Review: 75348 Mandalorian Fang Fighter vs. TIE Interceptor
Posted by CapnRex101,
Twenty years after the original minifigure-scale TIE Bomber was released, LEGO finally revisited the classic vessel in January. 75348 Mandalorian Fang Fighter vs. TIE Interceptor revisits another celebrated TIE-series vehicle, with the famously agile TIE/in Interceptor!
6206 TIE Interceptor arrived in 2006, providing ample opportunity for major improvements this time. The designer has seemingly obliged, while the Fang Fighter also has considerable potential, recreating the memorable Mandalorian starfighter designed for Star Wars Rebels.
Summary
75348 Mandalorian Fang Fighter vs TIE Interceptor, 957 pieces.
£89.99 / $99.99 / €99.99 | 9.4p/10.4c/10.4c per piece.

The new TIE Interceptor is impressive on the whole, but the Fang Fighter is disappointing
- A modern TIE Interceptor, at last!
- Two enjoyable vehicles for play
- Highly detailed TIE Interceptor
- Fang Fighter wings are static
- TIE Interceptor could be smaller
- Underwhelming minifigures

Minifigures
This version of The Mandalorian has appeared in three sets this year, including an updated helmet to parallel the minifigure in 75331 The Razor Crest. The proportions of the visor are therefore much-improved and I like the printed ridge on top, although this does not extend far over the helmet. The torso and legs, however, are exceptionally detailed, as usual. The metallic silver armour looks nice and decoration continues on the arms.
Koska Reeves or Axe Woves would have been brilliant additions to this set, but instead we receive the little-seen Mandalorian Fleet Commander. While not my preferred choice, this character's dark blue and silver garb is appealing, with accents of brighter blue. I love the silver faceplate and the shape of the visor matches Din Djarin's helmet as well.
The double-sided head beneath the helmet was created for Kingo from The Eternals. The two happy expressions are not ideal for the commander, but the skin tone is appropriate and I like the hair element. Din Djarin sadly lacks a hair piece, although he is armed with the Darksaber, which features a new blade. Some have criticised the use of a standard hilt here, but this does not particularly bother me.
LEGO often makes subtle adjustments to their TIE Pilot minifigures, including for 75347 TIE Bomber earlier this year. A near-identical minifigure is supplied here, hence the Imperial sigils adorning the helmet are white, instead of metallic silver. Silver details highlight other features of the helmet though, as well as the breathing tubes connected to the life support pack.
The buttons on the life support pack were enlarged for the pilot in 75347 TIE Bomber, so their colours are slightly more visible, which is welcome on such a dark figure. R2-E6 joins the pilot and expands the roster of Imperial Astromech droids, featuring metallic silver panels, similar to the details on the TIE Pilot. Sadly, only one side of the droid's cylindrical body is decorated.
Imperial personnel now feature various heads underneath their helmets and the TIE Pilot is no exception, including the female head introduced in 75313 AT-AT. A blaster pistol is provided too, as normal. Of course, having seen The Mandalorian season three, Moff Gideon or his armoured commandos would have been perfect minifigures for this set, but that information was probably unavailable to LEGO during development.
The Completed Model
Fang-class starfighters were developed for Star Wars Rebels, serving as a lighter counterpart to the established Kom'rk-class fighter. The vessel's Mandalorian affiliation is immediately obvious and its angular silhouette is faithfully duplicated, while the colour combination of white and dark bluish grey is fairly striking, although a more vibrant livery would have been welcome.
After all, these starfighters did not appear very prominently in The Mandalorian season three, but I presume the colours were influenced by concept artwork. Nonetheless, the sharp tips of the wings look excellent and I like how the patches of dark bluish grey follow the outline of this fighter. The stubby nose looks good as well, but should not protrude as far forwards.
Even though this model looks good, on the whole, it lacks an essential feature. Similar to many other Mandalorian craft, the wing assembly should rotate around the cockpit, but the designer has instead integrated them. I presume this decision was taken to strengthen the model and perhaps it was necessary, although omitting such a characteristic feature of the Fang Fighter is disappointing.
However, the cockpit does look impressive, using the canopy produced for X-wing starfighters, with unique decoration. The interior is nicely detailed too, featuring full controls and contrasting tan upholstery. Furthermore, I like the texture on the laser cannons, but their position beside the cockpit is odd, as the Fang Fighter's primary weapons should be located on the leading edges of the wings.
