Year Released
Released in 2015 as part of the Star Wars Rebels wave in set 75060 (UCS Slave I) and later in 2017 in set 75167.
Rarity
Uncommon. While highly desirable, it appeared in a mass-market Battle Pack (75167), making it more accessible than its UCS predecessor version.
Head
Specially molded head in Olive Green with tan and yellow highlights; features large reptilian eyes and a prominent snout with visible teeth. No dual printing.
Torso
Sand Green torso with an Olive Green jacket pattern, Tan undershirt, and a simple pocket/breathing tube detailed print. Olive green arms with tan hands.
Legs
Plain black legs with black hip piece. No printing on legs.
Accessories
Commonly paired with a blaster rifle or a stud shooter (in the Battle Pack version). No cloth or specialized capes.
Color Scheme
Dominant Olive Green and Sand Green with Tan accents for the reptile skin and vest; flat Black legs.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the torso front and back; the head features intricate textured paint applications to highlight the reptilian scales.
Variants
This is the 2015/2017 version (sw0627). It differs from the 2010 version (sw0280) which had a yellow flight suit and a less detailed head piece.
Condition Notes
Check for paint wear on the snout and top of the head mold. The olive green head is susceptible to scuffing. Ensure torso print is crisp with no fading at the neck line.
Estimated Value
Used: $7-$10 USD. New: $12-$15 USD. The value remains stable due to the popularity of the character despite the figure's availability in a cheap battle pack.
Price (New)
Original set 75167 (Bounty Hunter Spearer Battle Pack) retailed for $14.99 USD in 2017, which included four bounty hunter minifigures.
Compatible Sets

Character Background
Bossk is a Trandoshan bounty hunter known for his appearances in 'The Empire Strikes Back' and 'The Clone Wars.' He is a rival of Boba Fett and a fearsome tracker.
Design Notes
The head mold for this figure is a significantly improved version over the original, using a more muted, screen-accurate sand-green/olive-green palette compared to the classic yellow.
Similar Minifigures
4-LOM (sw0830), IG-88 (sw0831), Dengar (sw0751), and Zuckuss (sw1020).
Collectibility
High. Bounty hunters are among the most collected sub-groups in the LEGO Star Wars theme. Completing the 'ESB Bounty Hunter' lineup is a major milestone for collectors.
History
First introduced in yellow in 2010, this redesigned version reflects LEGO's 2015-era move toward realistic muted tones and highly detailed specialized head molds.
Interesting Facts
Despite his fearsome reputation, his LEGO torso design usually depicts a relatively simple pilot's vest or flight suit relative to the complex armor of Boba Fett.
Display Suggestions
Ideal for display on a custom UCS Slave I stand or a Bounty Hunter lineup vignette from the Darth Vader bridge scene.
Modification Potential
Great for Trandoshan MOCs; the head is frequently used for custom 'Bossk' designs or other Trandoshan background characters.
Overall Assessment
An excellent, screen-accurate representation of a fan-favorite character. It is a 'Buy' recommendation for any Star Wars fan due to its high detail-to-price ratio.
