Theme
Star Wars
Year Released
2022. It debuted in Obi-Wan Kenobi's Jedi Starfighter (Set 75333). This marked the 20th anniversary of Episode II: Attack of the Clones and was the long-awaited first official LEGO Kaminoan minifigure.
Rarity
Uncommon. It is currently exclusive to a single, relatively affordable set, making it accessible but unique for collectors focused on Kaminoan characters.
Head
A specialized long-neck mold in sand blue and white. It features a unique head shape with large dark eyes and a small mouth, accurately representing the Kaminoan species.
Torso
White torso with sand blue arms and white hands. Detailed printing includes a Kaminoan gown design with grey and silver accents on the front and back.
Legs
A 2x2x2 white sloped brick (dress piece) with detailed sand blue and silver printing to continue the flowing gown aesthetic of the Kaminoan outfit.
Accessories
None included with the base figure in the image, though the set typically includes laboratory-themed items. The figure itself relies on its unique mold rather than external tools.
Color Scheme
White, Sand Blue, and Light Bluish Gray with silver metallic printing highlights. This mimics the clinical, sterile environment of Tipoca City.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the head, torso, and the sloped 'skirt' piece. The printing is crisp, featuring metallic silver accents that catch the light.
Variants
None. This is the first and currently only official LEGO version of Taun We.
Condition Notes
The long neck is a single molded piece; check for stress marks or scratches on the printed eyes. The sloped brick can show scratches due to its large surface area.
Estimated Value
$8.00 - $12.00 USD (Used), $12.00 - $15.00 USD (New). Value is stable as the set is currently in production or recently retired.
Price (New)
Original set 75333 retailed for $29.99 USD, which included Taun We, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and R4-P17.

Character Background
Taun We is a Kaminoan administrative aide to Prime Minister Lama Su. She greeted Obi-Wan Kenobi upon his arrival at Tipoca City on Kamino in Episode II: Attack of the Clones.
Design Notes
This figure uses a completely new mold for the head/neck assembly to achieve the height profile of the species, as a standard minifigure neck would be too short.
Similar Minifigures
Lama Su (if/when released). It shares a similar aesthetic to other prequel-era non-human characters like Poggle the Lesser or various Geonosians in terms of unique molds.
Collectibility
High demand for Star Wars completionists. Fans waited two decades for a Kaminoan, making this a central piece for prequel trilogy displays.
History
For 20 years, fans used custom 'purist' combinations to represent Kaminoans. This figure's 2022 release was a significant milestone in modernizing the Attack of the Clones roster.
Interesting Facts
Despite the Kaminoans appearing in 2002, it took LEGO 20 years to produce a species-accurate mold for them, opting for the sloped dress piece to maintain their elegant height.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside Obi-Wan Kenobi (Jedi Starfighter suit) or in a Kaminoan cloning lab MOC. Use white or blue lighting to enhance the clinical aesthetic.
Modification Potential
Parts are highly specific. The head/neck can be used for other Kaminoan OCs, and the printed dress brick is useful for high-detail sci-fi feminine characters.
Overall Assessment
An excellent, long-overdue figure with a 10/10 for design accuracy. It is a 'buy' for any Star Wars collector due to its unique silhouette and historical significance.
