Rarity
Uncommon. While not a limited-edition exclusive, he only appeared in one mainstream retail set, making him harder to find than core characters like Luke or Vader.

Light flesh tone with brown beard and eyebrows. Dual-sided expression: one serious/neutral face and one determined/angry face. Part of the first wave of highly realistic Rogue One face prints.

Dark orange flight suit with white life support vest detail. Includes detailed printing of a chest-mounted control box, hose, and straps. Back printing features continuation of the flight vest and harness.
Legs
Dark orange with detailed printing on the hips and legs including grey harness straps, pockets, and utility belt details. No side or back leg printing.
Accessories
Includes a black blaster pistol (based on the DH-17) and a dark brown hair piece with molded headphones/comms-link attached, which is a unique element for this character.
Color Scheme
Primary color is Dark Orange (representing the Rebel Alliance flight suit), with accents of white, grey, and light blue on the control panel.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing typical of 2016 Star Wars figures. Includes sharp lines on the vest and belt. The comm-link on the hairpiece is not printed but molded; the face features high-resolution stubble and eyebrow details.
Variants
This is the 'Brown Hair with Headphones' variant. Other versions include sw0813 (Parka / Brown Hair) and sw1236 (Andor Series / Dark Brown suit).
Condition Notes
Common wear points include the silver/grey printing on the life vest and potential stress marks on the light flesh hands. The hairpiece with headset can sometimes show friction wear on the molded ear cups.

Character Background
Captain Cassian Andor is an intelligence officer for the Rebel Alliance. He is a key protagonist in 'Rogue One' and the lead character of the 'Andor' series, known for doing 'dirty work' for the rebellion.
Design Notes
The hairpiece with integrated comms-gear is the standout design feature, capturing the look of Rebel pilots and ground crew from the era. It effectively uses the 'Dark Orange' color which was becoming more prominent in the Star Wars line at the time.
Similar Minifigures
Poe Dameron (sw0677), Biggs Darklighter (sw0403), and Jyn Erso (sw0791) use similar Rebel flight suit aesthetics.
Collectibility
High. As a lead character in a critically acclaimed film and his own spin-off series, Cassian is a staple for Star Wars collectors, specifically those focusing on the Rebellion or Rogue One.
History
Debut in the 2016 Rogue One wave. This was the first time Cassian Andor was produced in LEGO form, released during the height of Disney's Star Wars revival. Subsequent versions shifted away from the flight suit to his civilian/undercover gear.
Interesting Facts
The hair piece with headset is quite rare in the Star Wars theme outside of specific pilot characters, making this specific Cassian variant highly desirable for MOC builders making custom rebel technicians.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed inside or next to the 75155 U-wing. Also pairs well with the K-2SO droid (sw0782) for a cinematic duo display.
Modification Potential
Excellent for Rebel pilot or technician MOCs. The torso and legs are versatile for any Rebel Alliance ground crew custom minifigures.
Overall Assessment
A top-tier licensed minifigure from the mid-2010s era of Star Wars. It balances unique molded parts with highly accurate costume printing. Rating: 8.5/10 for accuracy and collectible longevity.
