Year Released
2017: Context - Released in the Battle of Naboo Duel on Naboo set (75169). This was during a period when LEGO was revisiting Episode I for the movie's 18th anniversary with updated high-detail prints.
Rarity
Uncommon. While exclusive to one specific retail set from 2017, the set was widely available. The version with the tan poncho is slightly more sought after than the standard robe versions.
Head
Light flesh tone with a stern expression and brown beard/mustache. Features a distinctive reddish-brown long hair piece with a small ponytail mold in the back (Part 23187). It is single-sided printing.
Torso
Light flesh arms with tan hands. The torso features a tan Jedi tunic print with dark tan belt detailing. Note: The poncho covers much of the torso detail, but the printing includes Jedi belt pouches on both front and back.
Legs
Dual-molded legs with tan on top and dark brown on the bottom to represent Jedi boots. This was a significant upgrade over the single-color legs of older Qui-Gon versions.
Accessories
Trans-Neon Green lightsaber blade with a flat silver hilt (hilt part 64567). The most prominent accessory is the tan fabric poncho (cape), which is uniquely shaped for this character's Naboo appearance.
Color Scheme
A grounded palette of Tan, Dark Tan, and Reddish Brown, accented by the Light Flesh skin tone and the vibrant Trans-Neon Green of the lightsaber.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing. The torso and legs feature sharp lines for the Jedi robes. The dual-molding on the legs is a premium feature compared to earlier versions of the character.
Variants
Standard Qui-Gon Jinn (sw0812) lacks the poncho; older 1999 version (sw0027) with yellow skin; 2011 version (sw0320) with tan legs and no poncho.
Condition Notes
The tan poncho is prone to fraying at the edges and creasing. Check for 'heel cracks' on the dual-molded legs and stress marks on the hands from holding the lightsaber.
Estimated Value
New: $35–$45; Used Complete: $25–$30; Incomplete: $15–$20. Prices vary based on the pristine condition of the cloth poncho.
Price (New)
Retail set 75169 Duel on Naboo originally cost $24.99 USD. The minifigure alone now exceeds the original price of the entire set.
Compatible Sets
75169 Duel on Naboo (2017).
Character Background
A maverick Jedi Master and mentor to Obi-Wan Kenobi. He discovered Anakin Skywalker on Tatooine. This specific look represents his final battle against Darth Maul on Naboo.
Design Notes
The inclusion of a fabric poncho was a callback to the 'Classic' style but with modern fabric quality. The hairpiece is a specific mold created to capture Liam Neeson's iconic hairstyle accurately.
Similar Minifigures
Obi-Wan Kenobi (sw0812), Darth Maul (sw0811), and other Jedi like Mace Windu or Yoda from the same 2017-2018 era.
Collectibility
High. Qui-Gon is a fan-favorite character with relatively few variants. This version is considered the 'definitive' version for many collectors due to the detailed legs and poncho.
History
LEGO Qui-Gon debuted in 1999. Since then, the figure has evolved from simple yellow skin to the highly detailed dual-molded, movie-accurate version seen here.
Interesting Facts
This is one of the few Jedi figures to include a full poncho rather than a standard cape. The lightsaber hilt is the 'frosted' silver variant which was standard in 2017 sets.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside sw0812 Obi-Wan and sw0811 Darth Maul to recreate the 'Duel of the Fates' scene. UV protection is recommended to prevent the tan cloth from fading.
Modification Potential
Excellent for MOCs (My Own Creations) of other Jedi. The poncho is a highly versatile part for custom desert-themed figures or Tatooine dioramas.
Overall Assessment
A top-tier Star Wars minifigure. The dual-molded legs and unique cloth accessory make it a standout. A 'Must-Buy' for fans of the Prequel Trilogy.
