High-quality pad printing with fine camouflage detailing. Note the specific weathering on the helmet visor and the crisp lines of the pockets on the torso.

Common wear points include the neck post (cracking) and the printing on the helmet peak. The camouflage print can fade if exposed to sunlight.

Character Background
Part of the 41st Elite Corps under Commander Gree, these scouts were deployed to the wookiee homeworld Kashyyyk to repel Separatist forces during the Clone Wars.

Similar Minifigures
sw1003 (20th Anniversary Scout Trooper), sw0005 (Classic Scout Trooper), sw0519 (41st Kashyyyk Clone Trooper).
Collectibility
High. This figure is a staple for collectors focusing on Prequel Era army building and those completing the 41st Elite Corps unit.
History
Follows the 2005 original (sw0131) but represents the first significant jump in detail and color accuracy for forest-variant troopers.
Interesting Facts
The 'camo' pattern varies slightly in positioning across some batches, making no two figures perfectly identical in print alignment.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed with the Kashyyyk Swamp Speeder or in a forest MOC alongside Wookiee warriors and Yoda.
Modification Potential
Highly modular; parts are frequently swapped with regular Scout Troopers to create custom 'Endor' or 'Desert' camo variants.
Overall Assessment
A top-tier troop builder with excellent camouflage printing and a unique color palette. Highly recommended for Star Wars fans.
