for a Jedi Council MOC or a Geonosis arena diorama. Pairs perfectly with Count Dooku (sw0472) to recreate their iconic duel.
Modification Potential
The head can be swapped onto the 'Dagobah' tattered cloak torso for a customized Original Trilogy look with a more modern head sculpt.
Overall Assessment
9/10. An excellent representation of the character that holds up well against modern standards. A staple for any Star Wars collector.
