Figure ID
jw011
Theme
Jurassic World
Year Released
2015. Released primarily in sets accompanying the 'Jurassic World' film debut.
Rarity
Uncommon. While not a limited edition, this specific trooper variant only appeared in two sets and is more desirable than the generic blue-vested guards.
Head
Light flesh head with brown glasses, slight smile, and furrowed eyebrows. Single-sided printing. Topped with a standard white motorcycle/pilot helmet and trans-clear visor.
Torso
Tan torso with printed ACU (Asset Containment Unit) tactical vest. Features a blue ID badge, pocket details, a red/gold circular logo, and tactical straps. Back printing includes more vest equipment detail. Light flesh hands.
Legs
Dark tan legs with printing continuing the tactical harness and leg straps from the torso design.
Accessories
Black camera (often used as a tranquilizer gun or specialized scanner) and a trans-clear visor attached to the white helmet.
Color Scheme
Primary colors are Dark Tan and Tan, accented with blue and white. This desert/field camo scheme is specific to the ACU field teams.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing. Continuous print alignment from the torso to the hips and upper legs is a signature of this era's detailed figures.
Variants
Several ACU variants exist, including jw001 (vest over blue jumpsuit) and jw022 (different head/helmet combination). This version is distinct due to the tan jumpsuit base and glasses.
Condition Notes
Visors are prone to scratching and loosening. Check for hairline cracks in the heels and torso sides, which are common in 2015-era dark tan plastic.

75916 Dilophosaurus Ambush (2015), 75919 Indominus Rex Breakout (2015).
Character Background
Asset Containment Units (ACU) are InGen's highly trained security force tasked with tracking and recapturing escaped genetically modified dinosaurs.
Design Notes
Utilizes a highly detailed tactical vest print that was praised for realism. The tan color choice reflected the field gear seen in the 2015 movie.
Similar Minifigures
jw001 ACU Trooper, jw022 ACU Trooper, and various 'Dino' theme guards from 2012.
Collectibility
Moderate. High demand for builders looking to create ACU 'army' dioramas, though value remains stable rather than skyrocketing.
History
This figure marked LEGO's return to licensed dinosaur themes after the 2012 'Dino' line, introducing more realistic military-style printing.
Interesting Facts
The headpiece with glasses was originally designed for the LEGO City line but was repurposed here to give the trooper a more technical, expert look.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside the Indominus Rex (75919) or in a jungle MOC with foliage and containment fences.
Modification Potential
Excellent for military/tactical MOCs. The torso and legs can be used for custom SWAT or modern soldier figures without modification.
Overall Assessment
A solid, well-detailed 'grunt' figure. Score: 7/10. Essential for Jurassic World completionists but affordable for casual collectors.
