Rarity
Uncommon - This specific version was released in widely available sets from 2019-2022, but has since been replaced by newer printing variations.
Head
Light Nougat, standard modern angry clone/soldier expression with furrowed brow and clenched teeth; single-sided printing.
Torso
White Stormtrooper armor with detailed black lines, thermal detonator on the back, and gray squares near the neck area; white arms and black hands.
Legs
White legs with black hip joint; front printing features knee plates and armor plating details; no side or back printing.
Accessories
Includes the 2019 dual-molded helmet with black vents, gray cooling tiles, and blue stripes. Usually paired with a standard black medium blaster (not shown).
Color Scheme
Classic stark white and black, accented by gray utility details and blue helmet vent stripes.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on head, torso, and legs. The helmet represents 'dual-molding' technology where white and black plastics are fused, rather than just printed.
Variants
Identical to sw0997 but with a different head print; distinguished from sw1131 which features different torso shading and print alignment.
Condition Notes
Prone to helmet 'clutch' issues where it sits loosely. Check for yellowing on white plastic and scuffing on the black dual-molded helmet nose.
Estimated Value
Used: $4.00 - $6.00 USD; New: $7.00 - $9.00 USD. Prices fluctuate based on bulk army-building demand.
Price (New)
Released in sets ranging from $14.99 (75262) to $99.99 (75243).
Compatible Sets
75262 Imperial Dropship – 20th Anniversary Edition, 75243 Slave I – 20th Anniversary Edition, 75235 X-Wing Starfighter Trench Run.
Character Background
The ubiquitous ground force of the Galactic Empire, modeled after the Imperial designs from 'A New Hope'.
Design Notes
The dual-molded helmet was controversial among fans as it cannot rotate when placed on many armored torsos, unlike the previous 2014-2018 mold.
Similar Minifigures
sw0585 (2014 Rebels version), sw0997 (2019 version with different face), sw1273 (2023 version).
Collectibility
High for army builders but moderate for rare-figure hunters due to its high production numbers between 2019 and 2021.
History
Represents the 4th major redesign of the Stormtrooper helmet since the theme's inception in 1999.
Interesting Facts
This helmet design is slightly larger than previous versions, leading fans to nickname it the 'Family Guy' or 'Goofy' helmet due to its proportions.
Display Suggestions
Ideal for Rank-and-File displays on a gray baseplate or inside an Imperial Star Destroyer MOC.
Modification Potential
Excellent for 'purist' customs; the torso and legs are versatile for other Imperial officer or pilot customs.
Overall Assessment
A solid, detailed figure that represents a specific era of LEGO Star Wars design technology, though polarising due to the helmet's scale.
