Theme
Star Wars
Year Released
2019 - Debuted in 75254 AT-ST Raider during the launch wave of The Mandalorian sets.
Rarity
Uncommon. While not as rare as convention exclusives, this specific 'dirty' variant is only found in two sets relative to the hundreds of thousands of standard clean Stormtroopers.
Head
Standard 'Angry Clone' flesh-tone head under a dual-molded white and black helmet featuring grimy/weathered printing.
Torso
White torso with Stormtrooper armor pattern including sand/dirt weathering prints, black arms, and black hands.
Legs
White legs and hips with black and grey armor printing, featuring distinct weathering and dirt stains on the front.
Accessories
Usually paired with a standard black blaster (E-11), though not pictured in the user's hand.
Color Scheme
White and Black base with Dark Tan and Sand Blue weathering accents.
Printing Details
Highly detailed pad printing including battle-scars and dirt. The helmet is dual-molded (not just printed), which prevents the 'misaligned mouth' issue of older versions.
Variants
sw0188 (Classic), sw0585 (Rebels), sw0997 (Clean 2019 version). This specific sw1051 is the 'Grimy' variant.
Condition Notes
The dual-molded helmet is durable, but the torso printing can wear at the edges. Check for 'arm cracks' on the white plastic sides.
Estimated Value
New: $10 - $15 | Used: $7 - $11. Prices fluctuate based on the popularity of The Mandalorian characters.
Price (New)
The cheapest set was 75254 for $49.99, which included four minifigures.
Compatible Sets
75254 AT-ST Raider, 75311 Imperial Armored Marauder.
Character Background
Represents the Remnant Stormtroopers seen in the early seasons of The Mandalorian, characterized by their unkempt, weathered armor following the Empire's fall.
Design Notes
Features the controversial 'wide-mouth' dual-mold helmet design introduced in 2019, which lacks the ability to turn the head easily but offers superior detail and longevity.
Similar Minifigures
sw0997 (Clean version), sw1113 (Moff Gideon), sw1055 (Incinerator Trooper).
Collectibility
High for army builders looking for variety in their Imperial ranks and fans of the Post-Endor era of Star Wars.
History
Initially met with mixed reviews due to the fixed-neck helmet design, collectors eventually embraced the weathering as a unique aesthetic for diorama building.
Interesting Facts
This was one of the first figures to show 'wear and tear' through printing rather than custom painting, a milestone for official LEGO 'weathering' techniques.
Display Suggestions
Ideal for a Nevarro street scene or displayed with the 75254 AT-ST to capture the skirmish feel.
Modification Potential
The weathered helmet and torso are excellent for custom 'zombie' troopers or post-apocalyptic MOCs.
Overall Assessment
A solid figure for any collector; the weather-beaten look provides a much-needed break from the pristine look of standard Imperial armies.
