Tusken Raider - sw0052

Discover an early LEGO Star Wars character with the LEGO® Star Wars Tusken Raider Minifigure (sw0052). Released in 2002, this classic version of Tatooine's Sand People features a printed tan head, crossed shoulder belts and plain tan legs, capturing the distinctive design of the original LEGO Star Wars minifigures.

Classic Tusken Raider Design from 2002

Unlike later Tusken Raider variants with molded head spikes and printed leg wrappings, sw0052 uses a traditional minifigure head with a printed mask design. Its tan torso features reddish brown crossed bandoliers and equipment details, complemented by tan arms, dark gray hands and dark gray hips.

The simple, recognisable design reflects the style of early LEGO Star Wars figures and makes this version particularly interesting for collectors of original-release minifigures.
