About this deal

Despite being 50 years old, Grogu was only a baby when the Mandalorian rescued him from a Nikto encampment. Wanted by the fearsome Moff Gideon, Grogu life is in eternal peril! Din Djarin was raised as a foundling by an orthodox Mandalorian cult known as the Watch. Following the fall of the galactic empire, Din struggled to make ends meet by working as a bounty hunter for Greef Karga. Clad in a shining set of Beskar armour, nothing could stop Din on his quest to return baby Grogu to his own kind.

Since the Mandalorian first debuted in 2019, LEGO has been steadily releasing sets based on the series. There are currently 11 named minifigures based on Mandalorian characters. It is only fitting to begin by looking at the shows main protagonist, Din Djarin. Leader of the Bounty Hunter guild, Greef Karga served as the middle man between the mysterious imperial “Client” and Din. Later, Karga served as Magistrate of Nevarro, working to improve the lives of its citizens and remove the imperial presence from the planet.

Children can play out Mandalorian Fang Fighter vs. TIE Interceptor battles with this LEGO Star Wars: The Mandalorian building toy set (75348). It features the Fang Fighter that made its debut in Season 3 of the popular Disney+ series and a classic TIE Interceptor. Din was portrayed by Pedro Pascal and has featured in every episode of the Mandalorian so far. LEGO first released a Durasteel armour variant of the minifigure in 2019 before releasing a Beskar armour variant in 2021. Head of an Imperial remnant, Moff Gideon is a ruthless military leader who will stop at nothing to capture the child. Moff Gideon was portrayed by Giancarlo Esposito and featured in 7 episodes of the series. LEGO first released a Moff Gideon minifigure in set 75315: Imperial Light Cruiser. Although LEGO have released a fairly extensive wave of Mandalorian sets there are still numerous characters that have yet to be turned into minifigures. In my next article, I will examine which named characters deserve minifigures and highlight some alternatives if you can’t wait for LEGO to produce an official version of the character. Assassin Droid turned baby sitter, IG-11 was reprogrammed by Kuill to protect the child at all costs. He heroically sacrificed himself to protect the Mando and his friend from Moff Gideon’s formidable battalion of stormtroopers. He was voiced by the renowned director, Taika Waititi. LEGO first produced an IG-11 minifigure in the 2020 set 75292: The Razor Crest.

Comparatively muted colours decorate the third Mandalorian Warrior. His dark orange helmet looks impressive though, featuring metallic silver highlights and patterns resembling Jaig Eyes which have previously appeared on Captain Rex. Unfortunately, the dark brown legs are undecorated so contrast with the other minifigures, although this Mandalorian's torso armour is beautifully detailed. Known only as “the Armorer”, this battle-hardened warrior led a secret Mandalorian clan under Nevarro’s city streets. “The Armorer” was portrayed by Emily Swallow and featured in 3 episodes of the Mandalorian. LEGO first debuted an “Armorer” minifigure in set 75319: The Armorers Mandalorian Forge.

Overall

In Chapter 16, The Rescue, Luke Skywalker made a dramatic return, saving the Mandalorian and his friends from a formidable army of Dark troopers. Luke Skywalker was digitally recreated using performances from both Mark Hamill and Max Lloyd-Jones. Although LEGO did not include a Luke Skywalker minifigure in the Imperial Light Cruiser, they have released numerous Luke minifigures over the years. I hope you have found this review informative. Let us know by liking this article and share your opinion of the set in the comments below. He survived! The legendary bounty hunter returned in style on a quest to reclaim his armour. Temuera Morrison portrayed Boba Fett in 4 episodes of the Mandalorian and is due to reprise his role in the Book of Boba Fett later this year. Although LEGO has released numerous variants of Boba Fett, there is only one based on his appearance in the Mandalorian (it was included in set 75312: Boba Fett’s Starship). The fourth Mandalorian minifigure is my favourite. His dark azure armour looks superb, especially in combination with the purple designs and realistic damage across the helmet. I am similarly delighted with the chest armour which covers both sides of the torso and the mismatched leg protection seems perfect. This resolute warrior also sports an olive green cape. Turning the structure around reveals space for minifigures to defend their position. Two stud shooters may be attached here, allowing one Mandalorian Warrior to board the swoop bike while another takes cover and watches for approaching enemies. Nevertheless, this model is exceptionally dull in my view.

Paz Vizsla was portrayed by Tait Fletcher and voiced by the Mandalorian’s Executive Producer, Jon Favreau. LEGO first released a Paz Vizsla minifigure in set 75319: The Armorers Mandalorian Forge. If you’re after a higher level of detail it’s worth considering FireStar Toys Custom Printed SW Forge-Keeper minifigure. The figure comes with an exclusive set of forging tools, an awesome helmet and a fur cape piece. Greef Karga was portrayed by the legendary Carl Weathers and featured in 6 episodes of the Mandalorian. Set 75292: The Razor Crest included a Greef Karga minifigure in his Season 1 attire. LEGO then released a second variant of the minifigure in set 75311: The Imperial Armoured Marauder featuring Karga’s Season 2 Magistrate outfit.
