Theme
Star Wars
Year Released
Released in 2003 as part of set 10123 Cloud City, during the 'Golden Era' of Star Wars licensed sets.
Rarity
Ultra-Rare. It is widely considered the most valuable non-promotional LEGO minifigure ever released to the general public.
Head
Standard yellow head (classic dot eyes/smile) under a unique Boba Fett helmet mold with integrated rangefinder.
Torso
Light gray torso with printed green chest plates, silver bounty hunter details, and crucially, unique side-arm printing on the sleeves.
Legs
Sand green hip and legs with detailed printed knee pads, pockets, and unique side-leg printing (distinguishing it from common variants).
Accessories
Dark gray jetpack, lime green tattered cloth cape (as seen in the image), and a black blaster rifle.
Color Scheme
A complex palette for 2003: Light Gray, Sand Green, Dark Brown, and Lime Green accents.
Printing Details
Revolutionary for its time; it was the first Star Wars figure to feature detailed arm and leg side-printing, which was not standard industry practice in 2003.
Variants
The 'sw0002' (from Slave I) lacks the arm/leg printing; the 'sw0107' is the only version with the specific limb prints.
Condition Notes
High risk of arm cracking at the wrist, fraying of the fragile lime green cape, and fading of the unique silver torso prints.
Estimated Value
New/Sealed: $3,500 - $5,000 USD; Used Complete: $2,000 - $3,000 USD; Individual torso/legs alone can fetch $800+.
Price (New)
Set 10123 retailed for $99.99 in 2003. The price-per-minifigure ratio was roughly $14.28 at launch.
Compatible Sets
Set 10123: Cloud City (2003).
Character Background
The galaxy's most notorious bounty hunter; this specific version represents his appearance on Bespin awaiting Han Solo.
Design Notes
This figure marked LEGO's first experimentation with high-detail pad printing on the limbs, which wouldn't become standard for another decade.
Similar Minifigures
sw0002 (Classic Boba), sw0396 (Modern Boba), and the rare 'White Prototype' Boba Fett are the closest comparisons.
Collectibility
Maximum tier collectibility. It is the 'Holy Grail' for Star Wars collectors due to set exclusivity and unique printing.
History
Follows the 2000 debut of LEGO Boba Fett, introducing significant upgrades that were ahead of their time before LEGO reverted to simpler designs.
Interesting Facts
Only approximately 10,000 Cloud City sets were produced, making this figure significantly rarer than current production totals.
Display Suggestions
Should be kept in a UV-protected acrylic case. Common displays include 'Cloud City Carbon Freezing Chamber' vignettes.
Modification Potential
Not recommended to modify due to value; replacement of the cape with third-party cloth is common to preserve the original.
Overall Assessment
Score: 10/10. This is a legendary piece of LEGO history and represents the ultimate investment piece for Serious collectors.
