Year Released
2015-2017: Contextual release during the Sequel Trilogy era, debuting in sets such as 75101 First Order Special Forces TIE Fighter.
Rarity
Common to Uncommon: Produced in high volumes across several mid-range and large sets, though complete figures with specific helmets are slightly more sought after.
Head
Plain Light Nougat head or standard 'Angry Clone' / First Order trooper face. The helmet is the standout: a black specialized First Order technician/crew mold with a flared back and smooth faceplate.
Torso
Black First Order crew uniform with subtle light bluish gray seam lines, a utility belt with a silver circular buckle, and matching black arms/hands.
Legs
Plain black legs with minimalist hip and knee joint printing to match the military utility aesthetic of the First Order.
Accessories
Usually paired with a small blaster pistol or a specialized technician tool, though many sets included them as pilot/crew supporting roles without major gear.
Color Scheme
Monochromatic: Primarily black with small accents of Light Bluish Gray for the belt and printed details.
Printing Details
High precision pad printing typical of the mid-2010s. Details are subtle, focusing on fabric folds and equipment pouches rather than flashy colors.
Variants
Variations exist with a black cap (officer style) instead of the helmet, and a variant with a red jumpsuit for First Order technicians.
Condition Notes
The high-gloss finish of the black helmet is prone to visible scratches and 'scuffing.' Check for 'arm cracks' on the black torso, a common issue in this era.
Estimated Value
Used: $2.00 - $4.00 USD; New/Mint: $5.00 - $7.00 USD. Value is low due to commonality in multiple sets.
Price (New)
Appeared in sets ranging from $30 (75132 First Order Battle Pack) to $140 (75104 Kylo Ren's Command Shuttle).
Compatible Sets
75101 First Order Special Forces TIE Fighter, 75104 Kylo Ren's Command Shuttle, 75132 First Order Battle Pack, 75197 First Order Specialists Battle Pack.
Character Background
Generic crew members responsible for the operation and maintenance of First Order capital ships and starfighters, seen throughout the Sequel Trilogy.
Design Notes
The helmet design was a significant upgrade from the Imperial Era technicians, featuring a sleek, more aggressive silhouette that fits the 'First Order' aesthetic.
Similar Minifigures
Imperial Crew (sw0604), First Order Officer (sw0670), First Order Gunner (sw0842).
Collectibility
Steady but low. Most collectors use these as 'army builders' for displays rather than high-value investment pieces.
History
Introduced at the start of the LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens line in 2015, marking the transition from Imperial designs to the new Sequel look.
Interesting Facts
The helmet mold is often confused by casual fans with the Knights of Ren or specialized pilots, but it is officially designated for general technical crew.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed in large numbers on a Star Destroyer MOC or standing alongside a First Order TIE Fighter on a black baseplate.
Modification Potential
Excellent for custom 'Dark Side' acolytes or generic futuristic security guards in Cyberpunk MOCs due to the neutral black armor.
Overall Assessment
A solid, well-designed army-builder figure. While not rare, it is an essential component for any Sequel-era Star Wars collection.