A pair of spring-loaded shooters are mounted on the underside, mirroring the laser cannons on top. Similarly, the dark bluish grey pattern continues under the wings, so they look reasonable from above and below, which only makes the decision to combine the wings and the fuselage more surprising. Had the wings rotated, these matching patterns would have been vital.
On the other hand, keeping the model completely rigid improves its swooshability. Additionally, the engines provide a suitable place to grip this vehicle and their position reflects the onscreen starfighter. The shape of the engines leaves much to be desired though, as there should be four small nacelles in the middle and one on each side.
The new TIE/in Interceptor is undoubtedly the highlight of this set, returning to minifigure-scale seventeen years after 6206 TIE Interceptor was released. LEGO designs have advanced since then and the TIE Interceptor's proportions are accordingly much closer to the source material on this occasion. Also, the old blue accents have been abandoned in favour of light bluish grey.
Pleasingly, this model completes the modern collection of TIE-series vehicles from the Original Trilogy, joining 75300 Imperial TIE Fighter, 75347 TIE Bomber and the TIE Advanced x1 from 75150 Vader's TIE Advanced vs. A-wing Starfighter. Unfortunately, the scale of these fighters varies somewhat, mainly because the TIE Interceptor is much larger than needed, measuring 24cm in length.
Increased size often results in increased detail, but I think a smaller version could have been produced, ideally measuring about 16cm long. I wonder whether this viewport was a deciding factor in determining the scale because a smaller interceptor would have required the 4x4 dish from 75347 TIE Bomber, whereas this 6x6 component is more detailed.
I like how 1x6 wheel arches follow the curvature of the viewport on each side, without affecting its opening function. The roof hatch also opens and includes another printed dish on top, which is a feature retained from the original 6206 TIE Interceptor. A couple of Technic elements can be seen inside the cockpit, but the interior is otherwise relatively detailed.
Trans-red 1x1 slopes flank a printed console and there is room for the pilot, of course. However, the minifigure sits on a 2x2 tile, so tends to move around during play. I understand the need for easy removal, but surely a 1x2 plate and a 1x2 tile would have been more effective. In addition, there is nowhere to keep the pilot's blaster pistol, despite the space available to add some clips.
While the interior leaves something to be desired, the exterior looks splendid. The shape of the cockpit module is fairly accurate, using layers of curved plates and tiles to create an impression of curvature, while trans-red 1x1 round tiles denote the eponymous twin ion engines. The shape of the exhaust neutraliser grid between the engines could be better though, as this round panel should be hexagonal.
That may have required a sticker though, which would have been a shame because the set is actually free of stickers! Two spring-loaded shooters can be activated from the back and these form the forward laser cannons from the front. Their trans-bright green colour matches Imperial laser bolts onscreen, but the blue Technic pins placed on the wing pylons decidedly differ from the original starfighter.
Fortunately, the blue pins are only visible from behind. Also, the solar array wings feel secure and their shape looks absolutely perfect. The wedge plates introduced quite recently are very useful here and the texture in the middle of each wing looks superb, complete with 1x1 slopes for the targeting sensors. These are another familiar feature from 6206 TIE Interceptor.
Laser cannons are fixed on the wingtips and these look nice, but they are surprisingly fragile. Even so, I am pleased with the detail across the wings and their proportions appear accurate, while black wedge plates on the inward-facing surfaces match those on the exterior. The grey frames around the solar collectors therefore look accurate.
Overall
LEGO has produced several sets pairing starfighters, which are sometimes criticised for the unequal quality of their vehicles. 75348 Mandalorian Fang Fighter vs. TIE Interceptor suffers from a similar issue, as I think the TIE Interceptor is far more appealing than the Fang Fighter, which frustratingly lacks rotating wings. At this scale, capturing the wing motion should have been possible.
I think the TIE Interceptor could perhaps have been improved as well, especially by scaling the model down to match other TIE-series vehicles and potentially lower the price. However, I think £89.99, $99.99 or €99.99 would represent fair value for these two fighters, if only the characters included were more interesting because this selection provides limited appeal.

