Rarity
Uncommon. While not a limited promotional item, it appeared in only one mid-priced set and remains highly sought after by army builders.
Head
Standard Nougat Star Wars Clone Trooper head with angry expression; features an specialized white Airborne Trooper helmet with orange markings and a black visor print.
Torso
White torso with highly detailed 212th Attack Battalion printing; includes orange chest plates, a black utility strap, and a belt. Back is printed with armor plating and oxygen canisters.
Legs
White legs with orange armor plating on the knees and toes; features detailed fabric texture printing on the thighs and hip piece.
Accessories
Typically includes a black DC-15S blaster (missing in image) and a black waist cape (kama) fabric piece. The image shows the figure without its weapon.
Color Scheme
Primary white with Bright Light Orange accents representing the 212th Battalion; uses black for details and the waist cape.
Printing Details
High-fidelity pad printing. Features 'battle-worn' scuff marks on the orange patterns. Leg printing is comprehensive, extending to the feet.
Variants
This 2020 version (sw1100) features updated leg and torso printing compared to the 2014 version (sw0523), which lacked foot printing and had different helmet proportions.
Condition Notes
Watch for fraying on the fabric kama or 'kama-crease' where it wraps around the legs. Torso cracks under the arms are a common stress point for this era.
Estimated Value
New: $35 - $45; Used: $25 - $32. Prices fluctuate based on the condition of the fragile cloth kama.

Character Background
Airborne Troopers are specialized units within the Grand Army of the Republic, specifically belonging to the 212th Attack Battalion led by Commander Cody and Obi-Wan Kenobi.
Design Notes
The helmet is a unique mold designed to replicate the beehive-like shape of the Paratrooper gear. Printing includes dirt and weathering to match the Utapau battle aesthetic.
Similar Minifigures
sw0523 (2014 Airborne Trooper), sw1101 (212th Clone Trooper), sw0453 (212th Battalion Trooper with yellow markings).
Collectibility
High. The 212th Battalion is one of the most popular legions for Star Wars collectors, and the Airborne variant is a standout for its unique helmet mold.
History
First introduced in 2014, this 2020 redesign marked a major leap in print detail, specifically the addition of leg and foot printing which was absent in previous clones.
Interesting Facts
Despite being an Airborne trooper, this specific minifigure was included in a set depicting the battle on Utapau, where they were famously seen rappelling down onto droids.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed in a 212th Battalion formation alongside Commander Cody and standard 212th infantry. Looks excellent in a rocky orange (Utapau) diorama.
Modification Potential
Excellent for customizers; the helmet mold is a favorite for custom 'Purist' clones like Commander Keller or other specialized airborne units.
Overall Assessment
A top-tier Star Wars minifigure. The unique helmet mold and extensive leg printing make sw1100 a premium example of modern LEGO Star Wars design.
