The 2026 LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar, set 75456, is priced at 62.99 CAD for 293 pieces and rated for ages 6 and up. Unlike some past years that spread across multiple Star Wars eras, this calendar commits fully to The Mandalorian.
That focus shows up most in the minifigure lineup. Rather than a grab bag of characters from across the saga, every figure ties directly back to Mando, Grogu, and the world they move through, several of them wearing designs that don't exist outside this specific box.
Two details make this year's lineup worth a closer look: the holiday sweater treatment given to the three lead characters, and a handful of figures making their first appearance in a Star Wars Advent Calendar at all.
This guide walks through every confirmed minifigure and figure in the set, what makes each one exclusive, and why the small details matter more than they might first appear.
The headline reveal is the coordinated sweater design shared between The Mandalorian and Grogu. Mando's sweater features an image of Grogu, while Grogu's sweater features an image of Mando, a small but deliberate detail that only shows up in this calendar.
Moff Gideon also appears in a holiday sweater of his own, giving the set's antagonist the same festive treatment as its two heroes rather than leaving him out of the seasonal styling entirely.
Beyond the three headline sweater figures, the set includes a Jawa minifigure and an IG-11 figure, both notable inclusions for a Mandalorian-themed Advent Calendar specifically. Neither is a redesign of an existing common figure, they're confirmed as part of this year's exclusive lineup.
IG-11 in particular rounds out the droid presence in the set, giving collectors a named, recognizable character alongside the more generic creature and vehicle pieces that fill out the rest of the calendar.
Rounding out the minifigure count is Carson Teva, a supporting Mandalorian character, alongside a Pit Droid figure done in festive colors specifically for this release. The Pit Droid's seasonal color treatment is a small touch, but it's exactly the kind of detail that separates a calendar-exclusive figure from a standard reissue.
Together, Carson Teva and the festive Pit Droid round out a minifigure lineup that leans on supporting cast and background characters just as much as the three headline names.
Beyond the minifigures proper, the set includes Mudhorn, Bantha, Dewback, and Blurrg figures, all creatures pulled directly from The Mandalorian's world. These aren't minifigures in the traditional sense, but they fill out the same daily-door reveal format as the rest of the set.
Having four distinct creature figures alongside six named minifigures gives this calendar a noticeably larger cast than a typical single-vehicle Star Wars set, spreading the excitement of the reveal across a wider mix of characters and creatures.
None of the figures in this set are simple reissues of parts already sitting in other Star Wars sets. The holiday sweaters on Mando, Grogu, and Moff Gideon are unique to this calendar, and the Jawa, IG-11, and festive Pit Droid are confirmed as new additions rather than recycled molds from an older set.
That matters for anyone weighing whether a 62.99 CAD price point is worth it purely for the figures. A calendar built around genuinely new or variant-only minifigures holds more standalone appeal than one simply repackaging existing inventory around a holiday theme.
Every named character in this lineup also has a role to play across the set's mini-build vehicles, Mando and Grogu pair naturally with the Razor Crest and N-1 Starfighter builds, while Moff Gideon's presence connects to the Imperial-aligned builds elsewhere in the calendar.
That connectivity between figures and builds is covered in full in EVORETRO's companion guide to the calendar's seven mini-build vehicles, worth reading alongside this one for the complete picture of what's behind all 24 doors.
Past Star Wars Advent Calendars have often spread their minifigure roster across multiple films and eras, mixing an Original Trilogy face with a prequel-era droid and a sequel-era hero in the same box. This year's calendar takes a narrower approach, committing every single figure to one corner of the galaxy.
That narrower focus means every minifigure has a reason to be in the same box as the others, Mando, Grogu, Moff Gideon, Carson Teva, the Jawa, IG-11, and the Pit Droid all belong to the same show and, in several cases, the same specific storylines. For a collector who wants a cohesive display rather than a grab bag of unconnected characters, that consistency is a real advantage.
It focuses on Star Wars: The Mandalorian rather than spanning multiple eras.
The Mandalorian, Grogu, and Moff Gideon.
A Jawa minifigure, an IG-11 figure, and a festive-colored Pit Droid.
62.99 CAD for 293 pieces.
Six named minifigures plus four creature figures is a lot to track once the countdown is over. A dedicated case like EVORETRO's Lego Mini-figurine Display Case keeps the full Mandalorian lineup organized in one place instead of scattered across a shelf.
