Rarity
Common to Uncommon (Assembly of mixed standard parts)
Head
Blue head with a green scouter eye-patch print, depicting a character similar to Tagoma from Dragon Ball Super (likely a third-party custom print or imitation).
Torso
Dark Brown Torso with a print representing a Brown Rebel Pilot Flight Suit, originally belonging to Antoc Merrick from LEGO Star Wars. It features a printed chest box and grey belt.
Legs
Plain Black standard legs with no printing.
Accessories
Large dark pearl grey angular shoulder armor (Pauldron) often found in Ninjago or Nexo Knights sets, and a black textured spiky hairpiece.
Color Scheme
Dark brown, black, dark grey, and dark blue. The blue skin tone contrasts with the muted earthen tones of the armor.
Printing Details
The torso features accurate pad printing for a Star Wars pilot; the head features specific custom printing for a scouter/cybernetic eye common in anime-inspired customs.
Variants
This is a non-standard configuration. The torso is from set 75306, while the head and armor are swapped from other themes or custom sources.
Condition Notes
The torso appears to have minor edge wear. Black legs are prone to visible scratches. The armor piece is securely fitted over the neck post. Assessment: Good condition but non-authentic configuration.
Estimated Value
$5.00 - $12.00 USD. The torso alone (sw1163) is worth approx $4; the value depends on the origin of the custom head.
Price (New)
Antoc Merrick originally appeared in the $1,000+ LEGO 75252 Imperial Star Destroyer (as a bonus/alternate) or set 75306 Droid. This figure is a frankenstein of parts.
Compatible Sets
75306: Imperial Probe Droid (Source of Torso); Various Ninjago sets (Source of Armor).
Character Background
While the torso is a Rebel general from Rogue One, the overall assembly is clearly intended to represent a 'Saiyan' or 'Frieza Force' soldier from the Dragon Ball franchise.
Design Notes
The design utilizes the 'neck-bracket' armor to bulk up the silhouette. The use of a Star Wars pilot torso to mimic 'Saiyan Armor' is a common technique in the MOC (My Own Creation) community.

Collectibility
Low for purist collectors; Moderate for fans of 'purist customs' or anime-themed LEGO creations.
History
Reflects the early 2020s trend of using licensed Star Wars parts to create custom anime characters before official or high-end custom alternatives were widely accessible.
Interesting Facts
The torso belongs to one of the most respected Rebel leaders in Rogue One, yet here it serves as a sci-fi grunt's battle armor.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed in a custom sci-fi hangar or alongside other custom anime-themed figures.
Modification Potential
High. This is already a modified figure. Adding printed legs or a tail would complete the 'Saiyan' aesthetic.
Overall Assessment
A creative purist custom combining LEGO Star Wars parts with fantasy elements. While not a high-value official collectible, it is a great example of minifigure customization.
