Year Released
Released in 2010. It debuted in the set 8095 General Grievous' Starfighter during the peak of the Clone Wars animated series popularity.
Rarity
Uncommon to Rare. This specific version was only available in one retail set and has since been replaced by tan or dark gray versions.
Head
The head is a unique mold with printing for the Kaleesh eyes (yellow with black pupils) and mechanical faceplate details. It is a one-piece molded component designed specifically for this character.
Torso
Unique molded white torso with angled arm connection points to allow for his four-arm configuration. It features mechanical rib-cage designs and internal mechanical printing.
Legs
Specialized angled mechanical legs with two toes on each foot, designed to give the figure a hunched, predatory stance characteristic of the character in The Clone Wars series.
Accessories
Typically comes with four lightsabers (two neon-green, two trans-light blue) with chrome or light-bluish gray hilts. In this specific image, he is displayed with four lightsabers.
Color Scheme
Primary White with accents of light and dark bluish-gray. Eyes are yellow. The lightsabers provide high-contrast green and blue accents.
Printing Details
High-quality eye printing and mechanical detailing on the face and torso. Notable for having specific mechanical etchings that replicate the CGI model from the 2008 TV show.
Variants
This is the distinctive 'White' version based on the early Clone Wars style. Variants include the 2005 original (sw0134), the tan 2014 version (sw0515), and the most recent tan version (sw1114).
Condition Notes
The clips on the arms are prone to stress marks and cracking after repeated posing. The white plastic can yellow over time if exposed to UV light. Chrome hilts (if present) often show wear or bubbling.
Estimated Value
Used complete: $25 - $35 USD. New/Mint condition: $45 - $60 USD. Values vary based on the integrity of the arm clips and the presence of all four lightsabers.
Price (New)
Set 8095 retailed for $49.99 USD in 2010. The minifigure was a significant portion of the set's desirability.

Character Background
General Grievous is the cyborg Supreme Commander of the Separatist Droid Army. His white armor reflects his appearance during the early seasons of the Star Wars: The Clone Wars animated series.
Design Notes
This was a major redesign from the 2005 version, introducing the 'Four Arm' single-piece torso and more accurate specialized legs, representing a leap in LEGO's ability to create non-standard minifigure bodies.
Similar Minifigures
General Grievous (sw0515 tan version), General Grievous (sw1114), and Pre Vizsla (sw0416) for Clone Wars era collectibility.
Collectibility
High. While not the most expensive figure, it is a definitive version of a fan-favorite character and essential for 'The Clone Wars' completionists.
History
Followed the original 2005 tan/gray figure; it was the first time Grievous received a dedicated, screen-accurate mold for his head and torso rather than using standard droid parts.
Interesting Facts
The white color is technically more accurate to the 'clean' early look of the animated series whereas later LEGO versions moved to tan to reflect the 'weathered' film look.
Display Suggestions
Display in a hunched-over 'combat' pose with all four lightsabers fanned out. Looks excellent alongside Obi-Wan Kenobi (Clone Wars) or Battle Droids.
Modification Potential
Commonly modified by adding the official tan/gray cape from the 2014 version to this white body for a more 'complete' look.
Overall Assessment
An iconic 10/10 design for its era. It captures the menacing silhouette of the character better than the figures that preceded it and remains a staple of Star Wars LEGO collections.
