Year Released
Released in 2020, debuting in set 75299 'Trouble on Tatooine'. It reflects the era of LEGO moving toward more detailed arm printing for mainstream characters.
Rarity
Common. This figure was mass-produced across several sets, making it very accessible for collectors despite the character's high popularity.
Head
Standard flat black head piece without facial printing. In later waves (sw1135), a face was introduced, but sw1085 specifically uses the faceless black head.
Torso
Dark brown with Beskar armor plates, bandolier, and belt printing. Features highly detailed silver metallic arm printing on both shoulders representing the Beskar signs.
Legs
Dark brown legs with detailed hip and frontal printing showing thigh armor and lower garment straps consistent with the Season 2 appearance.
Accessories
Typically comes with a light bluish gray Amban phase-pulse sniper rifle and a black blaster pistol, though the Jetpack (92589) is included in certain set versions.
Color Scheme
A mix of dark brown, reddish brown, and metallic silver (Titanium Metallic). The metallic silver conveys the reflective property of Beskar steel.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the torso front and back, arms, and legs. Alignment is usually excellent, with the arm printing being a standout luxury feature for a non-exclusive figure.
Variants
sw1085 (Black head), sw1135 (Din Djarin face print), and sw1212 (Darker Beskar with Cape). There is also the original non-Beskar version (sw1013).
Condition Notes
Watch for scratches on the metallic silver helmet paint and silver arm prints. Torso side-cracks are a potential long-term risk due to arm-stiffening.
Estimated Value
$5 - $10 USD (Used), $12 - $15 USD (New/Mint). The high availability in cheap sets keeps the price low.
Price (New)
Available in sets ranging from $29.99 (75299) to $599.99 (75331 UCS Razor Crest).
Compatible Sets
75299 Trouble on Tatooine, 75312 Boba Fett's Starship, 75315 Imperial Light Cruiser, 75319 The Armorer's Mandalorian Forge.
Character Background
Din Djarin is a Mandalorian bounty hunter who becomes the guardian of Grogu. This figure represents his upgraded full Beskar armor forged in Season 1.
Design Notes
The helmet mold is consistent with previous Mandalorians but uses a unique 'Flat Silver' finish. The arm printing was a major selling point for $30 sets.
Similar Minifigures
Paz Vizsla (sw1173), Bo-Katan Kryze (sw1163), and the Armorer (sw1172).
Collectibility
High demand due to the character's iconic status, though financial investment potential is capped by high supply.
History
Followed the 2019 'Durasteel' version; marked a shift where LEGO prioritized show-accurate upgrades for the main protagonist within one year of series launch.
Interesting Facts
Despite his face being revealed in Season 1, this 2020-2021 version still used a black head piece to maintain the 'Helmet is the Way' mystery.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside Grogu (Baby Yoda) and a brick-built Blurrg or inside a Razor Crest MOC. Use cool-white LED lighting to make the Beskar silver pop.
Modification Potential
Excellent for 'purist' customs; the arms and legs are frequently used by fans to upgrade other Mandalorian clan members.
Overall Assessment
An essential minifigure for any Star Wars fan. It offers incredible detail (especially arm printing) for a standard retail figure. Rating: 9/10.