While I liek LEGO doing two packs like this and the E-Wing I wish they would just sell these as separate items. I get it, take one popular ship that will sell and one that's not as popular and tie them together but I am less likely to buy them then, not more likely.
The Interceptor is mayyyyybe my favorite STAR WARS ship, but I've not seen MANDO S3 (only up through season 2.5, aka BOOK OF SPY KIDS). So I'd definitely pass on this set.
Still, it looks really good. Absolutely mindboggling that it's taken nearly 2 decades to get a redone version of the Interceptor.
I've wanted a Lego TIE Interceptor for years and years so I was super excited when this came out. It rounds out my quartet of TIE ships nicely. The shape of the cockpit build is a little offputting and now that the scale has been pointed out I won't be able to unsee it, but overall I'm pretty happy with the build.
As to the Fang fighter, I was completely fine with its inclusion in the set as I like Mandalorian stuff and the build looked decent, but in hand the ship is a bit dull. It's good for a bit of swooshing, but it's ultimately just a solid, flat, angular white and grey thing. I get why they didn't do the rotating cockpit, but I wish it had even the most simple rotation function, just to make it that bit more interesting.
Minifigs are dope though. Glad to get the new Mando helmet print and darksaber piece, and always love a new Mandalorian figure.
I continue to appreciate that I bought the 2018 Solo-themed TIE Fighter (on clearance!), as it's probably the last accurate-sized OT TIE we'll get in awhile.
I like the Interceptor in this, although not at these prices, and particularly not with a second ship that's pretty forgettable.
I'm mixed in this one. I really want that TIE Interceptor. But I have no desire for the Fang fighter. Might just have to get the parts on BrickLink later.
The Interveptor looks very good, might have to part it out sometime and also design a regular TIE around it's fuselage.
I found that set very underwhelming, TBH.
The Fang is built like sets were 15 years ago: it's just a bunch of plates on top of one another. I took it apart for the parts (which are nice, that said).
And the TIE has these gaps next to the cockpit that are not nice at all. I do like its size however, because it's the same scale as 75211.
What I did was actually modding the interceptor by keeping the wings/solar pannels, but using the 75211 fuselage. Now it looks great and I love it!
I’m tempted by this, but since I own both the Major Vonreg interceptor (which I love) and the last Mandalorian fighter I don’t know if I can quite justify this one. Plus, I don’t relish having to constantly reattach those pieces on the wingtips.
When I got this set I thought that I'd like the Interceptor better and maybe part out the Fang. To my surprise, I actually like the Fang better. It's totally inaccurate to the source material, but it's very, very swooshable and gives me strong Classic Space vibes - or at least it reminds me a lot of my own small Classic Space MOCs. The Interceptor is a very good model, but it's heavier and the wings wobble a little bit (the curse of nearly all TIE fighters). Also, it feels like it stresses the lower angle connectors when I sit it level on its wings, and I don't like that. So the Fang wins the day for me!
Not a big Star Wars fan but I'll probably buy this set tonight. $15 Honey cashback + $10 VIP points + Scary Pirate Island GWP is pretty good value for this. Too bad the Halloween VIP GWP is sold out.
TIE Bomber too small. TIE Interceptor too big.
And I could care less about the Fin Fang Foo Fighter, wish the TIE was sold by itself.
Other than that? GIMME GIMME.
Thanks for the review!
It's a shame they did not show us the actual space/atmospheric dogfights between the Fangs and Interceptors, due to budget constraints.
I initially assumed the Fang was a different version or model of the SW Rebels ones, hence, the missing rotating feature, but i'm most likely wrong.
I'm glad I have 9492 TIE Fighter, it looks great with the Interceptor on display.
I like that the Fang's wings don't spin: the rotating wings or cockpit (B-wing, Kom'rk-class, T-6 Shuttle) just never made sense to me. This is just needless complication on a spacecraft, just "ooh, doesn't that look cool".
I like the occasional two-pack set: this and 75364 are great. A "battle in a box".
Ironically I feel like that LEGO Din is more Pedro Pascal in the suit than was actually on Mandalorian Season 3... I know the scheduling things with The Last of Us meant Season 3 had Pedro in more of a voice-over role but at this point I would almost love if LEGO gave us a Brendan Wayne take on the character (even if it was a May the 4th promotional set or something) since it seems most of the time Din in the suit is Brendan and not Pedro anyways. Yeah the Season 1 suit all covered in mud and beat up after the Mudhorn fight with a Brendan Wayne face would be a neat tribute to the stuntman who is in the armor most of the time it seems.
Enough commentary on behind the scenes production nonsense though, I do like this set. Nice set of starships and even if the figures are a bit lackluster I still think the new Fleet Commander is good and the Imperial stuff is solid army builder figures. I don't mind the larger TIE Interceptor size, how does it compare to the regular Solo TIE Fighter and the Rogue One TIE Striker? Maybe they intended to scale it up to match those older models instead of the new smaller scale for some reason.
If this was just the TIE Intercepter then I would definitely get this but it has that stupid fang fighter and I really don’t care for the Mandolorian or Rebels.
The Tie Advanced x-1 vs A-Wing starfighter was a perfect 2 pack in my opinion though.
I like it. Like it a lot. I bought several when they were on a good sale.
You see, I'm amassing a fleet near Sullust.
The interceptor is fantastic. The Fang Fighter is solid, but underwhelming per the criticism listed above.
I also agree that the figures are the weakest part of the set. Enough Djins already. Really would've shone with a different Mandalorian or even the poor, unfortunate astromech. Something different would've been appreciated.
The set was so terrible that it took this long for them to review it.
Just kidding, but it’s still not the best set ever made and I’m unsure why it took so long for a review to come.
the cockpit shape of the Interceptor is neat, but overall, Rebel Builder's version is better.

