Figure ID
sw1286
Theme
Star Wars
Year Released
2023
Rarity
Uncommon. While exclusive to one specific set, it is a 'grunt' figure meant for army building and was mass-produced via a high-demand vehicle set.
Head
Modern 'Clone' face with nougat skin tone, dark brown eyebrows, and a grim expression. Includes a Phase 2 helmet with red markings, featuring the updated 2020 helmet mold holes for accessories.
Torso
White torso with red chest plate and utility belt printing. Pad-printed grey armor outlines and back detailing. Features white arms and black hands.
Legs
White legs with red knee pads, toe detailing, and hip armor printing. The print alignment spans across the hip piece to the leg fronts for a cohesive look.
Accessories
Standard black DC-15S blaster carbine. The figure is compatible with helmet holes (rangefinders/visors), though they were not standard in the source set.
Color Scheme
Primary white and dark red (Coruscant Guard colors) with black and grey accents for mechanical armor detailing.
Printing Details
High-fidelity pad printing. Features the 2020-style 'unified' clone aesthetic which blends movie and animation styles. Includes back torso and front leg/toe printing.
Variants
Distinct from sw0531 (2014) which had older printing styles and no helmet holes. This 2023 version features the updated helmet mold and more accurate red waist printing.
Condition Notes
Watch for 'helmet hole' mold imperfections or misaligned printing on the waist/legs. As a white figure, it is susceptible to yellowing if displayed in direct sunlight.
Estimated Value
$10.00 - $14.00 (Used); $15.00+ (New). Values fluctuate based on army-building demand.
Price (New)
Contained in set 75354 ($139.99 RRP). This figure accounts for approximately 10% of the set's secondary market value.
Compatible Sets
75354 Coruscant Guard Gunship (2023)
Character Background
Members of the Coruscant Guard, an elite unit of clone troopers assigned to protect the capital planet and serve as security for Chancellor Palpatine.
Design Notes
Utilizes the 'strait' visor print style which polarized some fans due to its departure from the sharp-angled visors of the 2014 predecessor.
Similar Minifigures
sw0531 (Phase 2 Shock Trooper), sw1097 (501st Legion Clone), sw1146 (Ahsoka's 332nd Company Clone).
Collectibility
High. Shock Troopers are a fan-favorite variant. Despite being un-named grunts, their striking red color makes them highly sought after for dioramas.
History
Initially introduced in 2007 (Phase 1), the Phase 2 version returned in 2023 after nearly a decade-long absence from the LEGO Star Wars lineup.
Interesting Facts
This version was released specifically to coincide with the appearance of the Coruscant Guard in the 'Ahsoka' Disney+ series flashback scenes.
Display Suggestions
Display in ranks of four or more against a grey 'Imperial/Republic base' background, or flanking a Chancellor Palpatine/Padmé Amidala figure.
Modification Potential
Excellent for purist customs; many fans swap the arms for dual-molded red/white arms or add red capes/pauldrons to create a Commander Fox variant.
Overall Assessment
A top-tier army builder. While the helmet-hole placement is controversial to some purists, the printing quality and color accuracy make it a must-have for Clone Wars fans.
