Theme

Year Released
2024 (Released as part of the 25 Years of LEGO Star Wars celebration)
Rarity
Uncommon but Highly Desirable. Released exclusively in a single set (75387), it is a commemorative anniversary figure with a dedicated 25th-anniversary display stand.
Head
Light flesh tone with printed goatee, specialized tactical headgear tattoo on the right side of the forehead, and determined expression. Helmet is a Phase II ARC Trooper helmet with blue markings and a rangefinder accessory.
Torso
White base with detailed blue and grey ARC Trooper armor printing. Includes a printed kama and pauldron design, though this version utilizes a cloth pauldron and a plastic backpack attachment. Blue arm printing on the left arm and white on the right with specialized markings.
Legs
White with intricate printing representing Phase II clone armor. Features blue 'ARC' accents on the knees and grey weathering details. The hip piece is white with printed belt detailing.
Accessories
Includes two black DC-17 blaster pistols, a light bluish grey rangefinder, a black cloth pauldron, a specialized backpack assembly, and a black 25th-anniversary printed display stand.
Color Scheme
A primary palette of White and Blue (representing the 501st Legion) with accents of Black, Light Bluish Grey, and Dark Bluish Grey.
Printing Details
High-fidelity pad printing on head, torso (front/back), and legs (front). Includes arm printing on the left arm which is a premium feature for Star Wars troopers.
Variants
This is the first and currently only official release of ARC Trooper Fives by LEGO. Previous versions of ARC troopers exist (e.g., sw0377), but none represent this specific character.
Condition Notes
Main concerns include fraying on the cloth pauldron over time and the 'heel' clutch power on the anniversary stand. Since it is a 2024 release, most specimens are currently in near-mint condition.
Estimated Value
$25 - $40 USD (used to new). Prices fluctuate based on whether the anniversary stand and packaging are included.
Price (New)
Included in set 75387 'Boarding the Tantive IV' which retails for $54.99 USD.
Compatible Sets
75387 Boarding the Tantive IV (25th Anniversary Set).
Character Background
Fives (CT-5555) was a prominent ARC Trooper in the 501st Legion who discovered the truth about the Inhibitor Chips during the Clone Wars. He is a fan-favorite character from the Dave Filoni animated series.
Design Notes
LEGO opted for a printed kama on the legs rather than a cloth piece to maintain leg mobility, paired with a specialized cloth pauldron. The head printing includes his signature forehead tattoo which is highly accurate to the show.
Similar Minifigures
ARC Trooper (sw0377), Captain Rex (sw1315), Clone Trooper Jesse (custom common), and 501st Legion Officer (sw1243).
Collectibility
Extremely high. As an anniversary figure of a major character that fans requested for over a decade, it is a cornerstone of current Star Wars collecting.
History
Released for the 25th anniversary of the LEGO Star Wars line in 2024. This marks a shift in LEGO's strategy to include 'fan-service' characters in sets they didn't originally appear in (e.g., Fives on the Tantive IV).
Interesting Facts
Despite being included in the 'Boarding the Tantive IV' set, Fives never actually appeared in that scene in Star Wars canon; he was included purely as an anniversary bonus figure.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed on the included '25 Years of LEGO Star Wars' stand as shown in the image, ideally alongside other anniversary figures like Darth Malak or Saw Gerrera.
Modification Potential
Collectors often replace the printed kama with custom cloth kamas from third-party sellers like Clone Army Customs to match the physical pauldron.
Overall Assessment
9/10. A masterfully executed figure that satisfies a long-standing hole in the Clone Wars roster. The inclusion of the anniversary stand makes it a must-have for serious collectors.