This set released May 1st. Since then, CapnRex has published 77 set reviews. I have no idea how long it takes to do a typical review, but you'd need to: build the set; take a lot of photos; choose the best photos; do some research regarding similar sets, previous versions of the minifigures, etc.; write the review; and probably a few more things I haven't even thought of.
It’s a bit sad that the Mandalorian ship got so little love in a set from The Mandalorian subtheme.
Definitely some missed opportunities with minifigure selection here. Armored Moff Gideon, a Mark 2 Dark Trooper/Super Commando, and Axe and/or Koska would all have been good options. Of course, it would have been really nice if Fenn Rau could have returned. But between various revelations in The Mandalorian and Ahsoka, I’m not really holding out hope for that.
I love this set! I modified the Fang Fighter using the instructions for Quarries Workshop model available on Rebrickable. The wings can now spin and the model looks great. I love the TIE interceptor and it looks great with my 9492 TIE fighter.
I do like this set but I was really hoping it would be in the smaller 4x4 cockpit scale. That looks so much better to me than the 6x6 dishes. I do own this one but it looks ridiculously big next to the Bomber and my modded TIE Fighter. I'll downsize it eventually.
Wow, that Fang gets a lot of hate.
Maybe it helps if you're not too much into SW? I'm seeing a cool ship. It reminds me of a Vic Viper, or maybe even a space invader styled like the space invaders from "Space Invaders". I like it a lot.
I like Star Wars swooshable stuff, so two in a set is nice. I liked Major Vonregg's TIE whateveritiscalled better. Somehow this version feels wobblier.
The fang fighter I like because it is made of stacked plates and that is how I used to make my classic space ships many moons ago. And it is pretty indestructable when played with.
All three negative points are super subjective, the first two arguable lore wise. The TIE is perfect scale and the Fang fighter wings don't rotate, it's a smaller fighter that had little screen time (that's a better negative point). The minifigs are okay I guess, 2 for each vehicle, both none remarkable, unlike the E-wing / Shin Hati combo

