Figure ID

Theme
Star Wars
Year Released
2014, debuting in the set 75053 The Ghost
Rarity
Uncommon. While not a limited promotional figure, it only appeared in two specific sets during the early wave of the Star Wars Rebels line, which has since been retired.
Head
Standard white Stormtrooper helmet with Rebels-style stylized printing (slanted eyes and venting). Underneath is a standard light flesh-toned clone/angry trooper face print.
Torso
White torso with Stormtrooper armor printing featuring unique 'battle damage' marks (scuffs and carbon scoring) on the chest and ribs. It features black hips and white arms with black hands.
Legs
White legs with unique 'battle damage' printing on the thighs and knees, matching the weathered look of the torso. They feature the standard 2014-era leg printing layout.
Accessories
Includes a black 'Stud Shooter' handheld blaster with a transparent red 1x1 round plate as a projectile. The image also shows a small transparent blue stud accessory.
Color Scheme
Primary white and black armor scheme with gray/black scuff marks and a vibrant red 'laser' projectile. The helmet features dark blue cooling fan details characteristic of the Rebels sub-theme.
Printing Details
Pad-printed front and back. The detail level is high, specifically regarding the asymmetrical dirt and damage marks which differ from the pristine 'sw0578' version.
Variants
This is the damaged variant of the Rebels-style Stormtrooper. The clean version is figure sw0578. There are dozens of other Stormtrooper iterations, but this specific 'Rebels' mold is distinct.
Condition Notes
Prone to yellowing if exposed to sunlight. The helmet printing can sometimes chip at the edges. Small stud shooters are prone to losing their spring tension over years of heavy use.
Estimated Value
Used: $8.00 - $12.00 USD; New/Mint: $15.00 - $20.00 USD. Prices fluctuate based on the secondary market demand for Rebels-era figures.
Price (New)
N/A (Individual figure value). Originally included in sets retailing for $89.99 (75053) and $24.99 (75078).
Compatible Sets
75053 The Ghost (2014) and 75078 Imperial Troop Transport (2015).
Character Background
Based on the Imperial stormtroopers seen in the animated series 'Star Wars Rebels'. The stylized look reflects the Ralph McQuarrie-inspired aesthetic of the show's animation.
Design Notes
This figure marked a departure from the realistic movie-style trooper to a more angular, animated look with larger eye lenses on the helmet printing.
Similar Minifigures
Stormtrooper (sw0578), Stormtrooper (sw0630), and the newer dual-molded Stormtroopers (sw0997).
Collectibility
Moderate to High. Fans of the Rebels series specifically seek these out to fill out crew scenes for 'The Ghost'. Highly collectible for 'trooper builders' who want a diverse army.
History
Part of the transition LEGO made in 2014 to create theme-specific trooper designs rather than a unified look for the entire Star Wars line.
Interesting Facts
This was the first time LEGO included 'battle damage' as part of a mass-produced Imperial Stormtrooper's standard printing in a non-promotional set.
Display Suggestions
Looks best when posed behind cover or in a skirmish scene with 'The Ghost' crew (Hera, Kanan, Zeb). Use a clear stand to simulate him being knocked back by a blast.
Modification Potential
Excellent for 'weathered' MOCs. The battle-damaged parts are highly sought after by customizers who create post-war or post-Endor dioramas.
Overall Assessment
A solid, characterful variant of a classic trooper. While the stud-shooter is often disliked by adult collectors compared to the classic mold blaster, the unique printing makes it a standout for army builders.
