Greedo, Sand Green Skin, Knee Strap

The Greedo minifigure is highly sought after by Star Wars collectors due to his iconic (albeit brief) appearance in 'Star Wars: A New Hope'. This particular version, with sand green skin and a knee strap print, is desirable because it appeared in the popular and detailed Mos Eisley Cantina sets. The character's notoriety and the high value of the sets he's included in contribute to his collectibility.

Collectors also value the minifigure's unique head mold, which accurately captures Greedo's Rodian features. The printed torso and leg details add to the figure's appeal, making it a must-have for completing a comprehensive Star Wars minifigure collection. Condition is always a key factor for collectors; figures in pristine condition command higher prices.

This version of Greedo is considered relatively rare due to its limited appearances in only two sets, both of which are now retired. While not a limited edition or promotional item, the finite production run of these sets means that the supply of this minifigure is capped. Its exclusivity to the Mos Eisley Cantina sets, particularly the larger and more detailed 75290-1 version, further contributes to its rarity on the aftermarket.

Given Greedo's popularity as a Star Wars character and the retirement of the sets he appears in, this minifigure has good investment potential. The value of the Mos Eisley Cantina sets has generally increased since retirement, driving up demand for the included minifigures. As the supply of these sets dwindles, the value of Greedo is likely to appreciate further, especially for figures in excellent condition. Comparable Star Wars minifigures from iconic scenes have shown consistent growth in value over time.
