Theme
Star Wars
Year Released
2015. It debuted in set 75089 'Geonosis Troopers' during a period when LEGO was transitioning toward more detailed, weathered printing for Prequel-era figures.
Rarity
Uncommon. While part of a relatively affordable battle pack, it was only available in that specific set which has been retired for several years, driving up singular figure demand.
Head
Standard 'Angry Clone' face (flesh tone) under a Geonosis-colored Phase 2 helmet. The helmet features dark tan and brown 'Geonosis camouflage' printing with a black visor line.
Torso
Dark Tan base with Geonosis camo pattern. Front printing includes Phase 2 armor plates with scuffing/weathering and a dark brown utility belt. Black arms and black hands.
Legs
Dark tan with hip and leg printing. Includes sand-colored armor details, knee pads, and continued camouflage weathering patterns from the torso.
Accessories
Typically came with a black Stud Shooter (15403) from the original set. This specific image shows the figure without held accessories.
Color Scheme
A unique palette of Dark Tan, Brown, and Sand Yellow. This differs from the standard white clone armor to mimic the desert terrain of the planet Geonosis.
Printing Details
High-detail pad printing. Features 'dirty' weathering on the helmet, torso, and legs. This was one of the first mass-produced clone troopers to feature such extensive environmental camouflage printing.
Variants
Standard version (sw0605) and the Airborne clone variant (sw0606) from the same set. There are no significant regional or production variants of this specific ID.
Condition Notes
The helmet and torso are prone to scratches that blend into the camo. Check for hair-line cracks on the torso sides (under arms) and neck stump, common in figures from this era.
Estimated Value
$8.00 - $12.00 USD used; $15.00+ USD in like-new/mint condition. Prices fluctuate based on 'army builder' market demand.
Price (New)
The original set (75089) retailed for $12.99 USD and included four troopers, giving this figure an initial value-per-unit of roughly $3.25.
Compatible Sets
75089-1: Geonosis Troopers (released 2015).
Character Background
These troopers represent the Grand Army of the Republic's specialized camouflage unit deployed during the Second Battle of Geonosis, as seen in the Star Wars: The Clone Wars TV series.
Design Notes
Uses the 2014-style Phase 2 helmet mold. The design was praised for moving away from the 'clean' look of earlier clones to a more gritty, realistic military aesthetic.
Similar Minifigures
Geonosis Airborne Trooper (sw0606), Phase 1 Geonosis Trooper (sw0441), and 41st Kashyyyk Camo Trooper (sw0519).
Collectibility
High. Clone troopers are the most collected sub-category of LEGO Star Wars. 'Army builders' often buy these in bulk to create dioramas, ensuring a stable aftermarket price.
History
Followed the 2013 Phase 1 Geonosis clones. It marked the expansion of the 'Geonosis' sub-theme within LEGO's annual battle pack releases.
Interesting Facts
Despite being named 'Geonosis Trooper,' the specific camouflage pattern is very similar to the ARF troopers seen in the 'Landing at Point Rain' episode of The Clone Wars.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed on a tan/reddish-brown baseplate to simulate the Geonosian surface. Ideal when grouped in a squad of 4 with a walker or barricade.
Modification Potential
Highly popular for part-swapping. The camo arms and legs are frequently used for custom 'WA-7' or specialized mercenary MOCs due to their unique color.
Overall Assessment
A solid 8/10 figure for collectors. While not a unique named character, its specific color scheme and high-quality printing make it a standout for Prequel-era enthusiasts.
