Theme

Year Released
2014 - Debuted in set 75037 Battle on Saleucami as part of the Episode III wave which introduced modern leg and torso printing standards.
Rarity
Uncommon to Rare - While mass-produced for a single set, its era-specific printing and popularity with army builders have significantly decreased circulation of high-quality units.
Head
Standard 'Scowl Face' clone head with flesh tone, dark orange/brown eyebrows, and light nougat skin. The head is topped with a Phase 2 BARC trooper helmet featuring red 91st Recon markings and a gray respirator visor.
Torso
White torso with sand-blue chest plate, detailed ammo pouches on the right, and four red status indicators on the left. The back features standard clone oxygen filtration pack printing. Includes white arms and black hands.
Legs
Highly detailed dark red and white legs with intricate toe and knee plate printing. Features dark red 'boots' and white thigh plating with red accents, a significant upgrade over previous variants.
Accessories
Equipped with a standard black DC-15S blaster carbine. The image shows a shorter blaster variant commonly used for reconnaissance units. Missing the optional fabric kama or pauldron sometimes added by collectors to simulate Commander Neyo.
Color Scheme
Primary white with sand-blue, dark red, and black accents. The red markings denote the 91st Mobile Reconnaissance Corps specialty under Commander Neyo.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing including the wrap-around helmet prints and toe/foot details. The 2014 era introduced higher density ink which is less prone to fading than earlier designs.
Variants
The 91st Recon trooper has a notable variant from 2005 (sw0129) which used the classic helmet mold. This 2014 version is the only 'modern' printing style available for this specific unit.
Condition Notes
The 'chin' area of the helmet is susceptible to paint rubbing. Check for torso cracks under the arms and heel cracks on the unique red-printed legs, which can be brittle over time.
Estimated Value
Used Complete: $35.00 - $45.00 USD; New/Mint: $55.00 - $70.00 USD. Individual helmets alone often sell for $15+ due to their uniqueness.
Price (New)
Included in set 75037 which retailed for $14.99 USD in 2014. The figure now exceeds the original value of the entire set on the secondary market.

Character Background
A specialized member of the 91st Mobile Reconnaissance Corps, serving under Commander Neyo and High General Adi Gallia (and later Stass Allie). Notable for their Phase 2 armor designed for high-speed pursuit on BARC speeders.
Design Notes
Utilizes the specialized BARC trooper helmet mold which is distinct from the standard Phase 2 Clone helmet, featuring a more protruded respirator and different visor narrowing.
Similar Minifigures
Commander Neyo (Custom), Phase 2 212th Battalion Trooper (sw0522), and the ARF Trooper (sw0297).
Collectibility
High - Clones from specialized legions are the most sought-after by Star Wars collectors. The 91st Corps is particularly popular due to their unique helmet design.
History
First introduced in the 2005 line with very simple prints, this 2014 update marked a major leap in LEGO Star Wars accuracy, utilizing the modern Clone Trooper body architecture.
Interesting Facts
Though many call this 'Commander Neyo,' it is officially a generic 91st trooper. Neyo is distinguished by minor markings that LEGO omitted to keep the figure versatile for army building.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed on a BARC speeder or in a forest/marsh diorama representing Saleucami. Looks excellent when paired with the 2014 BARC Speeder sidecar build.
Modification Potential
Excellent for 'purist' customs. Many collectors add a dark red cloth kama and a gray shoulder pauldron to officially designate this figure as Commander Neyo.
Overall Assessment
A top-tier clone variant with a unique helmet mold and excellent leg printing. It is a 'must-have' for collectors of the Grand Army of the Republic and holds its value exceptionally well.
