Year Released
Released in 2018; debuted in the LEGO Star Wars 2018 Advent Calendar (75213) as a festive but screen-accurate variant.
Rarity
Uncommon to Semi-Rare. While not an exclusive convention figure, it appeared in only one holiday-themed set, making it harder to find than his standard X-Wing pilot counterparts.
Head
Light flesh tone with printed stubble, brown eyebrows, and a smirk. It is a dual-sided head featuring a determined/angry expression on the reverse.
Torso
Dark blue Resistance flight jumpsuit with detailed utility vest printing (front and back), featuring life support controls and harness straps. Dark blue arms with black hands.
Legs
Dark blue legs with printed tan/sand-colored webbing and flight gear details on the front. No side printing on this specific variant.
Accessories
Equipped with a Black pilot helmet featuring a trans-yellow visor and detailed Resistance insignias (red/white/black printing). Included in the image is a gray brick-built jetpack or oxygen intake assembly not typically part of the standard sw0944 loadout.
Color Scheme
Primary color is Dark Blue, accented by Black, Sandy Tan (webbing), and Red/White (resistance logos).
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the torso front/back and legs. The helmet printing is particularly intricate, featuring the small Resistance bird logo on the side.
Variants
Poe has many variants including sw0658 (tan jacket), sw0677 (orange jumpsuit), sw0926 (Episode 8 pilot with different torso), and sw1143 (holiday sweater). This version is the specific dark blue jumpsuit variant.
Condition Notes
Common wear points include the silver printing on the life support box and the tight fit of the helmet which can cause micro-scratches on the head print. Check for 'heel cracks' on the dark blue legs.
Estimated Value
Used complete: $8.00 - $12.00 USD. New/Mint: $15.00 - $20.00 USD. Prices fluctuate based on the popularity of the Sequel Trilogy characters.
Price (New)
Originally available in set 75213 (2018 Advent Calendar) which retailed for $29.99 USD. It was one of 24 mini-builds/figures.
Compatible Sets
75213 LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar 2018. Parts also compatible with any Resistance-era X-Wings or MOCs from The Last Jedi.
Character Background
Poe Dameron is the ace pilot of the Resistance and leader of Black Squadron. Known for his bravery and occasionally reckless flying, he is a central protagonist in the Star Wars Sequel Trilogy.
Design Notes
This figure uses the updated 2018 helmet mold with the integrated visor. The dark blue jumpsuit represents the specific uniform worn during the evacuation of D'Qar at the start of The Last Jedi.
Similar Minifigures
sw0926 (Poe Dameron with updated jumpsuit), sw1143 (Holiday Poe), and other Resistance pilots like Tallie Lintra (sw0882).
Collectibility
Medium. He is a 'named' hero character, which always maintains a baseline demand, but because he was in an Advent calendar, many were purchased by casual fans, keeping supply stable.
History
Poe Dameron was first introduced to LEGO in 2015 for The Force Awakens. By 2018, the design became more refined with better hair molds and the dual-molded/printed helmet seen here.
Interesting Facts
The dark blue jumpsuit was a departure from the classic orange X-wing flight suit, intended to show the grim, under-resourced state of the Resistance in The Last Jedi.
Display Suggestions
Ideal for a small hangar vignette or displayed alongside his black-and-orange T-70 X-wing. Pairs perfectly with BB-8 and Finn.
Modification Potential
The torso and legs are excellent for 'purist' customs of other Resistance pilots or generic sci-fi technicians due to the realistic dark blue color.
Overall Assessment
An excellent, screen-accurate representation of the character. While not the most expensive Poe Dameron, it is one of the most visually distinct due to the dark blue color scheme. Rating: 8/10.
