Figure ID
sw1185
Theme
Star Wars
Year Released
2022 (Debuted in the UCS AT-AT and 2022 Battle Pack)
Rarity
Uncommon. While found in a cheap Battle Pack (75320), it also comprises the massive army-building force in the expensive UCS AT-AT (75313).
Head
Light Nougat, Dual Sided: Grinning / Angry Expression. Covered by a white Snowtrooper helmet with a flat shroud mold.
Torso
White Torso with Snowtrooper armor pattern (chest control box with red/blue buttons), white arms, and dark tan hands to represent gloves.
Legs
White Legs and Hips with detailed printing of armor plating and fabric folds, including dark bluish gray and light bluish gray accents.
Accessories
Standard black long blaster (non-stud shooter version). This variant usually includes a white fabric or plastic kama/skirt in some sets, though not pictured here.
Color Scheme
Primary white with light nougat skin tone, dark tan hands, and black/gray technical printing.
Printing Details
High-fidelity modern pad printing on head, torso (front and back), and legs. Features significant improvement in line weight and detail compared to pre-2010 versions.
Variants
Standard Snowtrooper (sw0115), Printed Waist (sw1185), and several versions with different head prints or backpack attachments (cloth vs. brick-built).
Condition Notes
Prone to yellowing of the white plastic if exposed to UV. Check for 'heel cracks' on the back of the legs and torso side cracks under the arms.
Estimated Value
Used: $3.00 - $5.00 USD | New: $5.00 - $7.00 USD. Value is kept low due to high volume in Battle Packs.
Price (New)
$19.99 (Set 75320) or $849.99 (Set 75313). Individual blind price is roughly $5.00.
Compatible Sets
75313 AT-AT (Ultimate Collector Series), 75320 Snowtrooper Battle Pack, 75322 Hoth AT-ST.
Character Background
Imperial cold-weather assault stormtroopers specially trained for operation in arctic climates, famously seen during the Battle of Hoth in Star Wars: Episode V.
Design Notes
Features the updated helmet mold that does away with the older 'vent' holes, providing a more screen-accurate silhouette. The hips are white to better blend the leg-to-torso transition.
Similar Minifigures
sw0115 Snowtrooper (Classic), sw1184 Hoth Scout Trooper, sw0424 Snowtrooper (Dark Gray Hips).
Collectibility
High for army builders but low as a single-piece investment. Most collectors purchase these in quantities of 10 to 40 for Hoth dioramas.
History
Snowtroopers have been in production since 2003. This specific 2022 iteration represents the peak of detail and accuracy for the standard infantry unit.
Interesting Facts
The UCS AT-AT (75313) includes 8 of these figures, but actually has seating for 40, leading to a massive secondary market surge for this specific ID.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed on a white 'snow' baseplate alongside a 75322 AT-ST or in the interior bays of a large-scale AT-AT walker.
Modification Potential
Excellent for Hoth-themed MOCs. The printed legs are often used for custom insurgent or cold-weather rebel troopers due to the high detail.
Overall Assessment
A quintessential Star Wars figure that is mandatory for any Original Trilogy collection. High quality, affordable, and extremely accurate to the source material.
