Theme
Star Wars
Year Released
Released in 2009. This figure debuted in the early waves of 'The Clone Wars' animated series sets, marking a shift toward stylized 'wide-eyed' facial prints.
Rarity
Uncommon. While not a limited promotional item, it was only available in three sets between 2009 and 2012, making it harder to find in pristine condition today due to age.
Head
Brown head with stylized 'Clone Wars' large eyes, white pupils, black eyebrows, and a distinct mustache/soul patch printing. Bald, no hair piece included.
Torso
Sand Green torso with Jedi robe pattern including tan tunic underneath and a dark brown belt with a silver buckle. Back printing is minimal but includes robe folds. Dark brown hands.
Legs
Tan legs and hips without printing. This is the standard leg assembly for this era of Jedi minifigures.
Accessories
Originally packaged with a purple lightsaber (trans-purple 4L bar and chrome or flat silver hilt). The figure in the image is missing its lightsaber.
Color Scheme
A palette of Sand Green, Tan, and Dark Brown, representing the character's unique Jedi robes seen in the early seasons of the animated series.
Printing Details
Features sharp pad printing on the torso and a very specific 'big eye' aesthetic on the face. Detail is medium-level, lacking the leg or arm printing seen in modern 2020s versions.
Variants
There are several Mace Windu variants; this 2009 'Clone Wars' version (sw0220) is distinct from the classic yellow-skin version (sw0005) and the modern realistic versions (sw1091).
Condition Notes
Prone to silver paint fading on the belt buckle and 'clutch power' loss in the neck. Dark brown hands are brittle and can crack if accessories are swapped frequently.
Estimated Value
$10 - $18 USD for used/complete; closer to $25+ as part of a sealed set. The head alone is valued around $5.
Price (New)
Featured in sets ranging from the $12.99 Jedi Starfighter (8019) to the $59.99 Mace Windu's Jedi Starfighter (7868).
Compatible Sets
7868 Mace Windu's Jedi Starfighter (2011), 8019 Republic Attack Shuttle (2009), 30050 Mini Jedi Starfighter (polybag - rarely included).
Character Background
Mace Windu is a Jedi Grand Master and member of the High Council. This version depicts him as a General in the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars.
Design Notes
Representative of the 2008-2010 'Clone Wars' era where LEGO attempted to mimic the animation style via facial features, a design choice that remains polarizing among collectors.
Similar Minifigures
sw0523 Mace Windu (realistic), sw0005 Mace Windu (classic), and other stylized Jedi like sw0197 Obi-Wan Kenobi or sw0201 Anakin Skywalker.
Collectibility
High for 'The Clone Wars' completionists. While many prefer the realistic face prints, this version is an essential piece of LEGO Star Wars history.
History
Followed the first light-flesh tone Mace Windu from 2005. It was eventually replaced by more realistic designs starting around 2013 as LEGO phased out the 'cartoon' eyes.
Interesting Facts
The Sand Green torso color is unique to Mace Windu in this Jedi context; most other Jedi use Tan or Reddish Brown torsos.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside a Delta-7B Jedi Starfighter or in a 'Jedi Council' vignette. Use a UV-protected case to prevent the Sand Green from yellowing.
Modification Potential
The head can be swapped with a modern Mace Windu head (sw1091) to create a 'purist' transition figure that bridges the animated and realistic styles.
Overall Assessment
A nostalgic and sturdy figure from an iconic era of LEGO Star Wars. Despite the dated facial style, the torso detail and unique color choice make it a solid B-tier collectible.
