Theme
Star Wars
Year Released
2022. Debuted in the 75337 AT-TE Walker, following a multi-year gap in 212th trooper production.
Rarity
Uncommon. While exclusive to one mid-to-high priced set, it is mass-produced within that set rather than being a limited promotional item.
Head
Standard Nougat 'Angry Clone' face (modern style). Dual-sided printing is not present on this specific head mold (3626cpb2964). Contains a Phase 2 helmet with orange markings.
Torso
Phase 2 Clone Trooper armor with 212th Battalion orange markings. Features white arms with orange shoulders/upper arms, and black hands. Back printing includes thermal detonator and armor plating.
Legs
Standard white legs with 212th orange knee armor and toe detailing. Printing includes belt and thigh armor outlines.
Accessories
Usually comes with a standard black DC-15S blaster carbine (not shown in image). The helmet includes holes for rangefinders or visors.
Color Scheme
Primary white with bright orange accents representing the 212th Attack Battalion under Commander Cody.
Printing Details
High-fidelity pad printing. Features 'weathered' or 'scuffed' orange markings rather than solid blocks, reflecting the grit of the Clone Wars.
Variants
Differs from the 2014 version (sw0522) which lacked leg printing and had a different helmet mold. This 2022 version (sw1235) has more detailed leg prints and updated head printing.
Condition Notes
Look for 'printing misalignment' on the helmet's orange triangle; many early batches had the orange peak too low. Check for cracks in the heels or torso sides.
Estimated Value
Used Complete: $12.00 - $18.00 USD | New/Mint: $20.00 - $25.00 USD depending on the current retirement status of the parent set.
Price (New)
Included in set 75337 which retailed for $139.99 USD. The set contained three of these specific troopers.
Compatible Sets
75337 AT-TE Walker (2022).
Character Background
Soldiers of the 212th Attack Battalion, led by Clone Commander Cody and Jedi General Obi-Wan Kenobi. They participated in the Siege of Utapau.
Design Notes
First 212th trooper to feature the 'helmet holes' mold, allowing for customization with accessories. The leg printing is a significant upgrade over previous generations.
Similar Minifigures
sw0522 (2014 212th Trooper), sw1097 (501st Legion Clone), sw1189 (Clone Trooper Commander Cody - Phase 2).
Collectibility
High. Army builders often purchase many of these to create battalions, which keeps the secondary market demand stable and price relatively high for a non-named character.
History
Follows the evolution of the LEGO Clone Trooper from the 2002 yellow-skinned version to the 2014 'realistic' movie style, now settling into this 'modern-standard' hybrid style.
Interesting Facts
The 'orange arms' on this version were a point of debate in the fan community prior to release, as some preferred the white arms with orange shoulder printing seen in earlier mock-ups.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed in ranks of three or more, or positioned alongside the 2022 Phase 2 Commander Cody and an AT-TE walker.
Modification Potential
High. The helmet holes allow for the addition of macrobinoculars or rangefinders to create specialist units like Sharpshooters.
Overall Assessment
An excellent, highly detailed minifigure and a essential for Star Wars collectors. The leg printing and helmet detailing make it the definitive version of the 212th soldier to date.
