Theme

Year Released
2020
Rarity
Uncommon. While not exclusive to a limited-run set, it only appeared in one retail set (75286), making it more difficult to amass in large quantities compared to standard battle pack troopers.
Head
Features the 'Nougat' flesh-toned clone trooper head with a determined expression, black eyebrows, and cheek lines. It is topped with a specialized Phase 2 Airborne Trooper helmet mold featuring orange stripe decals and 'dirt' scuff marks.
Torso
White torso with highly detailed printing including orange 212th markings, grey plating, a utility belt, and weathered 'dirt' stains. It features solid orange arms and black hands.
Legs
Standard white legs with orange 212th markings on the hips and upper thighs, featuring knee plate printing and additional weathering/dirt stains to match the torso.
Accessories
Typically comes with a standard black blaster or a long blaster rifle. The figure in the image is missing its weapon accessory.
Color Scheme
A striking white and bright orange primary palette, accented with black joints/hands and light battleship grey mechanical detailing. The 'dirt' scuff marks use a dark tan/grey print.
Printing Details
High-fidelity pad printing. This 2020 version includes significantly more detail than its 2014 predecessor, including dirt stains and more complex line work on the helmet and utility belt.
Variants
An earlier version (sw0523) was released in 2014 with different arms, less weathering, and the older 'balaclava' head style. A newer version exists in 2022/2023 sets (sw1235) with different helmet hole configurations.
Condition Notes
The orange printing on the legs is prone to scratches. Check for 'heel cracks' on the back of the legs and torso side cracks. The white plastic can yellow if exposed to UV light over time.
Estimated Value
Used: $12.00 - $18.00 USD; New: $20.00 - $25.00 USD. Prices fluctuate based on the demand for 212th battalion army building.
Price (New)
Originally included in set 75286 'General Grievous's Starfighter' which retailed for $79.99 USD in 2020.

Character Background
Airborne Troopers were specialized clones within the Grand Army of the Republic, specifically trained for high-altitude drops. This unit belongs to the 212th Attack Battalion led by Commander Cody and Obi-Wan Kenobi.
Design Notes
The Airborne helmet is a unique mold that differs significantly from standard Phase 2 helmets, capturing the beehive-like aesthetic seen in Episode III: Revenge of the Sith.

Collectibility
High. Clone Trooper variants, especially those from specific battalions like the 212th or 501st, have a very high ceiling for appreciation and consistent demand from army builders.
History
This figure represents the 2020 update to the 2014 Airborne Trooper, reflecting LEGO's shift toward more realistic weathering and updated skin tones for the clone faces.
Interesting Facts
Despite being an 'Airborne' trooper, in the set 75286, he is paired with General Grievous, referencing the Battle of Utapau where these troopers were seen in the background.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside Obi-Wan Kenobi and a 212th Battalion AT-TE or Commander Cody to create an Utapau-themed diorama.
Modification Potential
Excellent for purist MOCs. The orange arms and specialized helmet are frequently traded to create custom commanders or specialized 212th units.
Overall Assessment
9/10. A fantastic representation of a niche trooper variant. The weathering and orange color blocking make it a standout piece in any Star Wars collection.