The Star Wars.com databank just calls it an Interceptor. I’ve seen the name TIE Baron used too.
I could have sworn you'd reviewed this one already, until I checked and you indeed hadn't.
All the hate for the Fang Fighter makes no sense to me, honestly, because I love it. So much so that my friend and I agreed to pool our money to buy this set and divide the contents. I even volunteered that he could have the Interceptor, because I'd just wanted the Fang.
The static wings aren't a flaw here because they're accurate, and a different model to the ones used by the Protectors of Concord Dawn. I also really like the small space under the bonnet element on the Fang, where the Fleet Commander can store his blaster and thermal detonator; it's literally a perfect space. If I ever find the occasional to buy a whole copy of this set, I'll be sure to mod one of my Fang Fighters for rotating wings though.
I wasn’t sure about the new smaller-scale TIEs when they started appearing… but, now that I’m used to seeing them, they’re actually not too bad a compromise between minifig scale, playability and keeping set pricing down by avoiding the tendency towards bigger and bigger sets. 75211 was great but perhaps a little TOO large.
What’s very obvious, however, in the comparison of the various classes of TIE craft is just how UNDER-sized 74356 TIE Bomber feels compared to the rest. It really is crying out for a re-make using the standard canopy and a larger diameter for the pods, with appropriate wings to better match 75348 and 75150. A custom rebuild cannibalising a couple of sets to achieve this is a future project, as is a matching TIE shuttle with a working passenger pod …when I have the time!

Just to clarify the situation with the Fang Fighter, its wings definitely should rotate. The live action model was designed for The Rise of Skywalker and can be seen here, complete with rotating wings: https://www.instagram.com/p/CNlcCIeDMhu/

Although I agree that it seems undersized, the TIE Bomber is correctly scaled beside 75300 Imperial TIE Fighter. They are much smaller vehicles than I think most people imagine.

There is concept art with the fang fighters without rotating wings - its a classic lego getting images before actual release situation
The Tie Interceptor looks great and is pretty much exactly what I was hoping for after waiting 17 years for an updated version. I'm probably in the minority here but I like the fact that it is larger, and is on-scale with 75211, which is my favorite minifig scale regular Tie Fighter rendition that I definitely prefer over 75300. Don't care for Lego continuing to scale down ships, as we continue to get less value and they will of course continue to jack up the prices. If they had scaled the Interceptor down, we might have gotten the same opaque cockpit canopy we got in 75347 Tie Bomber, where the Tie Pilot can't even see out, and we can't see into the cockpit, which would have been disappointing.
I think the Fang Fighter is OK, I agree it could have been better but I'm OK with it as the second ship included in the set. Yes, the minifigs could have been better if they included Moff Gideon and his commandos from S3 of the Mandalorian, but I don't think the included minifigs are that bad. I'm good with getting another Tie Pilot, Mando with the Darksaber and the Madalorian Fleet Commander.
Anyways I picked this set up on May the 4th and it is in the queue, looking forward to building it soon.

I cannot find any evidence of that, but would be interested to see the artwork. Regardless, introducing a new generation of Fang Fighter would make little sense in-universe. After all, between its appearance in Star Wars Rebels and the events of The Mandalorian season three, Mandalore was either resisting the Empire or being bombed into oblivion, so I doubt there would have been time to introduce a second generation starfighter.
More likely, this is a classic LEGO case of simplifying the design for play, which I understand, but I think the rotating wings could have been included.
There are plenty of real-world examples of military hardware being simplified during wartime, to increase production. It's plausible that this could have happened to the Fang fighter.
Having just built this I don’t think the Fang is disappointing(after researching it a bit more). It’s kinda sucky the wings are fixed, but that’s a casualty of this being a two pack instead of their own set. The Fang is otherwise accurate to its “real life” counterpart.
I love the Interceptor a lot. It’s got some good heft to it & has a great look. The building of the wings was a bit tedious, but it looks glorious.
The Tie Interceptor was so overdue for a remake.
